1985 VHS • Sea World 60 FPS

About

Sea World is a promotional souvenir video produced by Sea World Florida for visitors to take home as a memento of their visit. The tape opens with a welcome narration inviting viewers to relive highlights of their day at Sea World, and proceeds through segments on the park's major attractions and animal care programs. Featured segments include the New Friends multi-species show, Shamu's Celebration killer whale performance, and a Shamu Stadium training segment in which trainer Ted Turner and a killer whale develop the rocket ride behavior through a series of approximations, with trainer narration explaining the positive reinforcement process step by step.

Animal care segments cover Sea World's shark encounter exhibit and a behind-the-scenes shark feeding, the manatee rehabilitation program including the story of E.T. the manatee who was rescued from a crab pot line and later released, and the hatching and release of endangered sea turtles. Entertainment segments include Undersea Fantasy featuring Opie Otter and Sir Winston Walrus, and a water ski show. A final segment covers the September 1985 birth of Baby Shamu, the first killer whale calf to survive more than a few weeks in an oceanarium.
