Removable railings have been installed on the staging areas in Shamu Stadium. Since OSHA said in their report that no-one should interact with Tillikum unless there is a physical barrier separating them, this could mean they plan to return to using him in the shows.
Not the most exciting change in the world, but thought I'd post incase anyone was interested. Hopefully this means the return of Tilly.

Guard rails added to SeaWorld pools

Sep 15, 2010

After a deadly incident involving a trainer and a killer whale in February, SeaWorld officials have been looking for ways to make their parks a safe place for their trainers when interacting with the killer whales. Removable guard rails have been added to the main show pool as a barrier between the trainers and the whales. Trainers are currently not allowed in the water with the whales; it has not been decided when this will change. Portable air supplies may be added to trainers' wet suits to be used if they were pulled underwater.

I first saw 'believe' in 2008, it was amazing. My next visit was last month and the changes are very noticiable, obviously no trainers in the pool so there was no interaction, there were safety bars being put in and out during the show (distracting) and at the part where shamu (tilly) used to splash the audience they had to use 3 whales to get the effect as obviously tilly was not present.

If you hadn't seen 'believe' before the sad death of dawn you would be impressed with the show, but if you had seen the before version it was not the same. I felt really sad watching it due to the circumstances and knowing that tilly was behind the scenes not involved, surely when he hears the music he knows he is supposed to be doing something?

I wouldn,t see it again, i would rather keep the memories of my first visit in 2008.:(
