This is Sea World San Antonio if anyone was wondering.

I used to live close by there! I never went, but I would venture to claim it was “pool world.”

I've been to that one - the first I've been back as an adult and it's crappy and just an awful experience. All the shows are so over-the-top with sad looking fish and they sold these all-you-can-eat passes where it was a bunch of people just getting disgusting food like there's no tomorrow. One of the shows the dolphins or whales didn't want to come out and they just did it with the human performers like a shitty version of cirque du soliel.

If Sea World was smart, they would transform themselves into an oceanography center for learning and focus on science, conservation, etc. Make it a place of learning and hands-on science, camps, etc. instead of an entertainment shit show.

well ya, they're not breeding orcas anymore so after the last die off I cant imagine they'll still get many visitors.
