(Credit - Visit Vallejo.) Mid 80s Bay Area clip with Karl Sonkin reporting on how the aquatic amusement park was preparing to leave their Redwood City location and how locals were very excited about it coming (still there today too!), outside of town off Highway 37 and Interstate 80, near the Solano County Fairgrounds.
The only opposition at all was from some avid golfers, because that meant the old Lake Chabot golf course was being demolished. This is amazing quality footage and might be all that exists to show how it looked way back in the day. Check out the TeleCopter 4 aerial view at 1:07 - its as close as you could get to Google Earth!
Jim Paymar was the anchor at the beginning and end.
