Oceana gone yet?

Jeff's avatar
First off, I don't actually know, so don't think I'm baiting anyone here. With the beach cam down and the fact that by now we all know the former aquatic attractions are nearing the end of their lives, anyone wanna take a guess on whether any of it will be razed when we show up tomorrow?

What happened to the dolphins? Are they going to WoA?
-----------------
"What are you going to do, bleed on me?"
Several of the dolphins passed away and the last was shipped down to Florida somewhere.  That is why it has been a diving show the past couple of years.
There have been portable construction lights next to Schwabinchen for the past two weekends.

And the last dolphin died this year, I believe. Tim and Lois would know better (Lois, aka "Oceana Forever," worked there its debut year).

I noticed the beach cam was down on on Monday. Let's just say I wouldn't bet AGAINST Oceana being razed by now. Ever notice how time drags when you are waiting for something?

I'd rather die living than live like I'm dead

Do we know why the dolphins died?  Did CP do somthing wrong or was is just old age?

I love fall...
The cool, brisk air...
The brightly colored leaves...
The amusement park announcements...

I think there was not enough room in the "pool";) I think that was a reason.

Come on Walt...We aren't THAT old are we
Can you name the dolphins?
Can you name the sea lions?
Can you name what was moved from the spot so Oceana could be built?
Today's CP history lesson has been brought to by the letter B...for BEER and I am old enough to drink it and by God I will

Okay, I know the dolphins answer. Striker, Cocoa, Misty and Breeze.  Why I know that I have no idea.  I guess my love for the park goes pretty deep.  Sea lions you've got me there?  The last question stumps me a bit, but I'll guess and say the Funhouse?

I'm going to go with Skippy and Brandi. Though, believe it or not, I'm not 100% sure.

Well, it was (and still is) a pretty "wild" ride.

Wasn't the old earthquake ride where Oceana is, or am I in the wrong spot?!

Jeff, your such a tease.  Thoughs of us that are over 300miles away will never know that it's gone till we hear it here first!  Thanks! ;)

Jumbo Jet was next to the Space Spiral. The Earthquake ride was in the building currently occupied by Snoopy Boutique.

I don't know the aquatic animals' names, but the original Wildcat was built there. It was sold to Valley Fair, and they might have gotten ride of it...not sure.

Which do you long-time patrons enjoy more?  Old WildCat or "new" WildCat?

I say Oceana is still there, but the wrecking ball will be there first thing Monday morning (October 29th that is ). Would not be surprised to hear an announcement that day as well.
