Fair enough. The poor animals need a shelter from the storm too, though I suppose such natural phenomena won't bother them too much.

Seaworld open, poor old Shmau, he never gets a day off!!

was the full admission price charged??? or was a raincheck issued. if i had to pay full price for half a day would not have entered the park.

Just wondered if there were any reports on how AK coped during the Hurricane recently? Must have been quite a job to ensure the animals didn't run wild[?]

Animals, even in captivity, cope instinctively well with natural phenomena like thunderstorms. It is artificial disturbances (like explosions) that bother them, but they can cope well with those too given time. Notice the nonchalant ducks during the Epcot pyrotechinics?

Glad the animals know hope to cope best themselves I would find it quite interesting to be able to speak to the qualified cast members about the procedures they put in place during recent events, a bet that is really interesting
