Sea World Carnivale 2025 dates have been released, running from the February 1st to March 1st 2025. https://seaworldcarnivale.com.au/

Seems to be a lot of the same as previous years however, Trident isn't mentioned on the Rides & Exhibits page.

Zero effort put into Carnival 2025

Only change for 2025 are the upgrades price increase.

Only just realised that fireworks have also been removed from the Carnivale Aquacolour Show this year. 
 

VTP driving more nails into their evening events…

I get the feeling a lot of people won’t be. The event hasn’t had massive crowds the last few years and this year I haven’t really noticed the park even pushing the event in marketing.

Hopefully more people don't go and the nightwatchman of the park wake up to it and make positive changes to get people back.

Agreed and I hope that’s the case for all of Villages nighttime events. Especially Fright Nights.

Rumor has it they've dropped the pyro due to animal welfare concerns. 

It's a shame, but if that is the case, then I have to respect that they're prioritising animal welfare over entertainment.

If that’s is the case, I am 100% supportive of that decision but they should be transparent about it. No one is going to complain if they gave that reasoning. 

instead they gave this, which just comes across as code for “we want to save money”

I think that's a double edged sword. 

If they're transparent that it's animals, they'll be accused of pandering to the likes of JFC. Probably accused of going woke or some other pseudo-political flavour of the month. 

Have a look at the backlash Dreamworld received when they announced the changes to tiger island. 

Put simply, they're damned in they do, and damned if they don't. Don't get me wrong - I like the transparency - and Dreamworld has been doing more 'heart on their sleeve' comms lately while Village continues to persist with 'pay no attention to the man behind the curtain', but in this one specific case at Sea World, I think being vague about their reasons, even if a few folk bemoan the loss without knowing the reasons why, it's probably better than the backlash they'd receive if they were upfront about it.

They will also get backlash for having fireworks previously because people love to be outraged.

Probably lies, it's the animals fault.

MW blamed the guest for DD changed cycle, now Sea World all of a sudden cares about how noise affects fish.

SW housing a Polar Bear on the GC, tells me all I need to know.

^before anyone bites, take note - this guy calling a dolphin 'fish' should tell you all you need to know.
