About this audio guide
This guide to SeaWorld Orlando centers on Dawn Brancheau, a trainer who had worked at the park since 1994, and the afternoon of February 24, 2010, when she was rubbing the head of an orca named Tilikum after a show called Dine with Shamu at Shamu Stadium. It reaches back to what had already happened around Tilikum at two earlier parks in the 1990s. Listen for how the show you're watching today differs from the one guests saw that day.
