The celebration will also feature park pathways with spontaneous entertainment at each park; new shows allowing guests to celebrate the longer park hours starting this summer; Shamu’s Celebration: Light Up the Night, debuting at all three parks, including SeaWorld Orlando; and a new ski show debuting at SeaWorld San Antonio this summer.
