Good Night ActiveRain...
Wow! Today was a stark contrast from all the hustling, jostling and mayhem. The order of the day was to lay back, chill, and enjoy. Gone were the groping, pressing, shoving long lines. Instead, Sea World was a breath of fresh air as compared to Universal Studios. At times, I felt as if I almost had the park to myself, as lines were short, and the attractions were really cool. 

The high light of the day was seeing One Ocean. To me, there is nothing more impressive than seeing those big wales jump out of the water, turn somersaults and perform the way they do. I was so impressed, I went back to watch the show again.

The picture below, is one of many that I took using the camera's high speed processing. At the speed these whales move, 6 frames a second didn't seem fast enough to capture all the action. Oh well. Below is one of the many I took at One Ocean. If you have a chance to go by Sea World, this is a must see attraction...

Michael,

Looks like you are ready to head to the ocean and see the big boys jump. I have seen grays out here in the pacific it is pretty amazing.

The San Juan Islands have some of the largest resident pods of killer whales in the world and you can see those animals in the wild which is cool also.

But I like the shows also, especially when they launch the handlers, That must be something to be a part of.

Good to know that Sea World is a gentler trip than Universal Studios.  Those plans are in our future too.

I went to Sea World in the fall of 09 and saw that show. I did not get a good a shot as yours, but did get a few decent ones of the whales.

Nice pic, Michael! One of the best things about SeaWorld is seeing the reaction of people when they realize they've unknowingly sat in the Splash Zone.

The process of training these whales to do the summersaults fascinates me, Michael...
