I worked at this park in the summer of 1970, with the whales. My job was to stand in the holding tank area adjacent to the arena. After the performance "Shamu" would come surging into the tank, swim in circle and dive, then stay there, so the public could view him. In the holding tank was a dolphin named "Tony." He was there to calm the whale. Note there is a ledge in the holding tank. I would often stand there and speak to the public about the whale, his habits, what he ate, etc. When the whale was performing, I often jumped in and swam with the dolphin. I was also able to touch the whale several times. ALWAYS keeping my eye on him while there. An extraordinary experience for a girl of 17 years!
Strange, I never heard of a SeaWorld in Ohio. I have only heard of the ones in San Diego, Orlando & San Antonio. I visited the SeaWorld in Orlando Florida in 2004.
I never did got to see SeaWorld I was only 9 years old when this was filmed. I didn't get to geauga lake with my dad the first time till 97 or 98. I really miss this park what a loss to corporate bullshit.
This scared me as a kid. There was sharks in there. It was a nope for me. I ran across that room. And stayed at the exit door way & waited for everyone to get done "sea seeing." Altho, rip SeaWorld.
Oh, Dinamation dinosaurs! How I miss thee, le me count the ways...
Went to this park once with my folks when I was a kid. Sad to see they will never be the same again. Thanks for the memories of the good times!
That day was 5 years before I was born! I miss this place so much, I hope someone brings it back.
I've been there many times as a child it really brings back good memories of my childhood

As a kid, every summer we would go to SeaWorld of Ohio back in the 90s. This brought back so many memories.
I miss you Shamu. ❤
How did u make it alive?!?!?
Thanks for uploading this, I went that year or in 1993. I have a pic of me riding one of the dinosaurs from the photo op!
I grew up close enough to hear the seals and sea lions from my bedroom if the wind was right. Hell, I grew up swimming in the Lake there.
Remember that they had monster marsh and carnivore park? Kind of the same. That shark encounter music was fitting.
I went there with my Mom, my Dad, and my sister Erin one time. That park brought back memories. I miss that place. :( Thanks for the memories.

RIP KAYLA
Shame it was all shut down. Now you gotta drive for miles just to take your kids on a fun vacation.
