I thought they were supposed to phase out Orca shows in 2019??

[sten]

Is there a rule that the trainers can’t swim with the orca’s anymore? If yes, since when?

[arielcordero]

I went to Seaworld Orlando in 1978 when I was a little kid. I'm 55 now and I will be back this summer. Can't wait to experience the park as an adult and relive so many great childhood memories. I remember watching Shamu do his show and that has always been my fondest childhood memory.

Two questions:
1. Why are the Orcas’ dorsal fins all floppy during the show?

2. What’s the name of the song that plays at the start of the show? I find it really catchy

[WaterOrca]

I'm so impressed with how much airtime the boys get when they jump! Great show!!

[jayd]

[Sheldonmidpro]

Looks like Nalani loves draws on the glass for her, but still sure that the show was fun
