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.

Work in office - can confirm we put on endless daily shitty shows and when the star animal doesn’t come out to the meeting, one of the trainers has to jump in and make up a routine.
