"One Ocean" opening date officially announced

This is not really a breaking news for OTPN readers.

We already announced this news almost two weeks ago, thanks to the report of one of our readers.

That's true, we said April 23rd, but SeaWorld Orlando has finally decided to anticipate its grand opening one day before they originally decided (based on what we were seeing on SeaWorld Orlando's official Calendar.

Here's the official announcement, from the SeaWorld Parks Blog:

SeaWorld Orlando launches One Ocean on April 22. 

SeaWorld parks across the U.S. will soon debut an all-new Shamu show this spring and summer, connecting you and your family to the sea with a new level of energy, excitement and vibrancy as it educates and inspires you to make a difference in this world.

“One Ocean” features SeaWorld’s majestic killer whales as ambassadors of the sea, and the ocean as the center of our natural world. The show connects you with these remarkable animals and immerses the you in the vivid colors and sensations of the underwater world. At the core of the show is the unifying message that both animals and humans are part of one world, with one ocean, and its future is in our hands to cherish and protect.

This new show is what you love about our parks – thrilling entertainment that educates and inspires you to celebrate, connect and care for the world we share.

One Ocean features spectacular whale behaviors, including thrilling high-energy leaps and multiple whales performing simultaneously.  The whales interact in new ways with trainers, the audience, each other, and even the set itself.  In one segment, the whales play amid giant fountains.

Shamu Stadium – with its three-story set, panoramic LED screens and hundreds of surround-sound speakers – will feature special effects that envelop you in the show experience, including brilliantly colored lights; soaring fountains; stunning underwater imagery and an original, contemporary musical score with global rhythms.

But even more important is the educational message the show imparts: 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.
