SHAMU- The happening weekend part3

Well, i don't think i can do proper justice to the story! There is Shamu and there is rest of the trip!
SHAMU first!
Shamu is a killer whale. Rather it is a group of liller whales with white n black body, twisted fin and is used in sea world San Antonio, Orlando n San diego. Shamu was used in the movie Free willy! For more info on Shamu, see http://www.shamu.com/
Everythihg about Shamu was good, the moment i entered the shamu "believe" theatre, i felt the shamu pulse! And whooosh!!!!!!!!!! here it comes! The shiny black and white body carrying the trainer! for a monet i forgit i was 23 and felt as if i was a kid! They were showing footages from the film too! The show went on for some 25 minutes and i felt every pie is worth it! The ticket was 40$ for the full sea world but i felt just shamu is worth the money and may be even more! But as usual, few agree with me. See the pictures uploaded to get a feel!
A note for vikram: When i come to San Diego, A shamu show is a must!


Now continuing with rest of the sea world story! After Shamu, we went to a ride! It turned u full ulta! 1 was ok, but soon it turned upside down again. and then 3, 4.... by the time i reached 5, i was like if it is not the last one, i will throw up! But thank god, it ended there!!! Everybody was happy but ya everybod was glad to get out of it too! Do i really hate such artificial thrills! I gues i do! I know i can manage most of the rides. I have survived all so far. But i really don't enjoy them! I find nothing good in them except telling others that it was so thrilling! It's so artificial thrill! U can have the same thrill in your dream also! And for one who gets thrills with Jane Austen novels, these look really artificial!

Whatever, coming back to the day events, next we went to one water ride! It wa stoo much rush so we had a 45 minute wait for the ride! There was a small boat which carried 6 people and carried them along a topsy turvy artificial river which had waterfalls and all! During the wait, pranay was pulling my leg a lot and i told him, "dekh le beta, tu hi bheegega sabse zyada". and it was true! click on the heading to see what happened to him! This ride was fun, load sof fun, but ofcourse no thrill!

Next we went for a dolphin show which was also too good but it was made "feeka" due to the shamu effect! Next we went for food and then saw penguins and went for another ride called steel eel. This didn't have any turn ulta so there was no "chakkar" involved but there was a 70 degree all! It was real thrill this time! As it falls, you are off the chair and u r held with just the metal belt which u hold. But the scenery was fantastic!

After that, we went to the sea lion show! This also, u have to see it to believe it! The sea lions and the walrus did a full skit about how to find an old uncle who has gone into hiding! The stage was 2 storeys and the lions did go toeach level and jumped and did all activities! The high time was when the uncle was found, it was a big creamy walrus and it was too fat! The instructor asked, what r u doing to reduce weight? and it actually started doing abs!!!

After yet another ride, it was time's up! It was 9 pm, but i had no mood of coming back! I wanted more of Shamu!
On the way back, it was fun! U just have to ask Harsha how is Dr. Enjeti (her advisor) and u can sit back for hours and listen her talk :) (Just kidding)

Reached back at 2 am and called home! After all i was missing mom a lot! She loves astronomy , and she loves sea! So it would have been actually an ideal trip for her. Missing u maa!
