Memorial Day weekend acted as a testing ground for this year's Summer Nights festivities. Below are some notes and observations about this year's event:
- Sea Lions Tonite! was back and in full force. The show was well rehearsed and as hilarious as ever. It seemed like it was basically unchanged from last year - except they highlighted Kraken instead of Manta. Does anyone know if they alternate between the two? I was also expecting some sort of Turtle Trek parody but was bummed to see it excluded. Maybe next year.
- Shamu Rocks played to a full house Sunday night. The show remains unchanged from the Bands, Brew, and BBQ showings earlier this year.
- Reflections Fireworks was great as always with no major changes. There will still be the DJ and Dragon Legend Acrobats prior to the show this year.
- The bayside Pathway was open this weekend, but the Summer Nights food and beverage options were not. More on that in the following weeks.
- The park-wide music loop seemed the same as last year, playing current pop music throughout the park.
- Light up hair is going to be big this summer!
'til next time - Journey On!
