Welcome back everyone to episode 2 of the Unofficial SeaWorld Podcast – plus a mini photo update on the park. Yesterday, we posted a tour of the Antarctica construction site. If you missed it, the link is HERE.  We’ve made some changes to the podcast based upon your comments and hope you enjoy what we’ve put together for you.

This month, we have some information to update you on as well as some new rumors that have surfaced. That includes information about new shows possibly coming to the parks, changes to existing shows, and more. Eric and Mike also discuss the controversial Blackfish film, made famous by its debut in this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

Additionally, in this month’s podcast we have a very special announcement concerning the construction of SeaWorld Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin!

ATLANTIS BATHROOMS

The bathrooms that used to be loosely themed to the former Penguin Encounter have now “moved” lands, as they are now the Atlantis restrooms and will not be part of Antarctica.  With the change, they are receiving a new Mediterranean look.
