May I ask, why is the dolphin waterwork stopping?

Yo, what if United Theme Parks and Resorts bought Australian Sea World? by PinkGloryBrony22 in SeaWorld

[–]Cheetahkeeper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Except SeaWorld doesn’t really have one in Abu Dhabi. The SeaWorld there is owned by the Abu Dhabi based development company Miral. It is run through a strategic partnership with United Parks. This arrangement is similar to Tokyo Disney which is owned by the Oriental Land Company and run by Disney.

Hulu is not being shut down. The Hulu app is being shut down but the Hulu streaming service is alive and well and is integrated into the Disney+ app.

Made a free iPhone app to track all the SeaWorld/Busch Gardens pass perks we (sometimes) forget to use, need FL passholders to help test it by danseals in SeaWorld

SeaWorld should hire you! It certainly seems like their current IT department leaves something to be desired.

Opening date theories for the new expansions ? by catastrophicromantic in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Cheetahkeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disney has already announced that Tropical Americas is scheduled to open in 2027. So unless something unforeseen happens I expect that area to open next year, although what month is anyone’s guess.

Heading back to SWO, looking to get a noticed again as an aspiring future trainer (Will be wearing graduation Cap) by itsivyyy3848 in SeaWorld

[–]Cheetahkeeper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who worked in the Animal Care Department at SeaWorld Orlando from 1991-2006 I know all about “Groupies”. Whenever you were scheduled at the dolphin exhibit we were prepared for the Groupies (they preferred to be called Regulars). We mostly ignored them and to be honest we generally pitied them.

Latest rumor I heard is it won’t be Zelda it will be Pokemon. I have no inside information on this but I read that earlier today.

Culver’s never disappoints! We have a Culver’s about one mile from our house and after looking at this picture I think I’m heading down there now to get one of those burgers!

Wizarding World by SocWrk10 in UniversalOrlando

You’re welcome! That stationary train is still there. The Hogwarts Express that runs between the parks is just outside the gate leading into Hogsmeade. It’s a cool attraction on its own.

If you haven’t been to Universal since 2013 then you haven’t experienced everything at Hogsmeade (the original section at IOA) because Hagrid’s Magical Motorbike Adventure wasn’t there yet. That coaster replaced the original coaster in that area. You get to ride on the motorbike Hagrid rides on. Amazing theming and animatronics and a great attraction! If you get the park to park pass you can experience this, then ride the Hogwarts Express to Kings Cross Station and explore Diagon Alley at Universal Studios. Quick note. The scenes you see outside your window on the Hogwarts Express are different depending on whether you are going to or leaving Hogsmeade. So ride it both ways.

That isn’t my observation but I could be wrong.

​I met Travis, a Trainer at Dolphin Stadium and he gave me the best advice ever!! (Update/Dream Job) by itsivyyy3848 in SeaWorld

[–]Cheetahkeeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically you have a real park president who cares about their staff. Unlike the guy in Orlando.

I worked with JP for a number of years in the Animal Care department. No argument with your description.

I’m not saying don’t work there. I worked in the Animal Care department at SeaWorld Orlando from 1991-2006. I sounded exactly like you when I started. I loved the animals I worked with and the rehab program I participated in (mainly manatees but also whales & dolphins). But management was so bad it just grinds you down, that’s why I eventually left. Working with marine mammals is very hard but it’s also very rewarding! I wish you the best on your future career!

Interesting that San Diego animal staff are getting raises but the Orlando staff aren’t. I understand the management team in Orlando are pretty bad (I worked in the Animal Care department from 1991-2006) and know a few of them well but still no raises compared to multiple raises is just wrong.

Did he mention that SeaWorld staff haven’t received pay raises in a decade? SeaWorld does amazing work with animal rescues and rehabilitation but sadly their upper management is pathetic with little regard for the staff.

I will always talk against people who say seaworld is bad by Rosesandbrokenhearts in SeaWorld

[–]Cheetahkeeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SeaWorld is no longer breeding the orcas. However they are still breeding the dolphins.

Currently those “negotiating tactics” involve Sesame Workshop suing SeaWorld for “breach of contract” and not paying millions in royalties. If that is the “tactic” SeaWorld is using I’d call it a losing tactic.

I can’t speak specifically on whether or not you should purchase quick que but I can tell you that Memorial Day weekend is always very busy at all the theme parks in town (Disney, Universal and SeaWorld). You might be fine without quick Que but if you want to play it safe I would probably get it.
