Once you've tried Black Adam you'll never go back, madam.
They obviously set dressed that film wellWhat a *ing cynic you are!
A quick check of the post cards from the time make it clear.
Marineland at West Beach was on the 'must see' list of every international visitor to Australia in the 1970s.
The story of what happened to Flapper, the defiant dolphin who refused to jump through the flaming hoop, is best forgotten.
Dolphins saying if you are gonna torture us with fire hows about cleaning the pool & replacing a few tiles once in a while.
Yeah. Did a google search of the place and the dolphin aquarium (or pool) was just 2m deep. What a disgrace.They obviously set dressed that film well

I have the vaguest memories of being in the car driving past the place. I never got taken there as a little kid, I think even back then my parents must have known it was a pretty dodgy/cruel place.
Good on the Adelaide public for dropping off it & having it cast to the past.. meanwhile Queensland.

Easily the most baffling hyperbole to leave a caller’s mouth in the history of sports broadcasting — moreso given the source.
Even Stephen Rowe would’ve been like, “gee…”

I'm old enough to have experienced Marine Land first hand. That photo is pretty much how I remember it. It was truly awful.

Anyone remember the helicopter flights near Glenelg? Must have been late 80s possibly early 90s
It looks like an abandoned indoor pool ruin you'd see those youtube explorer types cover lol

Just read this on the wiki page:
Heaps Good, SA Great!
I remember the hoo-hah about the plan to euthanise the dolphins. Can't remember what they ended up doing with them though.
One of them ended up back in the ocean, and it made its way to the Port river, where it taught other dolphins to do the tail walking thing that dolphins in the wild don't do

Found some article online about the joint and most of the comments were from boomers that went there in the 70s and said it was great and they should bring it back.

How bored is the crowd. Dolphin's working its tail fin off to do a backwards moon walk and the kids are like, "meh".

it gives off such a dingy vibe. crusty old aquatic centre with mould growing everywhere and they decide to chuck some marine mammals in a standard pool.
are aquatic centres still a thing? is the one at noarlunga still open? i think i remember when that thing opened. plus there was splashdown and the ice skating rink. and the ten pin bowling and mini golf. entertainment complex.

Dolphins tail walking - Photography | Dolphin Dock
Tail Walking is where a dolphin leaps out of the water backwards and moves backwards on its tail. It is an incredible sight to see and is very unusual behaviour ...

Kathy went to Marineland for her honeymoon!Found some article online about the joint and most of the comments were from boomers that went there in the 70s and said it was great and they should bring it back.

I bet they had a waterbed in the honeymoon suite and her new husband made her wear one of these before the deed:
