1977 - Marineland and Niagara Falls

[@lindalakota38]

Wow 1977 that is excellent footage used really good equipment

[@AAAstudioz]

What a gem from the archives 🔥

[@chriscooper3503]

This should be sent in to Marineland

[@leftall3161]

Their stadium were full! I just went to Marineland and there was very few people there maybe only us were doing the rides

[@eliasmertens9313]

It is rebounding in popularity. Its popularity has kinda waned in the 2010’s. The wife of the original owner is dedicated into transforming the park into the premier theme park that it was in the past. Last year, they opened a brand-new kiddie splash park for families to enjoy named Polar Splash. This year, they were set to open a brand-new thrill ride naked Star Voyager and then a brand-new kiddie ride. If the rides are allowed too open this year, then they will be new. Aside from those rides, they have already opened a brand-new penguin exhibit!

Hi, I'm a member of the Current Affairs and Culture Team at SBS (Seoul Broadcasting System). Our team is in the process of planning a four-part documentary series called "Whales and Me," which is set to air from November 18th to December 10th, 2023. Through this documentary, we aim to showcase the "Extraordinary World of Whales" and shed light on the "Global Crisis Revealed Through Whales and Life and Death." I'm wondering if we could include this video in our documentary for full credit. We won't use this video for commercial purposes. Please let me know if it's okay, thank you.

We eagerly await your reply

Wow what a great quality digital transfer. Thanks for sharing!

The place was called marineland and game farm.

[@5trawb3rrysam]

They are still are cruel to their animals 40 years later. Great.

[@suprematica]

A lot of cruelty has been exposed and such places are now a thing of the past, great video though. Entertaining though it was, I'm glad us humans are becoming aware of the immorality of keeping these majestic, intelligent animals in confinement.

[@animalloverjulian8243]

That’s pretty good film for back than

Thanks. I digitally restored it

Looking for a Marineland of the Pacific (Los Angeles) commercial I was in in the mid-70s - I was a young kid and I only saw it a couple times when it aired. There's footage of me and others diving down under water in a tank - they were promoting Baja Reef or an early version of what became Baja Reef - where patrons could swim with the animals!!! There's a little footage of kids at a walk up and touch starfish and sea anemones display. Please message me if anyone sees this on KZbin anywhere. Home video tape machines were not common at the time - so I may never see it again. Thanks.

Amazing Quality Woe😎🤙

[@ikeedits9743]

Feel sorry for the animals being force to perform tricks. Does marineland still have tigers ?

[@chriscooper3503]

This should be sent in to Marineland. Would be cool if they made a historic type of commercial with it.

[@mcmxc3794]

Amazing, I’ve gone ever year of my life (since the 90s) never knew they had tigers and elephants!

[@lbabytutorials4852]

When did kiska stop doing shows? I can’t believe they don’t get another orca for her

[@lindalakota38]

No if any thing they need to give her to rehabilitation project so she can swim in ocean and prove to other parks its do able their are 2 belugas being rehabilitated as of now and keko lived 5 years

[@skyecloud968]

When did they think it was OK to stand and step on the orcas like that? Like wtf is wrong with them?

This is awesome! They should restore it back to this! If they did, they would totally fill their arena.

[@JonSchneiter-dg8bw]

This place just got bought. Rumor has it by SeaWorld. I hope they shut it down for good. They let Kiska due there after being lonely for a decade. Everyone involded should be in jail.

This is incredibly rare footage, and great quality too! I am especially happy to see the two killer whales, Kandu and Nootka. Would it be okay with you if I use this for some historical killer whale videos I am working on, non-commercial, non-monetized, and providing credit to you? It is my old series "killer whale history" I am remaking from scratch, you can take a look if you want.

[@dennmod24]

Hey let me know when your video comes out please, I've got to watch it as im one of the Biggest orca nerds there is out here , i Absolutely Adore killer whales. i know almost every one and there names and age , JK&L pods.ect, i can't wait to learn more about Type D orcas, my top 5 favorite unfortunately captive males are Keet, Tilikum, Ulises, Trua, and Keiko and my top 5 females are Orkid, Kasatka, Tokitae (Lolita), Katina, Kiska. Keiko and Kasatka have a special place in my heart . if they would of had a Offspring he/she would be so amazing and beautiful. Ikaika, Makaio, Corky, and Kyuquot are Incredible as well.

[@dennmod24]

poor kiska. may she swim free with keiko and her calves. dam marineland

[@tabbycat2599]

2022 and it’s all just so wrong. I know, I was there a couple of times when I was young but it needs to be trashed. Those poor animals.

[@gabriella_alletto]

OMG I was there this year! Thank you so much for posting this! I always wondered what it looked like back then. They don't have the Orcas shows there anymore, and it is not as packed anymore either. It is very unfortunate that they don't get the crowds like they used to :(.

[@bradleylyle9607]

i feel sorry for the whales having people people stand on them

[@L.A.09694]

Happy they don’t have any killer whales, and that the park is going to close soon

[@mrceleb2006]

I was there that year...haven't been back there since!

[@JonSchneiter-dg8bw]

This must have been before the abuse of animals started.

[@ShakyShorty]

ooo good catch. The film for this wasnt dated so I guessed based on the other footage this was in on a reel. I guess its somehow much older
