New dolphin show on the way for Seaworld

[Theme Park Girl]

Just noticed mentioned it in the email they sent out today :-)

*noticed it mentioned, even.

Oh, and you can go into the draw to win a new car w/ every VIP pass purchased, too ;-)

[Reanimated35]

Aww I came here to post that ad and you beat me

I hadn't heard any mention or rumours that I can recall either.

Anyone who works at SW able to shed light on this? Or is it still non-public at this stage?

[Brad2912]

Just a new version of imagine I believe

[rac2703]

Just new dialogue for the presenter and new music, the "tricks" will be reworked into a new order.

[Brad2912]

the "tricks" will be reworked into a new order.

You mean they aren't going to jump through the flaming hoop of death blindfolded?

The Theme Park Social Network mentioned it a week ago.

[Reanimated35]

^ Aren't they just a stupid page that bought a heap of likes to blow their own e-peen?

[iwerks]

No idea. All those GC Facebook pages lookalike to me, but they're often first with news.

You mean the page that just posted this exclusive:

"Stay tuned from Mid 2015 for information on Fright Nights 2015!"

Now that is what you call a cracking exclusive!

Sheesh, that's one hell of a wait. Better not hold my breath

Yep! In breaking news, stay tuned for 2020 to find out who's hosting the 2032 Olympic Games

[Reanimated35]

....yeah I'll wait for the more reliable and trusted sources to post on here.

[iwerks]

Yet they were right this time? A source is a source. I'm sure there are times when people on here get it wrong. I'm just not a fan of Facebook pages that repackage stuff that comes out about GC themeparks - that's why Parkz is better.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I can confirm Imagine is getting reworked and this has come from sources other than facebook fanboy pages.

I have no idea of the content, but given the behaviours (they aren't "tricks") are both variable and limited (they don't always do the same behaviour in the same order every show to keep the variety up for the animals), i'm speculating that we'll see the show reworked, a different order of major portions of the show, similar behaviours, and a nice fresh new storyline to go along with it.

Imagine has run for over a decade with very little changed - however I still consider it a show I can come and watch and re-watch without getting sick of it.

I'd much rather they rework the sea-lion show instead.

[liz.wis]

The sea-lion show is dreadful, if it's still that detective one?

[Cooper Olsen]

How do you thank TMNT will come into SW (New Parade, Ride)?

[Brad2912]

Won't be a ride.

[Theme Park Girl]

I thought the TMNT offering was just guys in costumes and merchandise sales.

Gold Coast theme parks posted this on FB,

We can announce that the NEW Dolphin Show at Sea World will be called 'Affinity'. The show will focus on the connection between humans and dolphins. It will show the beauty of Dolphins, their interaction with humans in the wild and will feature trainers on paddleboards, as Dolphins swim around, and jump over them. Stay tuned for a starting date.

[Reanimated35]

So basically exactly the same but with paddleboards.....

[themagician]

^Pretty much

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

...no.

it has a new name... didn't you read?

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

^probably copied it from a press release.

[pushbutton]

I just hope it's at least as good, and maybe even better than the current one.

[themagician]

According to the theme park social network, the show starts today. Can anyone confirm this?
