Dude, you looked like a movie star back in 1955!

Very cool video. I remember going to Marineland as a kid back in the 70's. Many fond memories... I was always sad to see it closed and to drive by the old sign. The giant tanks were always a favorite of mine. I loved being able to look at the dolphins.

GREG MAY of Orlando, Fl says: "One of the biggest disappointments in my life is that I never got to see Marineland of the Pacific. When I was a kid I would write to Clyde Tussey, Marineland's publicist and he would send me press kits on Marineland full of photos and brochures. I still have them. See my 100th Visit to Marineland of Florida on YouTube: Man Makes 100th Visit to Marineland.

I remember going on my 3rd grade field trip back in 1984, that place was so cool!!

Marineland was great! I grew up in the Torrance area, and went to Marineland a few times. I still have a Marineland pennant flag I bought there in the early 70s, when I was 8 or 9 years old. It was never as big as Seaworld, but I think it had more charm. To bad its all gone now.

This is a delightful memoire! Thanks for sharing about the personalities of the fish. I have dived off that beach, but missed the park.

I went there as a kid and LOVED it!!! Around 1978-1979.....Sea Lion Point!!!

modspell ---- The missile "silos" you speak of were actually part of the (16 site)NIKE Air Defense system that surrounded the Los Angeles area.
The Palos Verdes / Pt. Vincente site was known as LA-55L and stored it's missiles underground, raising them by elevator to eight separate launchers above ground. The site was first opened in 1956 with NIKE "Ajax" missiles, then converted to the longer ranged and higher altitude "Hercules" missiles in 1958. The site was operational until 1974.

Bill, Thanks for the picture at the beginning. My wife and I went there in 1977. One of our photo albums is how I'd like to remember the place, not like the ones I've seen of the abandoned park. Shame on HBJ for their greed.
