Kinda sad to hear about the Killer Whale thing. I can understand them stopping shows, but also stopping breading whales is a bit of an overkill. It would still be very cool just to see them in person. Certainly would be a whale of a time. At least they will keep the whales for guests to see while they are still alive. The name for San Antonio’s new coaster sounds kinda silly. |

I agree Stopping the shows is a shame. I also don't know id they are going to invest in the new habitats. if they are not breeding they will be out of whales in about 20 some odd years and then have no need for those giant habitats. but if they build them they should breed the whales keep them around and allow guests to view them for years to come. I agree the name of the new coaster is silly. At least they are adding a signature coaster. The skido themed cars look fun |
