TEENAGERS MEET CHALLENGE FROM POLAR BEARS INTERNATIONAL TO REDUCE C02 IN THEIR COMMUNITIES
SeaWorld San Diego, San Diego Zoo Honor Finalists in Project Polar Bear Contest
April 29, 2011 (SAN DIEGO) Four teams of conservation-minded teens from across the country will gather in San Diego on April 30th for an Awards Ceremony for Project Polar Bear, a national contest hosted by Polar Bears International (PBI), the world’s leading polar bear conservation group. The four teams—from North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—are finalists in a contest that encourages teens to create and carry out projects that reduce carbon emissions.
The Grand Prize team and their advisor will win a trip to Churchill, the polar bear capital of the world, to see polar bears in the wild, but the teens’ passionate commitment to CO2 reductions goes far beyond that. As one of the contestants said, “It doesn’t matter if we win or lose—what we’re doing is so important.”
This year competing teams rallied their communities to prevent more than 30 million pounds of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere. Along the way, they raised awareness about the importance of reducing greenhouse gases to help save polar bear habitat and inspired entire communities to reduce their carbon footprint.
· The AHS Zoo School of North Carolina conducted energy audits to help individuals and businesses cut back on power usage, rewarding participants with donated packs of CFL bulbs.
· The Care Bears of Ohio created a My Actions website that promotes simple CO2-reducing actions and calculates their impact. They collected hundreds of pledges from as far away as Hungary, plus from local residents and 33,000 boy scouts.
· The Earth Club of Wisconsin focused on recycling and planting trees, attracting more than 200 volunteers for a tree-planting day and distributing their distinctive Polar Bearrels (used Coca-Cola barrels turned into recycling bins) around town.
· The Energy Angels of Pennsylvania raised money for CFL light bulb giveways (more than 2,000 total) and energy-saving kits; they also held numerous outreach events to inform and inspire audiences, collect pledges, and distribute bulbs and kits.
“These teens know that the fate of our iconic polar bear is up to each of us,” says PBI President Robert Buchanan. “Their actions and attitudes have already helped reduce carbon emissions and motivate change—and that makes everyone who competed a winner in our book.”
The four finalist teams and their adult advisors earned a trip to San Diego for the Awards Ceremony In recognition of their accomplishments. It will be held at SeaWorld San Diego on April 30, 2011. During the ceremony, PBI will announce the Grand Prize and Second Place winners. Grand Prize is a trip to Churchill to see polar bears. Second Prize is a Beluga Encounter at SeaWorld. All finalists will receive free admission and a VIP Tour at SeaWorld and the San Diego Zoo.
The contest was hosted by PBI, sponsored by Lowepro, and supported by regional zoos and aquariums including the North Carolina Zoo, the Cincinnati Zoo, and the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium. These zoo are part of PBI’s network of Arctic Ambassador Center Zoos, centers that focus on animal well-being and enrichment, take a leadership role in stewardship and carbon-reduction efforts in their communities, and participate in PBI polar bear research efforts. Many also help support polar bear conservation through the PBI Polar Bear Sustainability Alliance.
PBI received dozens of contest entries from across the nation. Registration for the 2011 contest is October 1-31, 2011. To learn more about the contest and to read the blogs of competing teams, visit www.polarbearsinternational/programs/project-polar-bear.

Beneath the Surface:The Making of SeaWorld's New Killer Whale Show "One Ocean"
SeaWorld parks across the United States are counting down the days to the debut of the all-new killer whale show "One Ocean." The show connects guests to the sea with a new level of energy, excitement and vibrancy as it educates and inspires them to make a difference in this world. "One Ocean" opens at SeaWorld Orlando on Earth Day, Friday, April 22; at SeaWorld San Diego on Memorial Day weekend and SeaWorld San Antonio in June.
“One Ocean” features SeaWorld’s majestic killer whales as ambassadors of the sea, and the ocean as the center of our natural world. The message of caring and respect for the world we share is woven throughout the show, encouraging guests to make a difference through everyday actions.
We will post a series of video vignettes now through the grand opening that take you behind the scenes with trainers, producers, designers and educators as they collaborate on every aspect of the new show - from set design, lighting and special effects to costumes and an original symphonic score.
First up is where every creative project starts: the inspiration.

SEAWORLD SAN DIEGO ANNOUNCES NEW ‘MANTA’ COASTER
SAN DIEGO (Feb. 9, 2011) -- SeaWorld San Diego is excited to announce that in 2012, the park will unveil its new launch coaster, Manta — a new mega-attraction that will seamlessly transition guests from the awe of watching rays in underwater flight … into the sensation of actually being one. SeaWorld is scheduled to break ground for Manta within a month and the ride is slated to open to the public in 2012.
Swooping over sea and sky, Manta will not only inspire riders with amazing underwater animal habitats, but take them on an exhilarating ride on a coaster shaped like a giant manta ray.
“We are delighted to bring energizing new attractions to our guests year after year,” said SeaWorld park president, John Reilly, “and Manta does just that, combining the thrill and excitement of a coaster, with the educational and entertaining value of an incredible marine-life exhibit.”
Gliding, flying and diving through more than a dozen twists and turns, riders will feel as if they are a ray, taking flight from sky to sea — so close at times that the Manta’s wings skim the waves.
Manta also will feature a unique “launch station” where the passengers will start the ride enclosed in a launch tunnel with larger-than-life images of rays projected on a 270-degree enveloping screen. This stunning introduction to the world of the rays also will visually enhance the physical acceleration as the ride launches down the track. This state-of-the-art projection system will be the first of its kind in the United States.
Riders and non-riders alike will enjoy the graceful beauty of bat rays and fishes. Forbidden Reef, an existing SeaWorld attraction where guests can feed and touch bat rays, will be incorporated and enhanced as part of Manta.
“With Manta, our guests will be able to see and interact with 65 bat rays, 10 guitar fish, and hundreds of fishes,” said SeaWorld San Diego curator of fishes, Thad Dirksen. “The below-water viewing area will include eight acrylic windows and a reef design. The above-water interaction area will allow our guests more opportunities to touch and feed the rays.”
Manta will be located just north of Rocky Point Preserve. SeaWorld is working with German ride design company MACK, which also engineered the marine-life park’s popular ride, Journey To Atlantis. Guests at SeaWorld’s sister park in Orlando have been enjoying a similar version of Manta since it opened in 2009.
SeaWorld San Diego is open year-round, including holidays. Park admission is $69.99 for ages 10 and older; $61.99 for ages 3–9. For more information visit www.seaworldsandiego.com or call (800) 25-SHAMU.

SeaWorld To Launch NEW KILLER WHALE SHOW: “ One Ocean ”
“One Ocean” features SeaWorld’s majestic killer whales as ambassadors of the sea, and the ocean as the center of our natural world. The show connects guests with these remarkable animals and immerses the audience in the vivid colors and sensations of the underwater world. At the core of the show is the unifying message that both animals and humans are part of one world, with one ocean, and its future is in our hands to cherish and protect.
“One Ocean” is scheduled to premiere at SeaWorld Orlando at the end of April, SeaWorld San Diego on Memorial Day weekend and SeaWorld San Antonio in June. It will replace the popular “Believe,” a show that enjoyed a five-year run in all three SeaWorld parks.
“This new show brings to life SeaWorld’s mission in the most powerful way yet,” said Jim Atchison , President and Chief Executive Officer of SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment. “This show is what guests love about our parks – thrilling entertainment that educates and inspires you to celebrate, connect and care for the world we share.”
The show features spectacular whale behaviors, including thrilling high-energy leaps and multiple whales performing simultaneously. The whales interact in new ways with trainers, the audience, each other, and even the set itself. In one segment, the whales play amid giant fountains.
Shamu Stadium – with its three-story set, panoramic LED screens and hundreds of surround-sound speakers – will feature special effects that envelop guests in the show experience, including brilliantly colored lights; soaring fountains; stunning underwater imagery and an original, contemporary musical score with global rhythms.
But even more important is the educational message the show imparts: we are all part of one world and have the power to make a difference. The message of caring and respect for the world we share is woven throughout the show – encouraging guests to make a difference through their own everyday actions.
“There is an unprecedented level of energy, excitement and passion in this show,” said SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment’s Curator of Animal Training, Julie Scardina. “It is the ultimate SeaWorld experience: world-class entertainment that educates and inspires action. Trainers, producers and educators are collaborating on new ways to connect with the audience and show how closely the human and animal worlds are connected.”

SEAWORLD ANNOUNCES INTERACTIVE SEA TURTLE ATTRACTION FOR SUMMER 2011
Come summer 2011, SeaWorld San Diego is going to the sea turtles! A new attraction called Turtle Reef will allow guests to get an up-close look at more than 60 threatened or endangered sea turtles here in the marine-life park, as well as learn more about the threats sea turtles face in the wild. In addition, it will feature thousands of tropical fish, and a new ride that takes passengers on an exciting rescue mission of their own. SeaWorld broke ground for Turtle Reef in November 2010 and construction is scheduled to be complete in the summer of 2011.
The focal point of Turtle Reef will be a nearly 300,000-gallon aquarium featuring adult Hawksbill and green sea turtles — some more than 50 years old — as well as younger green sea turtles that hatched at SeaWorld in 2009.
“We are thrilled to feature these amazing creatures, some of which are endangered species,” said Thad Dirksen, the park’s curator of fishes. “And our hatchlings are a testament to our stellar husbandry practices and ability to design habitats that allow animals to thrive.”
As guests make their way through Turtle Reef, they will take a journey through the life cycle of sea turtles, learning about where they live, how they nest, what they eat and what threats they face. The total immersive experience also will include a game called Race for the Beach, and a touch screen map, Turtlelink, where guests can learn about sea turtle tracking and SeaWorld’s rescue efforts and conservation. Riptide Rescue, a new ride just outside the aquarium, will spin passengers in boats on a rescue mission of their own.
The new sea turtle attraction will also illustrate how trash and pollution can affect the species, with two cylindrically-shaped aquariums: one with jellyfish and one with trash that can be mistaken for food. This exhibit will help illustrate how sea turtles often confuse trash for food and can die after ingesting these items.
“I think it’s important that our guests can learn that they too can play a role in keeping trash and pollution out of the sea turtles’ ocean environment,” said Dirksen.
SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, a portfolio company of The Blackstone Group (NYSE:BX), operates 10 parks across the U.S., including SeaWorld parks in San Diego, San Antonio and Orlando, Fla.; Busch Gardens parks in Tampa, Fla. and Williamsburg, Va.; Discovery Cove and Aquatica in Orlando; Sesame Place near Philadelphia, Pa.; and water parks Adventure Island in Tampa and Water Country USA in Williamsburg.
The 10 parks play host to 23 million guests each year and employ 20,000 people nationwide. To learn more, visit www.seaworldparksandentertainment.com or call toll-free (888) 800-5447.

SAN DIEGO (April 26, 2010) -- Summer is the perfect time for reconnecting with family and friends and making memories that will last a lifetime. This summer, SeaWorld is rolling out an offer that comes at the perfect time for summer vacations and allows families to make a difference for wildlife conservation.
Through the SeaWorld Cares offer, now through Dec. 31, with each full-paid, SeaWorld single-day, adult admission purchased online, any child age 12 and under gets a $5 admission, all of which goes to fund non-profit organizations that are working right now on wildlife conservation projects.

Complete details are available at http://www.seaworldcares.com/.
“This offer makes it easy for families and friends to reconnect during a vacation, a getaway or even just a day trip to SeaWorld,” said SeaWorld San Diego President Andy Fichthorn. “At SeaWorld, families experience amazing up-close animal connections that can’t be found any place else.

It’s a wonderful way for kids to learn about the work that goes on to save animals in the wild.”
