    Most of the right side of the “parking lot” is a public boat launch and RV Park/Dump location not related to SeaWorld. Another part of it is walled off facility storage (it has shipping containers) and SeaWorld company vehicle parking.

    Everything to the left of the SeaWorld is unrelated parking for other businesses (one of them being a SeaWorld corporate building) and a marina.

    Still a shitload of parking, but a very very misleading Facebook or whatever bullshit post

      I expect this to get a lot of negative input, but the Orca’s free roam space is actually 3x the size they’ve highlighted. And granted, it’s really small compared to the oceans of the world, but someone’s purposely lying, and to make the point they don’t even need to. Just had to try to get the multiplier to move a tiny bit more, like that would be the sway point.

      Still not sure what people expect SeaWorld to do with the orcas they currently have. Should they all be shot? Is that better for the orcas? They would starve to death if released.

        I don’t think a habitat three times the size of a dot is going to look much better compared to the parking lot. Or, you know, the ocean.

          What always looks good is the full truth. Lying about small stuff means you cannot be trust with important stuff.

      I think i said this on some other post from my alt account and got downvotes to oblivion. I’m glad hivemind today is up voting facts.

        “We have elected to stop tormenting one specific species of animals. Please pat our corporate heads.” Fuck zoos and aquariums.

            Are you asking… If an Aquarium have other live animals? What else would they have? Did you mean mammals?

              My understanding was that SeaWorld has been pivoting from aquarium to theme park for a while now.

              But also yeah it’s far less of a big deal to keep fish in captivity as long as it’s done by Marine biologists.
