Reporter sea worlds iconic shamoo show is no more. This weekend the San Diego Park debuting a new educational show called orca encounter which will replace what was one of its biggest attractions. It includes a film about the animals behavior. While they do breach and splash the audience, sea world says tricks are not the focus. Trainers no longer ride or swim with the killer whales. Its so important to educate people about these animals. Otherwise theyre not going to care to want to protects them. Reporter but so far sea worlds new show is getting mixed reviews. Some call it informative and poignant, others calling it boring saying it features little action using the orcas. Its the latest change at sea world. The park announcing last year it would no longer breed orcas following the protest. Following years of declining revenue, negative attendance and publicity due in part to the 2013 documentary black fish. It took a critical look at whales in captivity, specifically involved in three deaths including a trainer in 2010. That films director believes sea world has made some progress, but not enough. They are still swimming around in concrete tanks. My overall hope would be that sea world would just kind of embrace the opportunity to truly evolve and to retire these whales into sea side sanctuaries. Reporter this new educational presentation is part of a biggest exhibition launch in sea world history. Alex stone, abc news, los angeles.
