SeaWorld's Shamu shows

SeaWorld's orca/killer whale shows are named Shamu, and also to the "stars" of the shows. The name originated in the late 1960s and early 70s. The original Shamu died in 1971, but the name is trademarked by SeaWorld itself and has been given to different orcas at different times when performing in these shows.

After the death of Dawn Brancheau in 2010 by Tilikum, SeaWorld Orlando's largest orca, the park replaced Believe with One Ocean for 2011. A new policy was in place, making trainers not join orcas, including Tilikum, in the water. Brancheau's death happened after the "Dine with Shamu" show.
On SeaWorld's websites, they revealed information about the new show, One Ocean:
:"Dive into the exhilaration of the sea in our all-new Shamu show, One Ocean. The energy and spirit of the ocean envelops you in a multi-sensory celebration of life underneath the sea that entertains as it educates and inspires. Majestic killer whales join you on a journey into a world that drenches your senses in vivid colors, vitality and global rhythms of the ocean. Dancing fountains set the stage as you connect with thrilling sea creatures and realize we are all part of one world, one ocean. Your soul is ignited as our worlds are united and you realize that we all have the power to make a difference in the planet we share."
The show first premiered at the Orlando-based SeaWorld park in March 2011, San Diego on May 28, and San Antonio on June 10.
