HISTORY: Sea World first opened on March 21, 1964 on Mission Bay in San Diego, California. It was only 22 acres of land, and had saltwater aquariums and a few shows. The park grew with the acquisition of Shamu, a female orca in 1965. She was kept in a small pool with another orca (Kilroy?) and later in 1971 they built the first Shamu stadium, which today is the dolphin stadium. Three other parks were created. First in Aurora, Ohio in 1970, which were followed by parks in Orlando, Florida in 1978 and San Antonio, Texas in 1988. Discovery Cove, which houses many species of fish and also dolphins, opened in 2000. On September 29, 2000, Sea World celebrated its 100 million visitor since its opening at the San Diego, California park. In January 2000, Anheusuer Busch sold Sea World of Ohio to Six Flags. Two orcas, the Commerson's dolphins and penguins were sent to Sea World of California, one orca was sent to Sea World of Texas, and the bottlenose dolphins to Sea World of Florida.
