Thank you so much for posting this! It was this EXACT dolphin show, and seeing the floating open mouthed Tiki God island thing (lower left) when I was 6 years-old that started this whole Tiki thing for me! We went to the Bali Hai afterwords and I was hooked!

Cool! And the Bali Hai too? Hope you had a rockin' good cocktail - at 6 years old!

I grew up visiting Sea World once in a while with my family. That photo reminded me of the Hawaiian Punch village and related stuff, plus the whole mystique of Mission Bay and the ocean so near the park. Many years later I wound up sailing those waters, snorkeling around the tops of the kelp beds offshore, and fishing for tuna. Fun times in So Cal! Too bad my family's photos from those days have been lost. I know we had some great slides at one time...
