Tilikum or "Big" Shamu...

[Nellas Elensar]

Hi...

I visited Sea World this past Thursday and saw Believe. During the show, I was very disappointed that Tilikum (the huge male whale) was not performing. Is anyone familiar with the whereabouts of this particular whale? Has he been transferred to another Sea World? Has he died? Has he retired?

I don't know their names but there sure was one huge whale w/ a big tail splashing people during the 'shamu shamu' part of the show. This was last Sunday.5/20

Tilikum is still there. He does not perform in every show anymore. I'm not sure how they set it up schedule wise. I have seen him in the earlier shows but dont recall seeing him during Believe.

All the shows are Beileve except the new night show. Shamu Rocks. Which he was part of last night (opening night).

what was he old night show called 'Shamu Rocks America'??? i cant remeber, is the new show much different from the old one?

The old nighttime Shamu show was called many things, but "Shamu Rocks America" was one of the many titles it did have. One year, it was called "Shamu's Big Chill". I believe that the new nighttime show is way different from the old "Shamu Rocks America". Does anyone have a video of it that they can post online?
