I can still fondly remember putting on a wetsuit and snorkeling for the first time at their Reef exhibit. That was so awesome. Does anyone know when that attraction was first introduced? I can totally remember doing it, but I can't remember how old I was? Maybe 10 or 11. Anyway, it is a bummer to see what it has become. My wife and I were walking around there a few weeks ago for a Geology class she was taking, and to see the now dilapidated ruins of Marineland was disheartening. My wife is from Washington, so I was trying to explain what "used to be" where we were looking. Very hard to visualize in its current condition. I would love to see something like that open back up around there. It is such a great area with views of Catalina. Thanks for sharing the great pictures Tangaroa.
