May 25 SeaWorld Park Update

Some notes and general park observations from Friday, May 26, 2012.

You can catch a preview of SeaWorld's Summer Nights entertainment early this year! SeaWorld will add Sea Lion's Tonite, Shamu Rocks, and Reflections Fireworks to their entertainment offerings 5/26, 5/27, and 5/28.



Below are some shots of the Shamu Underwater viewing area. It it looking closer to reopening every day.

 It looks like they have taken some time to re-landscape the area to get it looking pretty again.

 The rising floor is visible from the window, but doesn't distract from the tank much.

I've always enjoyed how each shop in the park sells items exclusive to the attraction it is near. Below are some items that can be found in the Fins shop, located near Shark Encounter.

 Some retro SeaWorld logo shirts -

Overview of the Fins shop.

If you never got the chance to experience the show, or were a big fan, you can still take home a copy of the soundtrack and a DVD version of Believe.  The soundtrack and single case DVD sell for $5.00 each. The DVD with whale tale necklace retails for $10.00

Details in the Traders shop near Shark Encounter.

 

 Sea Rescue is now being advertised before One Ocean.

Bayside Pathway will soon undergo a transformation for Summer Nights.

A change made shortly after the beginning of the year. The stand that once sold the freshly made potato chips on skewers has undergone a menu change and now sells ice cream and turkey legs.

A photo of the amount of money that has been donated from the Turtle Trek shop. Very interesting to see - that $7,000+ figure is from 10% of all purchases made in that tiny store in less than a month!

The Turtle Trek advertisement has been removed and is now back to advertising the Key West area.

'Til next time - Journey On!
