Schedule SAY WHAT??

[MrDDuck]

Good afternoon all,

I'm off to SW Tuesday 13th July and Monday 19th July

On checking the schedules about a week ago, it was fairly typical; 4 Believes, 5 Blue Horizons, 2 Shamu Rocks, 2 Sealions Tonite etc

On checking today, it has been horrendously updated. Now the first Believe show of the day is not until 12.30pm (madness for July!), there is only one performance of Shamu Rocks at 8.30pm (How they plan on condensing around a stadium and a half of guests into just one performance remains to be seen) and one Sealions Tonite at 7.15pm (same problem as Shamu Rocks I anticipate) To top it all off, Reflections is now at 9.30pm not 9.50pm.

I'm guessing SW has made these adjustments in relation to expected crowd numbers but it still seems awfully strange!

Anyone been recently/there right now that can give us more of an insight into if these reductions are justified and what effect they are having on guest traffic and stadium capacities??

Cheers.

We were just there last week and went to Shamu Rocks two nights. My best guess is that there is just not the crowd to justify a second later show. Both times we were there the stadium was maybe 1/3 full. In fact Sunday (June 27) was so empty that they canceled the fireworks afterwards. (That was the reason we were given anyway.)

We showed up 20 minutes before the show Sunday and sat 15ft. from the middle stage/platform, and Tuesday night we came in 5 minutes before show and were still able to get splash zone seats. I'm going to guess this isn't normal.

From what we were told by staff, crowds have been very low this season overall. Hope this helps some.
