Claims in the movie – which the company denies – inspired a recent state Coastal Commission decision to force the company to slowly phase out its killer whale program as a condition for obtaining permits for larger orca enclosures. In 2013, SeaWorld paid the city about $14 million, money that was funneled toward day-to-day operating needs and improvements at city parks. Lease records show the company forked over only $11.7 million last year and that its rent payments in the first eight months of this year were down another 9 per- cent from the same period in 2014. Attendance slid downward last year, too. A city spokesman said SeaWorld San Diego reported about 3.8 million visitors in 2014, about a 17 percent drop from the previous two years. That decrease is steeper than the one estimated in an annual report released earlier this year by the nonprofit Themed Entertainment Association and AECOM, an economic consulting firm. The report found SeaWorld San Diego saw a 12 percent drop in attendance from 2013 to 2014, while its sister park in Orlando saw an 8 percent drop.
