^The trainers are not in the water at all in the show. When I interviewed several of the creative heads involved in the creative process of designing and executing the show, they all confirmed that this is a dry-only show when it comes to trainers. I asked specifically if there was any accommodation or planning done to allow for changes to be made down the road, but from the sounds of it, any changes would have to be made with the introduction of an entirely new show after this one.

Wow! I was there last month and I saw most of these props covered up by a black screen/tarp thing. It looks really awesome with all those effects and the choir. I can't wait to go back down to Seaworld.

I was able to catch the show yesterday, and I must agree that it is a LOT better than Believe was. Every movement of the show was perfectly timed and everything flowed together seamlessly. Also the soundtrack for One Ocean is great, matching the moods of each of the show's segments spot on. There's a lot more trainer/guest interaction in One Ocean in comparison to Believe as well, watched a few of them use the fountains to get the people in the first few rows even more wet.

Speaking of the wetness, HOLY COW! I've never seen something that soaks this many people at one time. The new fountains shoot up to the perfect height to basically cause it to rain on the first 5 rows of seats. Tilly is astonishing as well, when he came out in the show I was watching he managed to get a couple splashes all the way up to the handicap area.
Just keep swimming...
