  • Seaworld San Antonio Joins Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network in the Successful Rescue of a Young Dolphin
    Video Assets: https://www.webcargo.net/d/11784203/1qUCzcBIdj/ Photo Assets: https://www.webcargo.net/d/11784256/pIzPpyr2O2/ SeaWorld San Antonio Joins Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network in the Successful Rescue of a Young Dolphin PORT ARANSAS/SAN ANTONIO (May 12, 2017) – The Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network (TMMSN), assisted by SeaWorld San Antonio’s Rescue Team, successfully rescued and released a young dolphin found stranded in shallow water in Lighthouse Lakes near Port Aransas, TX. TMMSN Executive Director Heidi Whitehead said, “With the help of SeaWorld’s rescue team we were successfully able to reach the dolphin and bring it onboard the rescue boat for a medical assessment. Working with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) it was determined the dolphin was in good body condition to be released. We then tagged the animal so we can continue to track its well-being. The dolphin was then relocated to deeper water near the Aransas Channel.” It is believed the dolphin became stranded during a recent extreme high tide. After being spotted by a local fisherman in the same place for several days TMMSN was called in to help the animal. “This is a true success story,” added Whitehead. “Thanks to the combined efforts of our alert citizenry coupled with the expertise of SeaWorld’s Rescue Team and our tireless TMMSN Critical Care Team, we were able to help this dolphin. The green tag we placed on the dolphin’s dorsal fin will enable the public to report sightings of the marine mammal so we can track its progress and ensure its wellbeing.” Each year up to 150 marine mammals can be found stranded or injured along the Texas coast.

  • Seaworld San Antonio Selected As Home for Rescued Beluga Whale Calf
    SeaWorld San Antonio Selected as Home for Rescued Beluga Whale Calf Endangered beluga calf given a second chance at life Hi-res photos of Tyonek are available for download here. Orlando, Fla. (February 12, 2018) – NOAA Fisheries has selected SeaWorld San Antonio as the new home for “Tyonek”, the first-ever beluga whale from Cook Inlet, Alaska to be successfully rescued and rehabilitated after he was found stranded in September 2017. NOAA made the announcement late last week. “We are proud to play our part in Tyonek’s continued care, alongside the federal government and others who have helped since his rescue,” said SeaWorld Chief Zoological Officer Dr. Chris Dold. “Experts from across North America came together to give Tyonek a second chance at life, and this is the culmination of those countless hours of care from passionate and dedicated people.” According to NOAA Fisheries, SeaWorld was selected because it was the “location best suited for Tyonek to thrive.” The federal agency based its decision largely on the facility’s ability to accommodate his social and medical needs, support all necessary transport and contribute to scientific research on the species to help conservation efforts in the wild. Additionally, SeaWorld San Antonio currently supports a population of 9 beluga whales, including both adult females and young male beluga calves that will be important for Tyonek’s social development. NOAA Fisheries said in a blog statement, “The permanent placement of Tyonek at SeaWorld San Antonio—and the scientific knowledge gained by learning from him for years to come—will benefit Cook Inlet beluga research and recovery.” Tyonek was less than a month old when he was found stranded in Cook Inlet, Alaska.

  • Emperor, California's Tallest, Fastest, And
    EMPEROR, CALIFORNIA’S TALLEST, FASTEST, AND LONGEST DIVE COASTER, TO OPEN MARCH 2022 AT SEAWORLD SAN DIEGO Emperor will be California’s first and only floorless dive coaster LINK TO VIDEO AND IMAGE HERE SAN DIEGO, CA (August 25, 2021) –SeaWorld San Diego is excited to announce the opening of the highly anticipated dive coaster, Emperor, in March 2022. Joining other thrill rides at the park, Emperor will be the tallest, fastest, and longest dive coaster in California, as well as the only floorless dive coaster in the state. Named after the world’s largest penguin, the new coaster will mimic this species’ amazing underwater diving ability. Climbing to 153 feet with feet dangling in the air, riders will be suspended on a 45-degree angle at the crown of the ride before plunging down a 143-foot facedown vertical drop, accelerating to more than 60 miles per hour. Riders will also experience inversions, barrel roll, Immelmann loop, hammerhead turn and flat spin as they race along the nearly 2,500 feet of track. Each of the floorless ride cars will hold 18 riders in three, six-person rows. This is the first seating configuration of its kind in North America. “Our fans are eager to ride Emperor and we’re grateful for their enthusiasm and excitement to jump on this adrenaline-pumping dive coaster. Due to the unprecedented challenges of the last two years, the opening was delayed, we know this has been disappointing and we’d like to thank our guests for their patience for this long-awaited ride to open,” said John Dunlap, SeaWorld San Diego Park President.
