Readers' Opinions

I don't enjoy the new spin SeaWorld has taken by trying to make their shows inspirational. This show is unconvincing, trying to pass a young actor on the screen as one of the whale trainers as a child, even though if you see the show more than once it isn't the same trainer claiming that the kid on the screen was him. They try to make it very personal by calling a random child up and giving him the necklace that the trainer supposedly carved when he was an aspiring whale trainer, but when you leave the stadium they're selling hundreds of replicas of the thing for $11.00. It tries way too hard and just isn't believable. There is hardly any Shamu action to top it all off. SeaWorld used to be all shows and no rides, but now they've done a complete 180. - Renee Edwards

I’m sorry, but I don’t need all the back story for what set someone on his or her career path. I want to see the Shamu make big splashes! Am I being too much of a sunbaked tourist? Yes. But that’s what I paid my $85.00 to do. The show tries too hard to make the audience feel all warm and fuzzy. What we really want to feel is wet and salty. Jump whale! - Rob McCullough

This Shamu show pales in comparison to previous versions. Who cares about the trainers and that little wooden necklace thing. I want to see more of Shamu and the other whales doing the stunts instead of a lot of video playing on those moving screens about the trainers. Shamu is Sea World's most recognizable icon and one of the most famous icon in the world. He deserves a better show in which the focus is on him more instead of the trainers. I really enjoyed previous shamu shows. They were more upbeat and featured more of the whales stunts. Please Sea World change this show, and its night time version, so it can be more like they were in the past. - Manny Barron

It has been a while since I have been to Sea World, but this was an even better show than I remembered. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire show. - Carl Stovall
