Today's images are from the long lost amusement park, Pacific Ocean Park. One of the main features was a Sea Circus with trained animal performers and more. I have seen very little documentation on the show and the stadium. It appears the stadium sat almost in the middle of the pier, with views to both sides. The first view is of the Skyway (where many a wild scary tale has been told) and the mysterious Banana Island, which was at the end of the pier.
The second view shows some of the other rides including the Fun Forest. The Sea Circus sign is a blast.
The third image is of the band and the master of ceremonies who was quite a clown. I love the stage backdrop, I wonder if I could fit it into my house someway?
A final shot showing the sky above and the tower from which the live broadcast from the Aragon Ballroom by Lawrence Welk emanated.
