I was also considering a SoCal pass, but it still may not be worth it because of parking and too many blackouts (they've increased the number of those in past years, too)

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I also didn't care for all the shows you had to try and coordinate the right times for, and the one show we did go to, I felt like I was abusing my kids for keeping them in the direct HOT sun for so long. No cover for Southern California? Okayyyyyyy.

Bottom line is I don't like Sea World and wouldn't go if I lived next door to the place. If it's your thing then fine, but I couldn't care less about whales and dolphins.

I was merely offering up an observation, just like you. I've said nothing about my opinion about Sea World, etc., just that people could say the same things about DL that you have about the other places. That's all.

It looks different than the one in Orlando, but I'm OK with that because lying on my stomach on roller coasters is uncomfortable (and the ride photo is hideous). I'm looking forward to trying it this summer.

Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt “I just can't help picturing Hans at SeaWorld banging on the glass and throwing dangerous objects in the water at the whales and dolphins.” LOL. Oh no, I love animals and would never try to harm them. I ‘m just not all that entertained by them. Imagine me watching Shamu with a big yawn and checking my Facebook status. “Dr. Hans Reinhardt has turned into Captain Ahab right before our eyes. I bet he doesn't even choose dolphin-safe tuna.” Why should I? Dolphins ought to look where they’re swimming. jk

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance Hans, I'd expect a knock on the door from PETA anytime now. Probably some naked female model or actress. I think they only hire women, somewhat famous, who willing to take their close off.

Imagine me watching Shamu with a big yawn and checking my Facebook status." Last time i went to Sea World i was entertained mostly by the people. Before the show everyone was Chanting and screaming "Shamu Shamu Shamu" It really was like a scary cult! I understand that once you have gone that it becomes a little boring. The only experience that i would repeat was visiting the Sandiego wild life zoo and doing the safari tour. It was the coolest thing being able to feed a Rhino and a Giraffe.
Originally Posted By fkurucz "The only experience that i would repeat was visiting the Sandiego wild life zoo" I think you meant the Wild Animal Park. When we lived in San Diego we had a membership in the SD Zoological Society. We lived not too far from the Wild Animal Park and our children were small at the time and my wife would take them there frequently. I heard that the old "monorail" is gone now, which I think is a real shame.
