There are times in your life that you realize a particular detail in a memory has been wrong, all along, tonight I innocently stumbled upon one such detail. For years, about 33 actually, I have assumed or remembered going to SeaWorld in San Diego, back in 1976. That memory was absolutely incorrect, instead we drove to the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Los Angeles, County to see the attractions at Marineland of the Pacific. Marineland of the Pacific operated from 1954 through 1987, and was home to two Killer Whales, Orky and Corky. In 1987, the owners of SeaWorld purchased the park, and although they promised to keep it open, they instead moved the aquatic life to SeaWorld and shut the place down six weeks after the completion of the sale. So much for promises...
My "new" favorite memory of Marineland of the Pacific, is the really big slide they had, ah what fun, even if yesterday I thought SeaWorld had that slide.
Anyway tonight pictures of Marineland of the Pacific
Enjoy

I remember you loving that slide. I remember the splashing of the whales. That was a wonderful day no matter where it was.
If you fed the dolphins or sea lions at the time those pictures were taken, there is a very strong possibilities that was the person that sold you the fish. Really miss that place
