Thanks for posting this, I played Captain John Smith in this video! Can’t believe that was 25yrs ago. Haven’t watched this since it first came out. Great times and fond memories!

I feel like my eyes would constantly be hurting from performing underwater

[@thedbshow5724]

@@jasonrobert3849 it actually didn’t bother your eyes. This is a natural spring, the water is extremely pure. The only problem was becoming very cold if you stayed in to long. The water temp is a constant 74.2 degrees year round.

@@cottage.brewings thank you! We did train multiple times a day to become comfortable breathing without a mask and practicing breath control to maintain neutral buoyancy. Along with the choreography.

@@thedbshow5724I am dying to know how the backstage worked. Where there air pockets under the “stage”? Where did you go when you weren’t performing?

Thank you so much for posting this, brought my young son who was 6 and quite poorly at the time (1996, same show), from UK. As a family we adored it, was nearer to where we were staying than the main Florida attraction, we bought video and cassette tapes, remember those! Unfortunately the videos wouldn't play so this was wonderful to see again. Everyone was so nice there and the park beautiful, such happy memories.
