The believe show is very boring and unexciting thought the new rotating tv screens are pretty cool. The night show(shamu rocks) is a lot more entertaining, totally the oposite from the morning show - Erik Avila

Stay away from Believe if you want a fun Shamu show that features the famous killer whales doing their popular stunts. Believe took all the fun out of the old Shamu shows and Sea World gave us an overly sentimental show that focuses on the trainers. I love Sea World but I have avoided Believe after the first time I saw it. The whales were hardly in the show. Anyway the nighttime version(Shamu Rocks) in the Summer and peak seasons is more upbeat and way more fun than Believe and I totally recommend catching that show. - Manny Barron

This show features more use of the orcas than the previous show, which is a definite improvement. The story of the young trainer feels shoehorned in and is nothing more than an attempt to sell the whale tail necklaces. Nevertheless, this is a strong show and typically features a large number of animals and behaviors. - David Eggert

8/10 This is the current Shamu show, and it has a video about the history of Shamu and has Shamu do a lot of tricks. My friend Steven and my brother Flynn liked. My mom said it was the best shamu show since the original. - Jack Borgeson

It was good...almost TOO good! I'd seen some kind of Shamu show about 25 years ago, back when it was just kind of amazing to everyone that a killer whale could be trained. Now, with perfectly timed music, twirling screens synchronized with every action, everything 100 percent scripted...it was so slick that I felt I didn't get an appreciation for how hard it is to train these whales. - Laurie Niles

Loved every minute of the show. What magnificent creatures. Just a hint - go after the crowds have died down and watch the younger whales playing with each other. It is just like a couple of kids playing fetch for an object at a pool. We watched them for 30 minutes and could have stayed longer if our ride had not been ready to leave. - Clementine McTavish

RT @Shamu: @ThemePark Yup, the resume is right there in the name. After all, we're not "Lets Sit Down and Talk About It" whales.
