One Ocean - Seaworld, Orlando Florida

[Stu]

Coming at the end of April, SeaWorld Orlando will debut an all-new killer whale show called One Ocean , connecting guests to the sea with a new level of energy, excitement and vibrancy as it educates and inspires them to make a difference in this world.

“One Ocean” features SeaWorld’s majestic killer whales as ambassadors of the sea, and the ocean as the center of our natural world. The show connects guests with these remarkable animals and immerses the audience in the vivid colors and sensations of the underwater world. At the core of the show is the unifying message that both animals and humans are part of one world, with one ocean, and its future is in our hands to cherish and protect.

“One Ocean” is scheduled to premiere at SeaWorld Orlando at the end of April. It will replace the popular “Believe,” a show that enjoyed a five-year run.

“This new show brings to life SeaWorld’s mission in the most powerful way yet,” said Jim Atchison, President and Chief Executive Officer of SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment. “This show is what guests love about our parks – thrilling entertainment that educates and inspires you to celebrate, connect and care for the world we share.”

The show features spectacular whale behaviors, including thrilling high-energy leaps and multiple whales performing simultaneously. The whales interact in new ways with trainers, the audience, each other, and even the set itself. In one segment, the whales play amid giant fountains.
Shamu Stadium – with its three-story set, panoramic LED screens and hundreds of surround-sound speakers – will feature special effects that envelop guests in the show experience, including brilliantly colored lights; soaring fountains; stunning underwater imagery and an original, contemporary musical score with global rhythms.

But even more important is the educational message the show imparts: we are all part of one world and have the power to make a difference. The message of caring and respect for the world we share is woven throughout the show – encouraging guests to make a difference through their own everyday actions.

“There is an unprecedented level of energy, excitement and passion in this show,” said SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment’s Curator of Animal Training, Julie Scardina. “It is the ultimate SeaWorld experience: world-class entertainment that educates and inspires action. Trainers, producers and educators are collaborating on new ways to connect with the audience and show how closely the human and animal worlds are connected.” The trainers will not be performing in the water with the whales.

It sounds like a great show - though I am slightly disappointed that they haven't found a way of getting the trainers back into the water with the whales.

Believe was awesome because of the interaction. I really hope One Ocean manages to find a way around it and still manages to be as good as the old believe! Its a lot to live up to!

It's been well discussed on this forum that they won't be getting trainers in the water for a long time yet, but it's good to see them move on from Believe.

My partner wanted to visit seaworld when we went to Orlando in 2010 but unfortunately we ran out of time. We are going to orlando again at the end of November 2011 and we will make sure we make time for it this time as this looks like a trip worth doing with this new show. Is there a best day to go on? for less crowds etc or special shows? any tips or advice would be appreciated
