And bravo for thinking outside the box and nabbing a big name and popular comedian to perform.

(1/30/14) SeaWorld Orlando best rate in car rentals florida has announced their first two big-name concerts coming this weekend to open the Bands, Brew and BBQ event at the park: While I m not familiar with Alan Jackson as Country Music is not my thing, nabbing a major name like Kid Rock is quite impressive.

(1/22/14) According to the Orlando Sentinel OSHA is now conducting their own investigation into the history of their very own investigator, Lara Padgett and her likely connections best rate in car rentals florida to the makers of Blackfish and other possible animal best rate in car rentals florida rights best rate in car rentals florida members.
According to the article, SeaWorld is aware of Padgett s affiliations and issued the following quote: As we ve said all along, the film is misleading, inaccurate and agenda-driven. To build its anti-captivity narrative, it relies on the accounts of people who are animal activists, and are anything but objective in their point of view, SeaWorld said. Ms. Padgett appears to be one of them. While we have been aware of this association, because our OSHA case is still pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals, it would not be appropriate best rate in car rentals florida for us to comment further.
(1/21/14) In a development I find completely shocking, the latest MiceChat posting has uncovered a whopper. Scroll down past all the animal best rate in car rentals florida pictures towards the bottom of the update and they have uncovered two different pictures of the cast of Blackfish that include a very special VIP in the group who they have identified as Lara Padgett. As in Lara Padgett, the lead OSHA Investigator charged with running the whole SeaWorld Orlando investigation. Lara Padgett was also involved with the appeals hearings and has testified on behalf of OSHA in the hearings against SeaWorld. And she did all this while somehow moonlighting to attend the Sundance, New York and Sarasota premiers of Blackfish along with the film s Director and other cast members.
best rate in car rentals florida Not only does SeaWorld s legal team need to jump on this, but OSHA really needs to check themselves as well, as their impartial best rate in car rentals florida investigator seems to have developed best rate in car rentals florida a close alliance, perhaps even sharing a professional agenda, with those who would love to see SeaWorld shut down. In short, I would think this would put every bit of evidence, every report and every testimony from OSHA entered thus far on the matter best rate in car rentals florida under careful re-examination best rate in car rentals florida with a microscope. If nothing else, Lara Padgett needs to be removed from this investigation due to a possible conflict of interest.
On a semi-related note, SeaWorld has launched their own new webpage featuring SeaWorld trainers from the present and past, who have come forward best rate in car rentals florida and on camera to tell the Truth About Blackfish , and why it is a piece of propaganda and not a documentary. Read it, watch the videos and learn the truth.

(1/16/14) So did Trace Adkins really cancel his SeaWorld concert because of Blackfish as CNN reported, or was there another issue entirely?

According to several other articles Trace has long battled best rate in car rentals florida an addiction to the bottle, but had been sober for the past 12 years.
(1/14/14) Apparently the whole Blackfish maelstrom the SeaWorld parks have found themselves in has done nothing to curb the public s desire to visit the parks. According to the pre-announced Q4 results , SeaWorld was not only pleased with their performance, but reported that the Orlando and San Diego parks helped them achieve record setting revenue for the year. The full results announcement will be released in March 2014.
Speaking of Blackfish, another former SeaWorld trainer who was actually used in the film itself, Mark Simmons, has now come forward to say that he regrets his association with the film, but that his first reaction upon seeing the final cut absolutely sickened him. According to Mark, It was masterfully woven with lies and disinformation and just enough truth to convince almost anyone that didn t know better. Worse, not an ounce of the counterpoints I provided for the film were used. In fact, what Gabriela used made my position appear congruent to that of the film s claim. I was embarrassed and, to some degree, initially best rate in car rentals florida I was angry.
The complete interview can be read over at MiceChat best rate in car rentals florida and is quite the eye opener, best rate in car rentals florida as Mark openly talks about the other people involved in the film, what tales were told to get him to participate and how he wasn t even allowed access to see the finished film until it was aired on CNN for the world to see. Then he was shocked to find that his 3 hour interview on camera has been trimmed down to almost nothing, altered and his 27 years of experience taken out of context, while Samantha Berg who only has 1 year of time with the whales and absolutely no experience with Tilikum at all, became one of the dominating voices of the finished film. Why? Because the things I said flew in the face of the movie s clear agenda. What I contributed did not support Gabriela or Tim Zimmerman s intent with the film. I worked best rate in car rentals florida with Tilikum, cumulatively, much more than all of the other trainers put together.
Dawn s arm was not swallowed by Tilikum, the story told by Jeff Venture about how he was asked to destroy a video tape of the show, the issue of how baby whales are separated from their mothers and the events leading up to the accident with Dawn. Please do give the interview a read .

(12/23/13) In a long awaited move, SeaWorld finally decided to publish their own response to try and address many of the accusations made against them in the film Blackfish. The letter is titled, SeaWorld: The Truth Is in Our Parks and People and I recommend you read it yourself here, as until now SeaWorld has sat silent, allowing best rate in car rentals florida the supporters of Blackfish speak their mind without rebuttal.
I have also linked to an incredible article written by a former SeaWorld employee which I feel is also very educational, addressing many of the issues at hand, item by item, in a very clear and straight-shooting matter, while still agreeing with the idea that whales best rate in car rentals florida do not belong in captivity best rate in car rentals florida .
