Okay, well, at least that's a bit more palatable.

I'm not sure if it had to do with the age of the building, but one issue with the indoor penguin exhibit it is would constantly steam/mist up on the glass, making it difficult to see things.

While I'd miss the "snowy" indoor environment, a more elaborate outdoor penguin exhibit with better viewing is okay with me. Good thing I've done the penguin experience backstage tour already (and got to see that baby penguin!).

Are there any actual sources to back up the idea they're planning to permanently remove all cold-climate penguins from the park and just keep a small outdoor exhibit for the ones that can live outside? That would be such an unfathomably dumb move, especially when they just named their biggest ride after Emperor penguins. It would make way more sense to me if this were a temporary measure while a new penguin encounter was built near Emperor. Also, would it really cost $60m to build a new one? I'm pretty sure that's more than the entire Antarctica realm in Orlando cost to build.

I’m jugging off the Polk penguin center at the Detroit zoo witch is of comparable scale to a new Antarctica penguin exhibit and opened more recently. The empire of the penguin did. And you are right it would cost more in the range of 40million not 60mill but that’s still a lot for modern sea world and the trip to Orlando for the emperor, Penguins would be way too much stress in the penguins just to move them back in a year or two when the new penguin exhibit would be ready if it were built they would almost certainly keep them in the main exhibit until a new one were built.
