They actually started Sea World after liberating some financial info from an accountant's trash can at Marineland of the Pacific! http://themeparks.about.com/od/themeparksbooksandbuys/fr/wavemakerbook.htm He later went on to popularize water parks, based on the swimming/rock sliding scene in the South Pacific movie musical. This is all even more amazing, because George has half of his face burned off. Up close he looks kind of like Vincent Price in The Abominable Dr. Phibes.
