I was sent this map without a source but I thought it was impressive nonetheless. It shows the SeaWorld parking lot in yellow. The green dot is where Orcas spend their lives.

edit: This is Seaworld San Diego, California

    Jesus. The SeaWorld parks in San Antonio and Orlando have a much better parking lot to park area ratio (though still fuck em for the animal abuse)

      That’s still insane. This is Hagenbeck zoo in Hamburg. The green area is a parking garage and a small parking lot dedicated to the zoo. Everyone else just comes with the subway.

      The yellow line in the meme is selecting quite a bit of area that isn’t SeaWorld parking, and it’s quite old too. On right it’s selecting some park area and the lot for a boat launch. On the left there is admin buildings and a Marina + parking for that. Check the satellite view.

        Not that it matters too much to the point they are trying to make, but they didn’t highlight the entire orca area either. So an over representation for the parking lot and under for the actual exhibit surface area.
