This summer, SeaWorld San Antonio presents Electric Ocean, the park’s nighttime offering. A highlight of Electric Ocean is an ALL-NEW drone show debuting Friday, May 22.
“We are ready to deliver one of our best summers ever as we bring unique, high-energy experiences that extend the fun well into the night,” said Jeff Davis, SeaWorld San Antonio president. “With our first ever drone show, animal presentations, waterski stunt show and ocean parade, guests will have so many fun-filled reasons to visit.”
Two nighttime animal experiences
Beginning May 22, this summer includes two nighttime animal presentations:
- Shamu’s Celebration: Light Up the Night features lighting, music and high-energy choreography that celebrates the power and beauty of killer whales in a festival-style atmosphere.
- Sea Lions Tonite! brings laughs, personality, and fast-paced comedy as SeaWorld’s sea lions take center stage with all-new surprises.
Ocean Parade
Adding to the Electric Ocean celebration is the RhythMotion Ocean Parade, a high-energy procession of floats, dancers, and characters, all set to an original soundtrack. This immersive parade invites guests to dance along as it winds through the park.
Waterski stunt show
Returning is the award-winning waterski stunt show, Hydropower: Xtreme FX. Honored with the IAAPA Brass Ring Award for Most Creative Sports/Stunt Show, this spectacle blends live music, high-flying water stunts, pyrotechnics, lasers, and excitement for a high-adrenaline experience. Guests can experience this extravaganza from June 12 through August 2.
First ever drone show
Guests will be treated to the SeaWorld Illuminight Drone Finale, an aerial display that transforms the night sky into a canvas of light and motion. Featuring a fleet of 400 synchronized drones and a soaring soundtrack, this show creates shapes and animations above the park, all inspired by marine life.
The aerial formations and lighting effects will highlight the beauty of underwater ecosystems with depictions of animals including a beluga whale, shark, fish, dolphin, jellyfish, and a majestic orca, culminating in an electric neon finale in celebration of hope, wonder and ocean stewardship. The drone show begins Friday, May 22 and runs Fridays through Sundays until August 9.
Guests can also experience the all-new thrill ride, Barracuda Strike, the tallest inverted family coaster in North America. The attraction invites guests of all ages to dive into the deep and experience the ocean’s most agile predator.
