Shamu Show: One Ocean

Pretty neat show. Not nearly as cool now that the trainers can no longer swim with the whales? Still worth going. They are absolutely majestic creatures! This is one of the parks biggest attractions & crowds!

While the big ginormous for moving TV’s are pretty cool it does not add to the quality of this lame and boring show. The trainers could not even go in the water and bounce off in the air do backflips. The whales barely jumped out of the water anymore security guard was standing with m16 to keep everybody away from the tank. It was as if prison inmates were swimming in circles instead of having a blast jumping through hoops at eating fish. If you’ve never seen a killer whale and person you might just enjoy the show and there’s a chance you might be on TV with the show. If you get really really lucky you’ll get the seal well eat one of the Pelican and trust me is a glorious and entertaining thing to see if only it could happen at every show.

This show was actually my most anticipated in SeaWorld, but ended up boring me. Because the actors don’t get into the pool anymore, the stunts are a lot more limited.
The killer whales still do some cute tricks (from clever head shakes to kissing one another), but a lot of the show just felt like people just trying to watch others get soaked (the front 10 rows DEFINITELY get soaked, avoid it if you don’t want to be wet. I saw multiple parents carry their crying, soaked babies out.) It got really repetitive after a while.
Overall, you still have to see this show as it’s a big highlight of SeaWorld and killer whales are magnificent to simply watch.

This year is going to be full of changes that’s for sure…
The killer whale show that features «Shamu» is called one ocean… It is a very good show and a must see if you have never been sea-​world before…
Loved the shamu show… lines were very long/​very hot in July… If i could do this over I would go in fall/winter…i wished they would have the shows clearly listed as soon as you arrived…

This show was amazing. It lasted about half an hour. We sat in a splash zone and although we didn’t get wet, others were not so lucky. One woman a few rows down from us literally looked as if she was in a dunk tank. There is plenty of seating however it’s good to arrive a little prior to the shows start time. The whales all look healthy and well taken care of. The trainers don’t get into the water anymore, they used to several years ago. If you’re going to be at Sea World, this show is a must see. We were entertained from the moment it began to the moment it ended. Great for kids and adults!

Spectacular show! Very impressive indeed. The aspect about training the whales and cruelty associated with it is something I am not to certain about. But the extent to which I could see, they were being fed throughout and looked happy performing all the tricks.
The people sitting in the splash zone beware. You will really get splashed with a lot of water if you are sitting in the lower 10 rows for sure. And what fun it is! At least it was a lot of fun sitting 3 rows above the splash zone seeing everyone get soaked. Not sure what kind of view they had.
Anyways. This show has more Shamu and company time than the dolphin show where the aerial acrobats and divers are performing for half the time. Not here. It’s all about the black and white beautiful whales.
There are quite a few options for fast food at the Shamu stadium. And the facility is very well kept what with very clean restrooms et al. Try to get to the show for the noon sessions as it mostly rains in the later part of the day in Orlando. And they do delay or cancel the show in case of inclement weather. Great show overall.

Animal activists, please don’t be offended.
This was a highlight of a rather painfully rainy day at SeaWorld. So. Much. Fun.
We sat by the front in the soaking deck and got splashed by the big ol’ whales. Can’t miss it if you’re visiting. Definitely worth the wait.

It was a very good show, and the whales played a big part in it. (Seriously, I’m not being dumb by pointing that out, go see the dolphin show and you’ll spend 10 straight minutes at one point without seeing a dolphin — not kidding). The whales did a lot of different tricks and sprayed people in the splash zone in quite a wide variety of ways.
Had to keep reminding myself that the trainers don’t get in the water with the whales anymore :-(
My main beef with this show (and many other Seaworld shows) is they no longer talk to the audience about the animals. For decades they’d spend part of the show talking about the whales and where they come from and what they eat and explain things they do to train them and protect/​rescue ones in the environment. Now it’s like a huge multimedia production with video screens and the trainers moving around to coreographed pieces. Nice and pretty, but in no way educational about the animals at all. It’s like they’ve sold out of being interested in education.

Great educational venue. Kids learn about sea life and about our own behaviors did how our actions affect the seas.
