Jun. 24th, 2008 -- Orlando, Fla. - This July 4 & 5, families can join SeaWorld Orlando and celebrate the red, white and blue with the exciting firework spectacular Let Freedom Ring.  This impressive production features a giant projection screen illuminating some of America’s greatest historical moments set to stirring music and patriotic narration.  Guests will have the opportunity to experience the 12-minute extravaganza twice nightly at 9:15 p.m. and 10:45 p.m.

SeaWorld also is giving guests a great reason to stay late to experience the park in a whole new way.  Now through Monday, Sept. 1, evenings will rock as SeaWorld AfterDark debuts and immerses guests in a rock 'n' roll extravaganza including Shamu Rocks, Bayside Ski Jam and Mistify.

* Shamu Rocks is an amazing killer whale show driven by a beat that’s larger than life and featuring stunning visual effects.  Shamu Rocks has received rave guest reviews, and this year’s rendition is no exception.

* Bayside Ski Jam is an all-new, nighttime action-packed ski show that jams on the lake and in the sky.  The art of water sport merges with fun, funky music to provide plenty of fast-paced action.  Bayside Ski Jam features expert skiers using the water as their stage to entertain guests at Bayside Stadium.

* SeaWorld AfterDark infuses the park with a rock 'n' roll atmosphere, from DJs mixing music in several park locations to the fireworks, flames and fountains of Mistify, the park’s biggest finale ever.
