Revenues dropped 3% and visitor count dropped 2%but profits dropped 84% when compared to the same quarter in 2014 . I guess that they have a lot of fixed cost and will need to cut jobs and/or release some animals to make the numbers look better. I have the same sentiment after watching Blackfish. I will probably never visit SeaWorld again. And I have asked many of my friends to not go to SeaWorld.
1. Blackfish employs false and emotionally manipulative sequences concerning the collection and separation of killer whales.
2. The film relies on former SeaWorld employees, most of whom have little experience with killer whales, and others who haven’t worked at SeaWorld in nearly 20 years.
3. The film also relies on animal rights activists masquerading as scientists.
4. The film spins an entirely fictitious account of Dawn Brancheau’s death in order to advance its anti-captivity narrative.
5. To advance both its anti-captivity narrative and its false theories surrounding Ms. Brancheau’s death, the film falsely suggests that Tilikum had become psychotic and aggressive.
6. The film falsely suggests that important facts about Tilikum were concealed from his trainers and that SeaWorld is indifferent to trainer safety.

how come only whales in captivity have the droopy dorsal fin and not in the wild? you really think a whale can live a happy healthy life in a large swimming pool when nature intended them to swim the oceans?
That math makes no sense unless they spent a bunch of money, wrote off a huge loss, or someone is cooking the books .
Ok, the article says that Seaworld dropped ticket prices and probably added significant promotions.
The article says that Seaworld spend $10m on their Blackfish media counter offensive.
Then we have the 2% drop in attendance which is only about 100,000 fewer guest.
Net income in the second quarter dropped from $37.4m in 2014 to $5.8m in 2015, A 84% decrease.
Revenue fell from $405m to $392m or $13m.
Attendance dropped by more than 100,000 from 6.58 million to 6.48 million.
