Great video! This reminded me of Boardwalk Fun/White Water in the 80's. A Ford dealership now sits in it's spot in Grand Prarie. I went looking for some videos recently and unfortunatley did not find much.

[@theoutseers]

Appreciate that, my friend. I have also been told there was safari drive through in Grand Prarie too. Lots of cool history in that Grand Prarie Arlington area.

I worked there in 1973 and 74. Ended up working in the underwater show. Best job I ever had.

[@theoutseers]

That sounds so fun Gary! Was it a little scary too?

[@msyellarose]

Oh wow, remember going there as a kid on a family road trip or two. I remember that iceberg ride

[@theoutseers]

Thanks for the memory! Hard to believe Arlington had a Sea world before Sea world

[@GalaxyinfinitemStudios]

Cool video! I vividly remember visiting Seven Seas when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing!

[@theoutseers]

Wow I’m jealous! Wish i got to check it out in real time. Thank you for watching! AND thank you for subscribing!

[@jimrockford4968]

Rumor was that when Arlington Stadium was there you could stay at the Sheraton and see inside the stadium. I know the Shraton changed to another name and came back later

[@theoutseers]

Wow that's cool! Feels like a lifetime ago going to Arlington stadium.

[@theoutseers]

P.s. the Rockford files theme is possibly the best ever!

[@kimp.e.8171]

Interesting. Thank you for taking the time to show us a virtual tour.

[@theoutseers]

[@jamessharp9790]

Thank you for this !

[@theoutseers]

@jamessharp9790 your welcome! Really glad you liked it James!

[@davidfromtexas9681]

I remember visiting here twice, one with my family, and then on a church summer camp field trip. The dark ride, the pirate ship, and the killer whale show are really the only things that stand out in my mind. Interesting, I did not realize the location is now a hotel.

[@theoutseers]

Thanks for watching! That’s so cool you were able to see it in real time! It is a nice hotel and some parts of the old theme park are still around!

[@Yasir1247]

Super cool. Thanks for sharing!

[@theoutseers]

Thanks for watching! it was a great experience!

[@chazhaze1580]

I went there a few times as a kid and they did have a shark tank you could walk along the glass or even the plank walk on top.

[@theoutseers]

Wow! That's so cool! Arlington has and had so many neat attractions. Thanks for watching Chaz Haze!

It was before my time

[@p99guy]

I went there a few times as a teenager. The city of Arlington had entertained thoughts of reopening it, but the company had poured concrete in the drains/ sabotaged it to make it too expensive. There was also Lion Country Safari, around the same time, off Belt Line Rd.

[@theoutseers]

I remember in the 80s seeing something that looked like what your talking about the lion safari. I always wondered what it used to be.

[@chazhaze1580]

You are mixing up memories, it was White Waters water park that Wet-n-Wild bought and filled the pipes with cement. Wet-n-Wild was then bought by Six Flags and is Hurricane Harbor now. White water was next to the Wax Museum in Grand Prairie.

[@p99guy]

@@chazhaze1580 wasn’t it “ 7 seas”? Had the pirate ship and all.

[@chazhaze1580]

@@p99guy yes they did have a cool pirate ship but the pipes for Seven Seas were just sitting there rotting away, you can still see some of them in the video

[@sirhambone]

​@@chazhaze1580 Also called 'Boardwalk Fun' when they attempted to reopen in the 90's. A Ford dealship now sits in it's spot. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boardwalk_Fun_Park
