Orca Encounter WITH NEW STAGING!!! [March 10th, 2024]

Decided to take a trip to SeaWorld and visit the whales... specifically the new stage that I was constantly wanting updates about! This was the whales' 5th Day exploring the main pool even though they have performed it for majority of their lives! The new colors and stage set up threw some whales off a loop (especially Malia apparently!) but, nevertheless, it was amazing to see them perform again as well as getting to experience them interacting with the main pool for the first time in more than 2 months. Shoutout to Trainer Nick for giving great insight on what was happening as the whales continued to get acclimated with their new environment. Getting to cheer the whales on was the highlight of this visit!
I also took the opportunity to bring my professional camera and do some filming and photos to see how they turn out. Man! I love the new background which has a beautiful natural theme to it! They did an amazing job with the staging! I am going to leave some of the top highlights from today! Can't wait to potentially see some of these clips in edits real soon! Who knows... maybe I will do it in the future lol! But anyways, ENJOY!:D
