"Blame Harry Potter for some of SeaWorld's problems. The company said the young wizard attraction at Universal Studios Florida is luring a lot of visitors away from SeaWorld. The fact that many school years were extended because of all the snow cancellations also had an impact."


I love the spin on this. haha. If you can read between the lines... this is really what this says..

"We are seeing declining revenue based on dwindling crowds. Our research seems to indicate a trend in the genreral public. One of growing awarenes to our slavery and torture"

 

its a mix. The Harry Potter park CLEARLY hurt Sea World Orlando but the Orca thing hurt Dan Diego. You are also spinning the reasoning.

 

Fly a banner for free Orcas!

 

They got a bad rap for the orcas, but SeaWorld does a lot of conservation work with other species. They aren't all bad.

 

I can't imagine being an animal of that size and being stuck in a tank that small

 

I remember going to seaworld as a kid. Back then they weren't as carefull about locking off the pools to the public between shows. I walked right in to the dolphin pool and stood at the edge with my arms hanging into the water. To my surprise a dolphin swam buy and gently brushed my hand. A second later he rolled on his side just out of reach and looked at me for a few seconds. Ever since I felt bad for those animals. They are clearly sentient beings fully aware that they are trapped. A few years ago I got talked into going there on a trip to disney. The best part of that visit was the cat show. Absolutely hysterically bad, just a bunch of cats running across the stage, and walking on planks elevated above the floor from one trap door to another. He whole time there was this discordant music laced with canned meows, purrs and growls, classic.

 

I was lucky. The first time I saw orcas was the j pod in Seattle when I was 5 or 6. Ever since then I've had no interest in going to sea world.

 

Yeah pumpy, I didn't claim to do any research on the actual financial situation or the EXACT reasoning. My post was clearly a sarcastic opinion.

 

an optimistic one at that

 

I actually made a some cash on this whole fiasco, though it seems like i should have waited longer. After I watched Black Fish, I shorted Sea World stock. Would have been nice if I waited for that 33% drop...

Wow, this stock is super volatile right now. I know what I'm gonna be doing for the rest of the day

 

Driving your Beemer, checking your Rolex, tradin' stocks, bangn' Hindus & an evening bench off to wrap the day properly.

 

I watch their fireworks every night at 8:50 from my balcony.

 

I worked for Marineland of the Pacific during the summer of '78 during my college years. It's been gone for quite awhile. At first it was sort of neat and interesting working there. But after awhile, I had mixed emotions. I felt sorry for the Orcas, pilot whales and dolphins cooped up in those tanks.

 

I used to live in the Mission Bay area in '84, my final year in the Navy. Enjoyed it there. Was on the USS Constellation homeported at NAS North Island. Used to windsurf on the bay. Passed by Seaworld quite often. That summer, I saw the torchbearer for the L.A. Olympics run past our apartments. Quite a crowd lining the street.

 

Dude has to say he shorted it last year before the drop; a claim now that he had the prescience to short sea world after the drop is never taken as true by traders. It's like, yeah......sure you did.....

In the meantime: FUKKKKKKKKKKKK SEA WORLD

I hope they drop off the planet. They are torturers & disgusting humans who profit from misery.

Do you know who owns Torture World? Blackstone, that's who. Right down there with Goldman Sachs as disgusting samples of human slime, true vampire squids upon the face of humanity.

The animals in there are suffering. Those are cetaceans. Pretty damn close to humans in brain spindles. But, hey, the way humans treat other humans it's no wonder these sick fukkks at Blackstone operate torture chambers for the pleasure of moron humans.

SEA WORLD NEEDS TO GO AWAY
