SeaWorld Abu Dhabi Vlog January 2024

That Endless Ocean area..... just.... surreal that something that beautiful exists. The scale of the aquarium is breathtaking.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Absolutely incredible

[@sophflan]

Amazing, apart from the dolphin show still being a form of entertainment for us. It’s not a huge space at all, for us yes but not for them.

[@CoastersThrillsAndAirtimeHills]

No, I’m not a huge fan either. Totally agree with you regarding the space.

[@lianwymer5693]

I wish Shawn and Charlotte would educate themselves on this 😔

[@sophflan]

It’s awful, I cringe when it came on those poor dolphins. They need a whole ocean not a pool 😪 it’s not just killer whales!

[@lianwymer5693]

I suggested (politely)that they could educate themselves on the horrors of dolphin/whale/sealion 'entertainment' and sadly they deleted my comment.really disappointed in them for that ☹️

[@CoastersThrillsAndAirtimeHills]

@@sophflan I agree with you. Black fish is a heart breaking documentary.

[@RireV]

Amazing aquariums, awesome theming all round. I would love this park, just a shame about the dolphin and sea lion shows😢

[@7ofthem]

Totally agree

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

The theming and aquarium was spectacular 😍

[@michellehornsbury3914]

I agree. I’m born and bred in Brighton and remember from a small child going to Brighton sealife centre and feeling weird about the dolphins / sea lions. There’s some great documentaries I will post

[@kaleb7636]

Not really

3:52 that's a dugong, that is! Extremely rare. You'd travel halway around the world just to see one of those!

[@adamfavsvidc]

Looks an amazing place. With the exception of the dolphins, not a fan of seeing captive sea mammals like this....😮

Literally a massive pool, what more do you want? they cannot be released into the wild.

Just wow - This is on another level! ❤Gotta be one of the best themed parks out there. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!😊

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It really was spectacular to see!

[@lillocriscenzo5463]

Good morning. I am writing from Belgium, I had the chance to work on this park for 8 months during its construction. I participated in the inspection of the joints of the different acrylic panels. I also had the chance to dive in different pools but the most impressive for a diver is Endless Ocean. So many good memories. I hope to return as a visitor

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

That’s awesome. Great work!

[@beardown6574]

Wow quite possibly one of the most beautiful parks I've ever seen. You're so lucky to have experienced that! Just stunning! The scale was unbelievable!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was amazing to see it!

[@bigbrostevo]

That experience was so mind-blowing, out-of-this-world amazing! I was so emotional and crying actual tears at the end show. I'm so happy for you both to have this experience. And thank you so much for sharing it with us!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was such an amazing day seeing this beautiful park

[@FeedYourGreed]

Endless ocean was absolutely incredible. What a masterpiece of engineering and technology. The scale is so immense. Manta and that Intamin dark ride looked awesome too! Always impressed by their work and commitment to engineering new experiences.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was beautiful to finally see this new park!

[@davidpurser2236]

That looks unbelievable, I’ve been to Seaworld in Florida, but that’s another level, just wow!!!Thanks both for bringing this to us, love your channels, looking forward to your next experience, love you two and everything you do ❤️

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, we had such a great time!

[@DiaryofaRollerCoasterGirl]

For a park that's only been open 8 months, it's weird that the standard family coaster is already closed for a month long refurbishment 😭

[@danielward4868]

Yeah, it surprises me

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It does seem strange, especially as it’s indoors and not exposed to the elements!

[@cfinkelston1023]

I mean it makes sense that it's probably open 365 days that it would be at some point since there is no off season. Hopefully it's not as bad as nickelodeon universe in New Jersey. That park never had all its coasters open on the same day lol. Their two biggest coasters are always down for refurbishment sometimes for months or two at a time. Sandy's blasting bronco actually wasn't listed for refurbishment last time (only shell raiser) but Sandy's was still closed (no one on site) with no explanation. I didn't ride anything that day. It's not worth buying a ticket if those 2 are closed. The one that was closed in this video reminds me of slime streak from nickelodeon universe which isn't that great. Not really a crying shame that this one is closed. Just unfortunate. At least manta was open!

[@coastingalong]

how? in america most rides are only open for that long

Even though it's more focused on the experience and aquatic aspect than actual attractions. It none the less will always leave you stunned walking in and out. I've never seen such effective use of screens in a park like this one! I could understand why some people can argue that this is the best SeaWorld Park! I hope you had so much fun! This park sure does deliver a fantastic experience and especially for families!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was amazing to experience this park and take it all in!

[@GlintOrothorn]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful place with us. When you walked through Endless Ocean and passed through the tunnel that had the aquarium on all sides, it was so moving and amazing. I really didn't think I'd be moved so much by a place like SeaWorld Abu Dhabi. I was literally sitting here watching the Finally in One Ocean and thinking the video can't be almost over, it needs to continue and we need to see even more of this miraculous place. Once again Thank You so much for sharing this visit with us and I hope you get to come back soon and see how SeaWorld Abu Dhabi grows and evolves over the years. Thanks again.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for joining us!

[@Lukestevo1]

A new top 10 rollercoasters in the world would be a cool video after all of your new trips

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We definitely need to update our list!

[@abimadewithlove]

I used to work at Birmingham Sea Life and I thought the tunnel there was awesome but this place looks epic. That giant long window - wow! Not sure about the dolphin show though. Have seen them in the wild though and feels such a shame to restrict them to such a small space for our entertainment.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

The aquarium was spectacular to see!

[@kaleb7636]

The dolphin lagoon is pretty big though. I get what you mean

[@yamato7979]

Great video on Dubai sea world. I have thumbs up 👍

[@rikspector]

Shawn and Charlotte, AS impressive as that Aquarium is to the public, the massive pumps and water control equipment to maintain the correct ph. and temperature and mineral content while eliminating waste is really amazing. Small saltwater aquariums are challenging, this one is on a totally different level. Can you imagine the cost, not only to feed these animals, but to have a fail safe system, because if that power fails it would be a horrible disaster.. This is the worlds largest, but Monterey Bay in California is probably the best pure Aquarium. However, this is really an experience unto itself! Cheers, Rik Spector

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks Rik, it was incredible to see!

That theming might just be the best theming I have seen in a KZbin video. Better than Tokyo Disney. I have been to all the Florida parks and just a few others, so I may not be an expert on global parks... but this was gorgeous! Great video ! I would love to visit this park with my family one day. BTW, I wonder if my 4 park annual pass from BG/SW can be expanded to include this one😅😅

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

The theming really is amazing here!

[@leongreen1706]

I love these little charm parks. Its shame that they’re located in an area that has very outdated laws that puts people off going. It’s sort of money wasted for the quite small average attendance. Most of the parks are exceptionally well themed.

This park is great! love to see a coaster like Manta coming to Europe 🙂 Did you know Moviepark Germany planned a similar ride like this 360 theater back in 2006/2007 themed to the Stargate Atlantis series? I believe it was the same ride system only with projections instead of LED screens. But the prototype had so much troubles that they did not go through with it.

A perfect full day excursion we did now in November 2023. We did Warner Bros World in the morning through to lunch and then Sea World in the afternoon through. Half a day are more than enough to get through each fully. The next say we did morning at Ferrari World and afternoon at Yas Waterworld. Again, half a day each was more than enough l.
