So...did you/ do you love marine land?

I went when I was about ten and was more impressed by other theme parks. What were your thoughts?

........... I can't even remember whether or not I went to Marineland.


I vaguely remember seeing sea animals when I was kid, but it might have just been somewhere else.

I went a few times, but if I quickly decided Canada's Wonderland suited my interests better.

MarineLand lost it's pizazz once I reached a certain age and had gone there enough times. Needless to say, but the last time I went when I was 13, my friend and I rode the dragon rollercoaster thing like five times because it was one of the only exciting things to do.

I went once in my whole life and I can't even recall it properly. I remember seeing reindeer.

Wonderland is sooooooooooo much better XD.

MarineLand is good for the attractions...I'm just personally more into rides than attractions.

(Wonderland has its fair share too, but MarineLand has different ones, and depending on your tastes one may even go so far as to say MarineLand's are better)

I prefer the zoo, but last time I was there they were working on a new arctic section which sounded awesome.

There are pictures of me having fun at marine land... but I don't remember those times. I don't really like amusement parks (wonderland) either. It just seems like a sense of false adventure if that makes sense.

I hate killer whales. :|

Obviously they have to kill to survive, but when I was in Alaska last summer. They've been killing off the endangered seal population - for fun.

I had an awful experience at Marine Land. I was like .. somewhere between the ages of 8 and 10. And we went to the area where you feed the deer. Anyway..I was holding the food out in my hand for the deer to eat but the deer totally ignored it and came towards be and rubbed his dirty mouth all over my shirt. Lol.. it sounds funny when I say it but I was totally traumatized by it. My shirt was new too!
