Does anyone know if the Sparklet's Water show is still at Sea World? Any pics?

Nope, it's been gone for some time. While they were holding J.J., the grey whale, they had a show in that theatre about his rescue and release. A couple of years ago, they turned the theatre into a R.L. Stein (I think) Lighthouse adventure or something like that, a la Honey I Shrunk the Audience. Never been interested in the show so haven't seen it myself.

LOVED IT!

Was a fixture from 1968. Not sure when it closed.

I have postcards burried somewhere. This is the best I could find off google.

I'm so glad I saw this several times. I was 12 (1976) when I first saw it. Mesmerized. And to this day ... any sincrognized water dancing show is beautiful.

Man I LOVED the Sparkletts water show. That was always my favorite thing at SeaWorld!!!! I sure miss it.

I'm not sure how long, but I think its been gone for at least 20 years.

migo · 11-21-2005, 10:09 AM

That show was THE BEST! Sea World's attempts at 4-D movies fall flat.

Hyperbole · 11-21-2005, 10:36 AM

Do you guys remember the 60's cinderblock building it was in??? Even as a kid, I remember thinking the building looked cheesy. But man was that a cool show.Sadly, I don't think today's kids (my daughter included) would think that it was as great as we did.

Isn't that picture the Fantasy Waters show back when it was new and called Dancing Waters?

pancakesaregood · 11-27-2005, 12:40 AM

It closed during the later part of the 1980s, about the time before Anheuser Busch bought the park.

That is a picture I found on the net years ago I saved, forgot where though......

But I have a postcard from my family still lying about the house, along with a cap with the Sea World logo of the 80s.

Anybody have pictures of the old wood entrances? Before the whole makeover into a pastel colored oceanography of the Carribbean motif?

Any other old attractions long closed besides Mission: Bermuda Triangle, The Japanese Pearl Divers, Hydrofoil Boats and numerous shows?

Wasn't their some kind of whale ride for kids.

I used to love that water show, too. I remember that they used to have 2 different shows, in fact, with two different music/water sequences.

I can confirm that while it is closed and replaced with R. L. Stine's 4-D Haunted Lighthouse (not a great movie, although it has some very interesting cameos...), the exterior of the building itself appears to be the same as before, except that it's painted a tan color now.

These pics are bringing back so many memories!

i wuld expect busch entertaignment to be looking onto changing the movie in a few years.. as all 4 parks attendence with that movie might be getting a little low.. (busch never had a line in tampa..)

I would have loved to see thayt show... (it could be reserected, and be pleaced outside and done at day as normal with music (like epcot) and done at night with color... and it can run rain for shine.. (unless they need to service it)

2007 is the budgeted year for a new 4-D film. Of course... things can change...

I loved that show! While we're walking down Sea World's memory lane, does anyone remember the Star Kist underwater show that was in a neighbouring building that used to have 'mermaids'?

Alan · 12-08-2005, 12:37 PM

They were Seamaids. Sea World was fun when it first opened. The Pearl Divers, the Dolphin Lagoon and the Hawaiian Punch pavillion. One thing that never changed, the food is about as bad then ad it is now.
