SeaWorld to replace "Believe" killer whale show
Feb 7, 2011
SeaWorld will be introducing a new killer whale show in April at their park in Orlando. "One Ocean" will replace the current "Believe" and will eventually be opened at the other SeaWorld parks as well. According to SeaWorld, the concept of the new show is that the killer whales are "ambassadors of the sea and the ocean as the center of our natural world." At the same time, animals and humans are living together in "one world with one ocean" and we all need to work together to protect this world.
Shamu Stadium will be the home for the new show and features a three-story set, panoramic LED screens, colored lights and hundreds of surround-sound speakers. All of these special effects will work together to a soundtrack of global music as the whales demonstrate their high-energy leaps amid soaring fountains.
SeaWorld will continue to keep their trainers out of the water with this new show. After the 2010 death of trainer Dawn Brancheau, trainers have not been allowed to be in the water with the whales. Many of the park's safety practices have been called into question after the incident and it is clear that SeaWorld is trying to move past this. They're hoping that this new show will focus on the educational message that SeaWorld promotes: "We are all part of one world and have the power to make a difference. The message of caring and respect for the world we share is woven throughout the show - encouraging guests to make a difference through their own everyday actions."
