For more information: SeaWorld Orlando Communications, (407) 363-2280 SEAWORLD LAUNCHES “BELIEVE,” THE MOST AMBITIOUS KILLER WHALE SHOW IN THE PARKS’ HISTORY Orlando, Fla. – SeaWorld parks across the U.S. have unveiled the most ambitious entertainment project in the brand’s 41-year history, a new production called “Believe.” Nearly four years in the making, “Believe” showcases SeaWorld’s majestic killer whales performing awe-inspiring choreography, an elaborate 3-story set including panoramic LED screens and an original musical score written exclusively for this show. From Hollywood to Broadway, SeaWorld’s creative team collaborated with innovative entertainment icons to develop a show that would not only inspire guests’ emotions, but also re-ignite guests’ passions for their own dreams. “Our ultimate goal for this show is to impassion guests to believe in themselves,“ said Dave Goodman, vice- president of entertainment. “We want guests to believe they can accomplish the seemingly impossible, as our trainers do in this show through their relationships with these top predators of the ocean.” A first for SeaWorld, the intense choreography of this extraordinary show creates a breathtaking “killer whale ballet” of grace and agility, as every movement of the powerful whales – each weighing 6,000 to 10,000 pounds -- is matched to the corresponding beat of a stirring, original musical score created exclusively for this show. In fact, SeaWorld’s trainers developed a repertoire of nearly 100 killer whale behaviors, 60 of which will be part of the new show. The centerpiece of the new set design is a 3-story tail fluke flanked by four, 20-foot-wide LED screens which operate independently and also move together to create a single, 80-foot-long panoramic screen. These screens provide guests at Shamu Stadium with views of the whales from above- and below-water cameras, including, for the first time, a camera suspended directly over the main show pool. The audio system for “Believe” is the most sophisticated ever constructed for a SeaWorld show. The design creates soundscapes for “Believe” that rival any show or concert experience, with nearly 100 speakers throughout the stadium. Guests will experience the original musical score which was performed by the Prague National Symphony Orchestra in a truly surround-sound experience. --more-- Page 2 – SeaWorld Launches “Believe” Continuing the Revolution: “Believe” continues the revolution which began last year with “Blue Horizons” – an entirely new breed of dolphin show. This theatrical spectacular was breakthrough in that it combined visions of Broadway with majestic animals, spirited performers and exotic birds. To create this dynamic show, SeaWorld collaborated with Broadway’s most inventive experts and married theatrical extravagance -- seen in the larger-than-life set and dramatic costuming -- with amazing animal behaviors. In addition to SeaWorld, BEC operates Busch Gardens parks in Tampa, Fla. and Williamsburg, Va.; Discovery Cove in Orlando; Sesame Place in Langhorne, Pa. near Philadelphia; and water parks Adventure Island in Tampa and Water Country USA in Williamsburg. BEC and its parks employ nearly 20,000 people nationwide. -- SeaWorld -- For more information: SeaWorld Orlando Communications, (407) 363-2280 SEAWORLD ORLANDO UNVEILS PARK’S FIRST “FAMILY–FRIENDLY” RIDES “Shamu Express” Roller Coaster Thrills Parents and Children Alike ORLANDO, Fla. – SeaWorld Orlando has taken flight with the “Shamu Express” – the park’s first family-oriented roller coaster. Themed after SeaWorld’s famous killer whale, the “Shamu Express” will gently thrill 28 children and parents in killer whale-themed cars down more than 850 feet of track at 26 mph. Two more brand new “kid-friendly” additions include a jellyfish-themed samba tower ride and a waterspout-themed tea cup ride. “Jazzy Jellies” will lift and spin families in jellyfish-themed seats while “Swishy Fishies” will enable adventurous youngsters to sit in themed seats while they spin around a giant waterspout. “This expansion adds even more thrills for our youngest guests, who may be riding a roller coaster for the first time” said Jim Atchison, executive vice president and general manager of SeaWorld Orlando and Discovery Cove. “To further the family experience, parents can also ride with their children.” Currently, Shamu’s Happy Harbor is a three-acre children’s play area that offers SeaWorld’s littlest guests four stories of colorful climbing nets and tunnels, nine slippery slides and a splashy water maze. SeaWorld Orlando is the world’s premier marine adventure park with 200 acres of world-class shows, thrilling rides and unforgettable animal encounters. Millions of visitors have explored the mysteries of the sea with up-close animal interactions and exhilarating experiences. State-of-the-art rides give guests unprecedented thrills, while amazing animal encounters include killer whales, dolphins, sea lions, sharks and more. -- SeaWorld -- For more information: SeaWorld Orlando Communications, (407) 363-2280 A LOOK INSIDE THE POWER OF “BELIEVE” OVERVIEW: From Hollywood to Broadway, “Believe” is an extraordinary production that will inspire guests to believe in themselves by blending new killer whale behaviors with elaborate set pieces, music, choreography and state-of-the-art multimedia. SET DESIGN: The centerpiece of the “Believe” set is the world’s largest whale tail. At 80-feet- wide and three stories tall, the tail is overlaid with images of Shamu and is set off by large, moving screens on either side. To create the screen movers (see Video Technology), a 12-foot high bridge was added that spans the width of the stadium. The bridge was built by Oceaneering Entertainment Services, Inc., specialists in submersibles designed to be used in and around saltwater. To create “spotlights” that can be seen during the day in the open air of Shamu Stadium, producers and set designers of “Believe” incorporated water fountains as visual cues to guests to highlight the whales’ behaviors. The traditional “slideovers” that the killer whales use to enter and exit the main pool during shows are enhanced with waterfalls giving the whales a more dramatic entrance to the show.

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.

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.
