Sea World Orlando
Sea World: A marine animals-based amusement park.
Sea World is an amusement park themed on marine mammals. It is located in United Stats and has operations across Orlando, San Diego, San Antonio, Florida, Texas, California, and previously Ohio, Aurora. The park attraction includes Sea Lions, Orca, Dolphins and other different marine animals.
It was Milton C. Shedd, David Demont, Ken Norris, and George Millay, who brought this amusement park to life. They were graduates from UCLA and originally thought of building an underwater restaurant. Their concept was not feasible, so they decided to open an amusement park and with this came the first Sea World at San Diego on 21st March, 1964. With 22 acres, a few dolphins, some sea lions, and 6 other attractions, it became successful within a period of 12 months and is still growing.
Sea World has a variety of rides, namely Kraken, The Great White, and Journey to Atlantis. Kraken is a roller coaster ride whereas Journey to Atlantis is a combination of a splashdown and a roller coaster ride.
Orcas, however, are the main attractions at Sea World. Several of them occupy 7-million gallon tanks. Three Sea World parks have 22 orcas. The other main attraction of Sea World is the Shark Encounter.
Aside from being a great tourist attraction, it has contributed greatly to wildlife conservation. Scientists, rescue teams, zoologists, and trainers of Sea World have participated in many research programs and have helped stranded whales, sea lions, seals and dolphins.
Thus, it can be said without hesitation that they are entertaining human beings and helping marine animals simultaneously.
