Are you referring to a cosmetic overhaul or the long ago announced orca show overhaul?
At last this change is coming...I'd love it if they just demoed the stadium and used the land for other things. Whales shouldn't have to entertain people.

SeaWorld Orlando to end killer whale show next week
New Year’s Eve will be the final day of the “One Ocean” killer whale show at SeaWorld Orlando in Shamu Stadium.www.local10.com
It actually does have the theme song, sung by a male voice with altered instrumentals. The San Diego version doesn’t have it though.Video of the new show is up on YouTube and it looks mostly the same, just doesn't have the cheesey One Ocean theme song.
The stage updates were definitely planned for Orlando because they were advertised before One Ocean. In my opinion, if they weren’t going to step with both feet, they should’ve just stuck with One Ocean.
Superficial changes to pacify the critics and be able to sell something "new"?
I agree the changes are not substantial enough to justify the re-branding.

Orca Encounter is trillions of times better than the trash known as One Ocean. Thank god that snoozefest is gone.
Blue Horizons was amazing, if not better than One Ocean. I'll always love the killer whale shows the most but BH was really special and memorable. I pulled out my DVD the other day lol (boring times, man). I always thought they could have done something like it at Shamu Stadium - share the focus with live performers and other theatrics alongside the whales. BH ran about 23 minutes and overall the animals only performing for a few minutes of it. If BH played a few times a day, the animals really didn't perform that much at all.
Out of curiosity, do the animals at animal kingdom entertain people? I'm confused.
the recent Russia/China captures
By the way, did you happen to see Long Gone Home on Prime?
I agree. I thought Tiger Joe on Netflix was about tigers in captivity. It was nothing more than a glorified drama With Carol Baskin doing the exact same thing.I think the real difference is that most people watched Blackfish thinking it's a documentary not realizing it's actually a biased, one-sided film that was made to make people protest SeaWorld. A lot of people took the information as gospel and didn't look into it (there are some truths and some non-truths/exaggerations). They dramatized a lot in the film which of course made SeaWorld look more scandalous.
A lot of the same people that now hate on SeaWorld bc of Blackfish don't ever mention the Miami Seaquarium, the other facilities around the world holding orcas, or the recent Russia/China captures bc they simply don't care enough about the actual issue. They aren't actual activists - they just fell for a biased film that told them what to think.
Also, we don't have a high profile documentary for any other captive animal. There are plenty of other large, intelligent animals that are treated way worse than the killer whales at SeaWorld that those people don't care are in captivity. A lot of the same people that refuse to go to SeaWorld now still buy tickets to their local zoo or Animal Kingdom. You can't be a selective advocate.

Whoa whoa my dude, Tiger King is solid gold.
Yeah they definitely combed over the real issue which was that Joe was treated those animals terribly. Everyone is glorifying him right now because he was so outlandish and entertaining but the underlying problem is that he's an animal abuser.
Agree completely. Close them all. Animal Kingdom is a hypocritical disgrace.I think the real difference is that most people watched Blackfish thinking it's a documentary not realizing it's actually a biased, one-sided film that was made to make people protest SeaWorld.
