NEW YEAR’S EVE FIREWORKS: SeaWorld plans to ring in 2011 with a special fireworks show on New Year’s Eve.
Immediately following the “Shamu’s Christmas” show at approximately 7:50 p.m. on Dec. 31, a five-minute fireworks display will light up the skies over Mission Bay.
‘BLUE HORIZONS’ RECEIVES BRASS RING AWARD: The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) awarded SeaWorld San Diego’s “Blue Horizons” show with the Brass Ring award for best production in 2010. The awards ceremony is the attractions’ industry version of the Oscars and is designed to honor the best in marketing, live entertainment, human resources and retail.
“Blue Horizons,” which opened in May 2010, centers on Marina, a young girl whose vivid imagination sets the stage for an extravaganza of graceful dolphins, magnificent pilot whales and a rainbow of exotic birds. “Blue Horizons” features action both above and under the water, as a cast of divers and aerialists, dressed in eye-catching costumes symbolizing sea and sky, plunge off the elaborate set into, and also propel out of, the deep blue water.
