New Arrivals
It’s
a whale demonstration!
Six Flags Worlds of Adventure announces the arrival of Shouka, May 28, 2002.
Measurements: 15 feet, 8 inches (5.2 meters) long, 5,000 pounds (2,250 kilograms).
The 9-year-old female orca from France arrived at the former SeaWorld Cleveland’s Shamu Stadium—now simply called Whale Stadium—in mid-May, bringing the popular animal back to northern Ohio for the first time since Six Flags bought the park in January 2001. The media met her in a satellite tour May 28, and shortly after she began doing training presentations on a regular daily schedule. Park officials have not determined when they will start staging full-fledged orca shows, and do not know yet when Shouka’s companion, the 10-year-old male Kshamenk, will arrive from Argentina, said park spokeswoman Kim Stover.
