Why would you change it - the rides were so much cooler then.  I'm going to go on that roller coaster, and then that volcano thing, before hitching a ride on those skyway gondolas. Afterwards, you could cool off in the afternoon on that massive water slide. Day made!

Don’t know if anyone has noticed, but the new SeaWorld website are using very very old photos?

Fair to say that's the golden era of Sea World right there.

Add a Sea World Eye and I reckon you're onto something.

Yeah they probably are using that photo because they want the park to actually not look like a piece of shit.

Well I wish they'd make their minds up. They've been trying very hard to make it look that way for the last decade or so. 

Back when Seaworld was at least actually trying to be a reasonably serious theme-park! Like another SE Qld park, in the news for all the wrong reasons these days.....long gone memories now.....of once better days!

The mid to late 2000s to around 2011 was probably the best period Sea World has had so far

Has SW said anything about the new 2019 attraction and/or when they are removing Vikings Revenge ??

Nope. And Nope.

at this rate Jellies will become a 2019 attraction and the unknown Vikings replacement will go the way of the vikings... 

Perhaps they should convert it into a permanent version of "Dismaland", and maybe rename the park "Piss Weak World" (with corporate sponsorship if possible from the producers of the original Piss Weak World in "Fast Forward").

They wouldn'tneed to do much really. Just stop hiding all the parts of the park that are disused, and make them highly visible. 

Frequent ride stoppages could be deliberately increased, thus saving on operating costs and rather than guests finding them a disappointing nuisance, they become a big part of the fun!

Sell even lower quality food at even higher prices for another similar effect! 

It's an Australian cultural comedy park and I think it could really work! 

Sea Worlds carpark was full today and people were parked all up the road. That's cause Jojo Siwa was their doing whatever she does.

Joelle Joanie Siwa is an American dancer, singer, actress, and YouTube personality. She is known for appearing for two seasons on Dance Moms along with her mother, Jessalynn Siwa, and for her singles "Boomerang" and "Kid in a Candy Store".

Jeez Push - you've certainly got your claws out for Sea World... and they're the only park with a Monorail... holy shit!

Ok. Well it sounds like she has a following, so fair enough!

I'm having a bit of fun! There is a serious side to my comments though which I've already said numerous times and so have others.

Just very sad to see Sea world in its current state, knowing how awesome it used to be.

I understand your sentiment, but Piss Weak World was part of The Late Show. 

 

Ok. I did wonder if I'd got it right. Same applies though!

I dontr think they are trying to be a theme park now. All the current website site branding is "Sea World Marine Park" with a huge "Australia's #1 Marine Park" on the page
