Since the aquatic update, previously created worlds won't open.
Steps to repoduce:
Launch Minecraft
Tap Play
Tap on a previously created world with the following settings
Creative
Peaceful
Old World
Pick a Seed (Sunflower Field or Taiga Bay or Winding River)
On the next screen, the loading screen, Progress bar fills up until full. Text continues to cycle, showing different messages, but world never loads. Tried letting it sit for about 5 minutes. It usually takes about 5 seconds after the progress bar loads.
Another note: The aquatic update notification message appears EVERY time the app is launched. Each time the Continue button is tapped, but the message still displays every time.

I have the same issue. After 1.5 update, I cannot open "old" worlds. The progress bar is fully green but never leaves the "generating world" screen. I had friends actually connect and play on another device while my iPad sits on the "generating world" screen. All other worlds load fine. I can make the old world "infinite" and it then opens but I don't want to do that. Also every time I open Minecraft I get the Update Aquatic Part 2 screen and I have to click continue.
