SeaWorld Orlando’s TurtleTrek opens this Friday! And starting tomorrow, SeaWorld Orlando’s newest attraction will be making waves in the news. Be sure to tune into ABC’s Good Morning America tomorrow, April 25 to see world renowned animal expert Jack Hanna broadcasting LIVE underwater surrounded by dozens of sea turtles in TurtleTrek’s turtle habitat. He’ll be joined in the exhibit by weathercaster and host of the new Sea Rescue show, Sam Champion, and will be sharing information about turtles and more details about the amazing new attraction.

The SeaWorld San Diego Skytower just had a little work done! The 320-foot tower was recently painted, which means the SeaWorld logo on top also needed to be replaced. So how exactly does our team get a logo way up on the top of that tower? Thanks to the GoPro camera, we are going to show exactly how they do that. Our lucky team of three scenic craftspeople started before the sun even came up and placed not just one but two logos on the Skytower. Caution, if you are scared of heights, you may want to make sure you are sitting down for this:

Manta is really starting to take shape! Every time I am out there, I notice more and more subtle differences.

CUTE ANIMAL SIGHTING: Opening later this spring at Discovery Cove is Freshwater Oasis. Here’s a closer look at one of the species that you’ll actually be able to see – the “too cute for words” marmoset. Take a peek and learn more about this species of monkey, where they’re from, what they eat, and some exciting new details about the rainforest-like habitat we’re creating for them at Discovery Cove.

Anytime my mom comes to SeaWorld, she is usually more interested in the flowers and landscaping than anything else. She’s pretty spot-on to notice that we have an amazing landscaping department. Most of the team goes unseen as they arrive early every day and leave just after most of us even take a lunch break.

Today (March 17, 2012) is the one-year anniversary of Clover, a female southern sea otter. Clover's story began in late 2010 when she was rescued and brought to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. At that time, Clover was a young, wild otter that stranded due to illness. Veterinarians examined and treated her for several months and deemed her unable to return to the ocean, due to her need for long term care. Clover arrived at SeaWorld San Diego at about 5 months old on St. Patrick's Day, hence the name Clover.

We are booked!! The Entertainment Production team has booked all of the music acts for our Viva La Musica concert series. Concerts will be at Cirque Stadium once again this year.

So, here’s the official line-up:

After just four months of hard work, a bunch of crane lifting and several hundred nuts and bolts, all 98 sections of track are now in place for our Manta coaster!

Here is a photo of me with the very first piece of track…..It seems like this was installed just yesterday.

This is the last weekend of Bands, Brew & BBQ at SeaWorld Orlando, and they say we've saved the best for last! Put on your dancing shoes and get ready to slide to the beat while enjoying this amazing festival.
