Sorry to belabor the point but was (or wasn’t) the original A-frame replaced by another A-frame, I really do recall the entrance being a big A structure more recently than the 60’s? Or am I loosing my mind? I remember that once you went thru you would/could stop look at the ponds, turtles, etc…
I also recall the entrance got moved to the right side at one point (maybe it was a temporary thing?) but this is all going way back in my skull.

Just wondering

Bosko

Now I am doubting myself - because Bosko is right - there was a pond with turtles just on the other side of that original entrance... Well - being gone by the early 70s is my best guess - but it may have lasted as long as the late 70s... I need to do more research on this, but with the Knott's book coming out this Fall, and the P.O.P. book in the works, Sea World is low on the totem pole right now!
