My family has been going through old tapes and we finally came across a Marineland tape from 1993. This was probably my first trip to Marineland, I would have only been 2 years old in this video.
It's interesting to see how much has changed over the years. For those not familiar with Marineland, the park used to keep it's bottlenose dolphins in this aquarium until they were moved in to a much larger stadium, the King Waldorf Stadium, and the orcas were moved to what is now Friendship Cove. Some of the pinnipeds (seals, sea lions and walruses) are kept at this aquarium and some are in the stadium.
I apologize for the cuts in this video, I was obviously not the one filming this or I would have recorded the entire thing!
Neat, I like that spray of water! They didn't use that back in the early to mid 200s. I'd never seen Duke, either, he actually came to MLC before Nemo did.
