Summer Nights at SeaWorld Orlando Start June 22

Just a few more days, and SeaWorld Orlando's Summer Nights event will return, albeit with a few differences. Gone is the beautiful "Reflections" fireworks show, for example, which is being replaced by some pyrotechnic effects at the end of the last Shamu Rocks show of the night. This completely confirms the rumor that one of our Readers shared with us months ago. That being said, here you are some more information regarding this year's event, which will undoubtedly still be great due to the additional shows planned every night:
