  • Seaworld Orlando in Florida
    SeaWorld Orlando in Florida SeaWorld is a very popular theme park and marine-life zoo in Orlando, Florida. The park hosts many educational programs, shows, exhibitions and other fun experiences, making it immensely popular with families, teachers and students. This 200-acres marine life theme park, is filled with aquatic fun and thrilling adventures. This park is currently being operated and managed by the Sea World Parks and Entertainment, a subsidiary of the Blackstone Group. The smashing success of the first SeaWorld Park prompted the founders to open another park at a different location; the SeaWorld Park at Ohio was opened in 1968, and was soon followed by the establishment of the SeaWorld, Orlando in the year 1973. Orlando was selected as an ideal location due to its pleasant climate almost all through the year. Also, with the opening of the Walt Disney parks, a large number of visitors were already visiting the city. SeaWorld in Orlando, unlike other theme parks has a refreshing landscape, with no broken up themed islands in the park. The main landscaping feature of the park is its pathways with animal enclosures on either side. The main entrance to the park is decorated with lush tropical landscaping, which has a Florida-based theme, a huge artificial freshwater marina, and an iconic lighthouse based on a Shamu theme. The neighboring park, Discovery Cove, along with the SeaWorld, forms a greater entertainment area, which is an ideal destination for vacationers. SeaWorld, Orlando, offers many shows, exhibitions, rides, and park experiences. Live shows, animal exhibits, and the 3D computer animated films at the Theater Dome promise the visitors a great time.

Gunnin Stone, Esquire Constangy, Brooks & Smith, LLC, Atlanta, Georgia For Respondent Karen C. Dyer, Esquire and Jon L. Mills, Esquire Boies, Schiller & Flexner, LLP, Orlando, Florida For Intervenor Before: Administrative Law Judge Ken S. Welsch DECISION AND ORDER SeaWorld of Florida, LLC, is a marine animal theme park in Orlando, Florida. Although it features several different species of animals, killer whales are SeaWorld’s signature attraction. The killer whales perform in shows before audiences at Shamu Stadium. On February 24, 2010, SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau was interacting with Tilikum, a 29 year-old male killer whale, in a pool at Shamu Stadium. Ms. Brancheau reclined on a platform located just a few inches below the surface of the water. Tilikum was supposed to mimic her behavior by rolling over onto his back. Instead, Tilikum grabbed Ms. Brancheau and pulled her off the platform and into the pool. Ms. Brancheau died as a result of Tilikum’s actions. 1 In response to media reports of Ms. Brancheau’s death, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliance officer Lara Padgett conducted an inspection of SeaWorld. Based on Ms. Padgett’s inspection, the Secretary issued three citations to SeaWorld on August 23, 2010.

  • Seaworld in San Diego, California
    Seaworld in San Diego, California Watch Dolphins play at the SeaWorld in San Diego, CA With roller coasters, water rides, and animal exhibits, SeaWorld is a popular destination for families to spend the day in San Diego, California. Various attractions at SeaWorld makes it one of the top visited destinations in the world. The Bayside Skyride, a six-minute gondola ride takes you over part of Mission Bay on two 80-foot (24m) towers, and lands on the other side. The distance between these two towers is the longest out of any VonRoll Skyride ever built. The SeaWorld Sky Tower was built in 1969. The ride rises at a speed of 150 feet per minute (46 m/min) while gyrating slowly (1.02 rpm) on the 320-foot tower to offer panoramic views of San Diego and the bay near the park. The Journey to Atlantis attraction is a flume ride and roller coaster themed ride reminiscing the lost city of Atlantis. This ride makes you experience butterflies in your stomach. The ride exits in a large marine museum that houses Leopard sharks, Spotted eagle rays, Cownose rays and Southern stingrays. The park’s raft ride, called Shipwreck Rapids, takes riders through the wild turtle exhibit and right through a waterfall, while Manta is SeaWorld’s biggest thrill ride. Sesame Street's Bay of Play area is based upon the children's television series 'Sesame Street.' There are three interesting rides in this area: Abby's Seastar Spin, Elmo's Flying Fish and Oscar's Rockin' Eel. At the Turtle Reef you can see over 60 turtles along with fishes in an oceanarium.
