I'm guessing this aired in the summer of '85.

I took my girl friend there in 1984/85?. We were watching the elephant show. Sittng very close to the stage. One of the elephants took a dump. Then sat on it. I just knew nothing good was gonna come to this and sure enough when he got up and started dancing & spinning around, elephant crap flew everywhere. She had on a beautiful white shirt. Kind of funny, looking back on it. Deb are you there?

I heard that Oracle Corporation has its headquarters there.

Yes, Oracle and other businesses are there now, plus condominiums and houses further down what used to be Marine World Parkway. I still refer to it as such, but they changed the signs a few years back to simply read Marine Parkway.

@TJL31SJ Yah, I worked there, I lived very close and my room window overlooked it...it was a trip cause I went there as a kid watching animals, Then as an adult...earning a living.

What Happend to the Redwood City location of Marine World?

@Dook6

It became a lot of housing development , grocery store, Oracle, E.A. Sports aka REDWOOD SHORES. Me and my friends had a lot of good times in the 1990's hanging in Redwood Shores being jack ass teenagers.

My Uncle worked for Marine World in the late 1970's driving a boat.
