A wet day at Seaworld

A rather grey day dawned and although the temperatures were still around 30 degrees when I arrived at Seaworld,  there was little sign of the sun to cheer up the view over the lake.

It was soon raining very hard and I headed for the Shamu Stadium to watch the extraordinarily beautiful killer whales being put through their paces..

The front twenty-five or so rows of seating were labelled the 'soak' zone and warnings were issued about just how wet it could get - but there was still a collective sharp intake of breath as the whales jumped and splashed and hundreds of gallons of cold sea water sloshed into the crowd..

This was not the only opportunity to get soaked through..

These rather small children were on a Seaworld 'camp' and were led through the rainstorm (albeit warm rain) singing rousing marching songs at the tops of their voices!

On the 'Manta' roller coaster ride (no I didn't) the fearless (but screaming) riders were also pretty wet.

Some of the residents of SeaWorld seemed to be just resigned to the weather..
