The 11 a.m. show -- which had fans lining up as early as 9 a.m. -- started with a tribute to Brancheau, a veteran orca trainer who drowned Wednesday after Tilikum yanked her by the ponytail and pulled her underwater. The father of three said he was moved by the tribute, which included photos of Brancheau hugging and swimming with killer whales. "I think they know what they're doing," he said of the trainers. Despite Brancheau's shocking death, Grady said, the show needs to continue to educate people about animal conservation. He said they enjoyed the show, adding: "It's a tragedy, but these things happen when you're dealing with wild animals." Other precautions were obvious, with more staff on hand throughout the stadium and the female trainers tying their hair up in buns.These adjustments will also take effect at the parks in San Diego and San Antonio. They don't 'Believe' 
 
 The emotional return of 'Believe' did not change the minds of people who have long thought SeaWorld should not force animals to perform in shows. "They looked like they were being very careful," she said. Although she wants to see trainers and whales back together in the water in future shows, tourist Deborah Osuch said SeaWorld officials are right to take their time in reviewing their procedures, with trainer safety being the most important. When asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, the dark-haired girl simply replied: 
 
 "A Shamu trainer."
– SeaWorld in Orlando resumed its whale show today, preceded by an emotional tribute to the female trainer killed three days ago. Spectators, some of whom waited in line two hours before the first show began, gave the trainers a standing ovation when they first emerged, notes the Orlando Sentinel. "It was very moving," one spectator told the AP, adding that trainers seemed "very cautious." The trainers abided by temporary new rules prohibiting them from getting in the water with the whales, and the female trainers wore their hair in buns. Dawn Brancheau apparently got pulled under by her ponytail. The whale that attacked her did not take part in today's shows.
