A Very EMPTY Sea World Orlando - Looking For Shamu / Buying An Annual Pass & Construction Walls

Sea World Orlando April 2024

[@umrmech84]

That parking cost is INSANE. No wonder the lot is empty.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Agreed . $34 for parking two hours before close is a tad bit much

[@Curious_Skeptic]

@@TheDailyWoo Are you kidding??? That is pure insanity.

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

Almost $40 at Dollywood 😢​@@TheDailyWoo

[@traceytrotter9934]

It is empty because everyone watched Blackfish.

Thanks for venturing beyond Disney! Love Seaworld and Busch

[@user-bw1on7hs7s]

Watching fish is so relaxing, lowers your blood pressure, that's why many dentist office have aquarium's in the waiting rooms

[@jimcharles9705]

Parking fees. What a racket!! These places should ALL have free parking. If you REALLY NEED that $34 from me, build it into the ticket price. Stop nickel and diming me!!

[@JKillingITinFL]

next will be restroom fees, table and chair fee for dining.

[@kathymcel]

So, if people come on a bus they automatically pay for parking?

[@paulg845]

Plus the parking fee is *per vehicle*... Not *per person*... So building it into a ticket price would be ludicrous.

[@FunAtDisney]

Name one themepark, sports venue, convention center and most hotels that do not have a parking fee? How long has it been since you’ve been to any of those places? Disneyland had a parking fee from day-one (yes, it was only 25-cents, but they had one).

[@karenleemallonee684]

I remember my first trip to Sea World in the late 60's in San Diego. Its the one & only time my Dad ever did anything like that with us, I was maybe 6 years old. 👍👍

[@stephenthomas2293]

Welcome back to Florida brother, glad you made it back safe and thanks for taking us on your Colorado adventure. I enjoyed it. And now I will enjoy your Sea World adventure

So relaxing that moment looking to the whales on that cozy and great themed room.I would live there as If I were on a Science Expedition (without The Thing of course 😅)

The last time I went to Sea World was in the mid 90s for a class field trip. Would like to see some coster videos when you go back.

[@christopherknorr9794]

@TheDailyWoo ever go to Hersheypark? If not should be on your list of places to visit.

[@kapes13]

I just got there this year, it is great for sure!!! :)

[@smspirate]

Well - my HS band performed for the Sea World opening day TV special back in 1976 or so... Last time I was at Sea World was in 2004 - we were evacuated from Leesburg for Hurricane Jeanne. My Dad died that morning, and me, mom, and 4 out of town relatives freaking out at the Mariott condo we stayed at for 4 days. I will NEVER forget watching the coasters sway in the wind from our balcony.

[@garethrees9856]

I see a trip to Sea World with Adam and Tim in the future

[@tracymacarthur5699]

I'm looking forward to seeing more from SeaWorld and Bush Gardens

Back in the 80's that Shamu Stadium was PACKED. It still was when I took my kids 2015'ish....what a difference....

[@jake1776]

It’s so sad how the fake environmentalists ruined sea world

[@natalied662]

good difference.

[@familyarthurs5922]

Busch Gardens is one of my favorite parks. Looking forward to that video! My kids always loved Sea World. One of my last good memories with my first wife was at Sea World. After she had surgery and chemo for cancer, we went there. She was an Energizer bunny, I had a rough time keeping up with her. Less than a year later she relapsed and passed away. Our visit to Sea World around Christmastime was a fond memory.

[@flaminggmonkeyss]

seaworld really knows how to do a good water raft ride. I feel like they're always slightly disappointing or too short at most places, even disney surprisingly. sea world san diego's is lenghty and dynamic and really gets you truly soaked lol. haven't been to orlando's but looking at this it looks like it also is firing on all cylinders i'd love to try it some day.

[@winningfreak1]

Welcome to the Seaworld Family Adam, Parking is a ripoff but now that you have it included in your pass it's much better. Check the Seven Seas concert line up, all the concerts are included with your pass and are free! Have a great time

[@LizzieWestBathandBody]

I know there's going to be proponents for or against the SeaWorld. I have seen blackfish I personally will never financially support SeaWorld. But I'm really glad they're getting away from and I guess they have no choice of their former orca practices. The shark experience was amazing that was the highlight of my morning. Thank you for taking us along. I've only been to that Park once and that was in 1984 so it's been quite a while. Back then obviously because jaws 3D had just came out a few years after they still had a lot of what was shown in the film on the property which was pretty cool. I think I was 21 at the time I don't remember. Thank you for sharing.

[@theathjr]

Adam great video bytheway but I wanted to recommend visiting San Simeon California to see the massive conglomeration of Elephant Seals. I have taken my kids there camping for years and we always stopped by the viewing area. Its free and there is usually a Park Ranger present to explain tidbits and factoids etc etc. I highly recommend checking it out if you’re passing through.

[@charlesallen2306]

Hey if you got the Busch Gardens pass, you should go to Williamsburg. It's a really nice park! Also Hershey Park as someone else mentioned, and while in PA, 2 weekends in October is the annual Apple festival near Gettysburg. It's a really nice festival, with a classic car show. Really great content + Gettysburg as well.

[@brandocommando2577]

Love and honor to learn and appreciate and love the animals and get them back into their natural environment! Adam you’re the man! Woooo!!

The tunnels with the fish n sharks swimming all around you are extremely cool 😎!!! Sea World is a treasure and is a wonderful alternative to the constant rollercoaster inundations of most amusement parks. The seals n sea lions were totally awesome,!!! I hope some of this money they are charging is going to the care of these fabulous aquatic animals n their habitats!!! Haven't been to Sea World since the 1980's.

[@cobracommanda]

Love Sea World & Busch Gardens! I got an upgraded pass a month or so ago when they were doing a "buy the next tier up for the same price as your current tier" promotion, not sure whether that was still going on. The last time my BF and I were there the belugas weren't in their tank--I'm very happy to see they are back now!

Parking fees for these parks is such a racket...especially given the entrance fees.

[@marygrace1968]

Seeing the sea lions in LaJolla Cove was one of our greatest memories in CA.

Also remember that one of the Shamus killed a trainer in 2010. That was the beginning of the end for Shamu.

[@michaeldaniels5067]

it wasnt shamu. it was Tilikum.

It is a very real risk of dealing with these massive intelligent creatures. It was blown out of proportion.

@@MichaelRei99it was blown out of proportion. The fake environmentalists ruin everything. Think of all the thousands of children who grew up in the 1980s seeing Shamu and deciding to help marine life. Sea world did more for the oceans than anyone!

I understand why but the Shamu show isn't as good as it once was because the trainers aren't allow to get in the water with the whales. Like I say, I understand why. Also the whales are going to be kept til they pass on but not mating them anymore.. I believe I did feed the seals the last time I was there.. ;0)

When Mr the Woo held up that retro Sea World shirt it reminded me that I had one just like it. I believe the shirt color was the same, but the writing was just black and white. I don't remember going there though, so I believe someone I know went and brought the shirt back for me. I was sick for a day when we went to Disney as a kid, so maybe that's what I missed

Adam, that's great you got a SW/BG AP, SW offers a different experience than Disney for sure. We have AP's for all the central FL parks. While we don't go to SW to often, it's still a good time, great coasters. The food festival is decent, and the concerts they get are great. Plus SW always has great AP perks.

The last time I was at Sea World Orlando they didn't have any rides, way back in 1980 something. The park has drastically changed to say the least. I remember all the stuff you were talking about regarding Jaws 3-d. And like everyone else has chimed in that those parking fees are ridiculous.

[@BrancyCDA]

Great to see Sea World, it was the one park we skipped, since we lived in So Cal when we visited WDW and both Universal parks 20 years ago! Always loved the Shamu show in San Diego, but understand the need to shift to experiences with the remaining captive Killer Whales, versus continuing breeding them for shows. Love that they are emphasizing rescue and education about these animals and what we can all do to ensure the health of our oceans and their dwellers.

You can do a shark tour that will take you behind the scenes where Bess Armstrongs character comes down a set of stairs and identifies Overmans body on the table. I totally geeked out lol! There's still a sign there at the bottom of the stairs that was in the movie. Also, the stingray feeding area now is the same area where they filmed her character trying to rehab the baby great white before it died.

I can’t wait to get on the new coaster when it gets finished. The Frist’s time we took my sister when she was little at 2 we started at Bush Gardens then on to Sea World week or more at WDW.

[@michaeldaniels5067]

the name shamu has not been used in many many years, over the past most recent years, Seaworld has tried to take more and more attention away from the Killer whale exhibit due to all the bad publicity. And the most recent death of one of its trainers, put the end to human interactions, when one of the male whales grabbed a trainer in front of a live audience and pinned her to the bottom of the pool till she drown, and then used her body as a toy. We actually were there the day before this happened and have photos of the trainer the day before her death. sad. These animals are very intelligent, it is very sad what seaworld is doing here. They want to paint a picture of healthy environment for these creatures, but at the end of the day, its an amusement park, and they are struggling.

[@MichaelRei99]

They are now due the BS propaganda.

[@natalied662]
