Hey all -

well today my friend Patrick stunned me with an awesome slide posted on his theme park blog: Stuff From The Park

Check out the tikis in that amazing "seashell fountain"!

It looks to me to be the reverse view of this postcard:

which graced the entrance to the still standing (available for Weddings & receptions - but no longer looks like this) Marineland Restaurant...

It was an odd design, to be sure - here's another postcard - showing the imfamous seashell-encrusted ceiling:

For more another view of this oddity - go to Charles Phoenix Slide Of The Week site, here:

One of my favorite souvenirs of the place, is this matchbook - with little blind & drunken porpoises!

The Restaurant today is called 'The Catalina Room' - and can still be rented out - although it looks nothing like it once did...
