Worlds biggest cash grab! And can’t even find decent food there.

Thin that American herd

Those poor creatures trapped / HELD CAPTIVE in SeaWorld 💔💔💔💔💔💔

Interesting to see what they do, going to imagine there is going to be no indoor gatherings.

Oh, great more lines for people to stand in. As if standing in front of Walmart for one hour wasn't enough. Everyone will have to socially distance themselves on a rollercoaster. That should make the lineups even more fun.

If this works out maybe we can look into opening the pne.

Not sure what the excitement is about. We've had months of Fantasy Land, Unicorns & Pixie Dust spew from the pie hole of a certain unwanted denizen of Ottawa JustinIsTheVirus CanadasClownPrince TrudeauMustGo SeakasPerson CommonSenseTory DirtyJohn14

Amazing how Disney can check the temps of thousands of guests/day as they are coming into the park, yet Canada cannot check the temps of anyone landing at our airports.

SeaWorld's still in business?

Open up all usa 100%

I can see the stores now selling Mickey Masks and Minnie Sanitizers.

Safety last money first

Good now open the border so I can book a holiday! Everyone should go who’s fed up with this covid crap!
