As a cinematographer I am very familiar with the problem of photographing vertical subjects for a horizontal medium. If you try to include the complete vertical subject in the frame, you end up being too wide and showing too much empty space on the sides, so often you cut the top off. The only way to show a structure like this and keep a tight frame would be to pan up, or down along the length of it....but that does not give you the same visual impact. That's why it might not have been shown in its entirety that much, and why I did not take notice of it. The above photo used the name to fill that empty space.
I don't think I ever went to Sea World before my kid was born, in '92.
