If you take on that kind of job working with such powerful wild animals, you know the risks. Sure you can 'tame' them to some degree and teach them tricks, but they will always have that natural instinct. I think it will be good to see the Trainers back in the water, afterall it's what they're most passionate about. I'm not saying they should risk their life for the sake of entertainment, but accidents happen, we learn from them and we move on. Im sure Dawn would be happy to see her fellow trainers back in the water doing what they love.

That is such good news! I felt Seaworld was just not the same without the trainers in the water. I'm sure Dawn's family will be pleased as I fell she would not have wanted the trainers removed.

Great news... but having said that Sea World has so much to offer anyway its still always going to be a winner with me! That would just be the cherry on top of an already wonderful cake! i love the atmosphere of seaworld, always seems that little bit more chilled and laid back than the other parks. Cant wait to go again! thanks for sharing Stu! Yvonne x

I'd be surprised if they are still pulling in the crowds to see it in its current form. I couldn't believe it ended when it did last year, never even got started then it ended. Its a small shadow of its former self.

I'd very much welcome a similar show to before but again lets see what happens

I think the trainers have probably been itching to get back in the water tbh. Be very surprised if they were not fully behind plans to re-introduce themselves back into the water.

I agree as I've said before you don't do a job like that without passion it must be like flying a jet one day and then being asked to ride a bike
This past year must have been very bad for them
I don't think Dawn would want it any other way
And when I go this year I will remember all her love and good work with these wonderful whales
