I agree with others about the decline of the Shamu show. Ten years ago it was all about Shamu doing his/her thing. Now it's full of filler about the trainers and lame music. Bring back the old Shamu. This is coming from a HUGE Sea World fan. - jim mclaughlin

Great energy and excitment. I love that they use Apollo 440's great song Stop the Rock to get the crowd whipped up. Shamu shines during this fantastic night show! - William Clark

What is going on with Shamu's shows. I remember when this show used to be a good mixture of music and Shamu. Now it is about 20 percent shamu and the rest involves the trainers dancing and music playing alone with no shamu in sight or a guitarist playing a solo again with no Shamu. I came here to watch Shamu do his signature stunts and not to see an unknown guitarist playing the guitar. The same with Believe, I want more Shamu and less story about how the trainers became what they are now. Hopefully Sea World goes back to the Shamu Adventure days when Shamu was the real star of his show. The short sections of the show in which Shamu does actual stunts are great but to bad he doesn't come out more often. - Manny Barron

Can you say "Vegas"? Its a great show, I admit is, but the vegas "Dancing" aspect seems to belittle the trainers. I actually know one who said that none of them were overly happy to do it, but AB wanted to "show" it up a little. Worth seeing, just for the people who sit in the front 10 rows and get in everyones way when Shamu decides to lower the levels of his tank. Foolish people, "Splash Zone" on the back of those seats is a pretty good hint that you may just get wet. - Gareth H

The best show we've seen anywhere, and in our opinion, better than Believe. Huge "cool factor". Lots of fun and energy. Too bad it's only shown seasonally. A real must-see. - Gil Long

Nowhere near as good as "Believe", but still good. - Wilfredo Alvelo
