Let's see, the first Sea World was built in San Diego, right by the coean, where saltwater seepage would be less of a problem.
But now they have built one in inland Florida, and one in San Antonio (which sits atop one of the purest aquifers in America)
Both Florida and Texas have long coastlines. Would it have been so terrible to build these things near them?

SeaWorld Orlando and Discovery Cove may be in hot water with the Department of Environmental Protection.
State records over the past seven years showed salt water from the theme parks has been contaminating the groundwater.
The state agency said it has been working with the theme parks since 2000 to measure the leaks and determine how big the contamination is.
Jeff Prather, an agency spokesman, said the state is worried that a contamination of the ground water could trickle down to the aquifer.
