Sea World Farewells Ski Show
Sea World has celebrated the end of an era with the final performance of its Waterski WipeOut today.
Sea World Entertainment Director Michael Croaker said that the Waterski WipeOut show had entertained thousands of people over the years, commenting "Sea World would like to recognise its amazing world class water skiers whose skill, commitment and dedication have made the show such a success."
The ski show began in 1958 at the Surfers Paradise Ski Gardens as a water ski show that combined comedy, aqua ballet and action.
Croaker added "from the 1970s until today, the ski show has changed names and themeing several times, but it has always contained world-class skiing and hilarious antics."
Waterski WipeOut is making way for a new live action show, 'Pirates Unleashed!' which will include all new elements.
