Third marine mammal in three months dies at SeaWorld San Antonio
Dart, a 12-year-old Pacific white-sided dolphin died last week following recent deaths of an 18-year-old orca and a 2-year-old beluga whale
www.worldanimalprotection.usHere’s the latest I can share based on recent publicly available reporting up to now.
Rescue Jr. at SeaWorld San Antonio opened in early 2025 as a kid-friendly zone focused on SeaWorld’s rescue and rehabilitation themes, with plans and events around its development continuing through 2025. This represented a shift from the former Sesame Street Bay of Play into a new interactive area in the park’s family lineup. [citation: PR Newswire“Rescue Jr. … opens March 8” and amusement-news coverage][1][3]
SeaWorld San Antonio has also pursued enhancements at its water attractions, including Aquatica San Antonio, with new features and play areas such as Tikitapu Splash entering service in 2024–2025, signaling ongoing investment in family-focused experiences alongside animal-rescue themed attractions.[4][1]
There have been ongoing park developments and occasional safety or operational notes reported by local outlets and niche industry sites, including chatter about coaster projects and park updates through 2025. For example, trade-site reporting has mentioned potential new steel coaster plans for 2026 and updates around rescue-themed land construction.[2][5]
If you’d like, I can pull the most current, timestamped headlines from a few reliable sources (local San Antonio outlets, SeaWorld press releases, and major entertainment news sites) and summarize what happened most recently, with direct citations.
