I couldn't tell whether he was saying "back" or "bag". Interestingly one of Nick's opponents on J! the other day had a "monkey" story to tell - a Barbary ape tried to steal his camera.

So no monkey dance. I'm curious as to why San Antonio has a SeaWorld park when it's not a coastal city.

They prepared for when the polar ice caps melt.

I knew of San Diego and Orlando. The question being Level 8 means it must be Honolulu without one.

I have been to the SeaWorld in San Antonio. My guess is because it is a tourist city.

I have been to all three of the SeaWorld parks in these cities which makes this a bit easier. Honolulu also has a SeaWorld type park called Sea Life Park. It is outside of the city proper on the southeast corner of Oahu.

It is a bit on the seedy and sad looking side as compared to the Sea World parks that I have been to. It is smaller and does not feature whales but does have the usual dolphin and sea lion exhibits. Since it has a view of the ocean with a bit of luck you might see a whale frolicking in the Pacific while you are there I suppose.

No doubt it looked better once upon a time but it looked a bit run down when I was last there a few years ago. Times are hard I suppose.

Maybe because it is a warm weather city that is more or less midway between the other two making it a good place to attract those people who wouldn't travel to either coast.

And San Antonio is only about 140 miles from the Gulf coast. Orlando is probably at least 70 miles from the coast.
