I went to Sea World when I was 3 and actually do have memories of the trip. I vaguely remember seeing the characters on the water briefly from somewhere in the park, although we didn't actually get seats and watch the show. That was a big deal to me at the time. I grew up with comics as my dad owned a comic book store, and people now don't know or forget that comic book characters were not all over mainstream media then like they are now, save for the core characters of each company. So to see a character like the Flash or Green Arrow represented in live action was amazing, even if it was a bit corny.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13722919489844657820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611875170009784219.post-48650004382289545222017-09-06T23:12:18.124-04:002017-09-06T23:12:18.124-04:00LOVE THIS!!!

His interview (and the other skiers') begins posting 9/1!<br /><br />As for resurrecting the show, reboots (as they're called) are all the rage in the superhero world these days, so it IS possible! In fact, it has been a hope of mine that this feature might show that there is interest in such a revival.

I basically grew up on the superhero water ski show set (mainly Orlando), as I'm sure many of the skiers of the time can attest. <br /><br />My husband and I met at a waterski show and now have 3 kids, all skiers! It's so fun for them to see stuff like this. <br /><br />Superheroes are still so popular and big right now, wouldn't it be great to resurrect this? Possible?<br /><br />Keep the memories alive! <br /><br />GingerGinger Calemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01579838088140975020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611875170009784219.post-18496847274298534622011-08-26T15:40:04.480-04:002011-08-26T15:40:04.480-04:00Suzanne and Sharkey - thrilled to read that!

Yes, I wanted to include your parents and your mom kindly responded to my initial query (in fact, she said her brother-in-law lives in my hometown in CT and your dad is from the town next door), but they didn't answer the interview questions! At least they're in the photos! <br /><br />I'm curious how you learned of my blog feature?Marc Tyler Noblemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732005290440645718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611875170009784219.post-90847667675143642752011-08-25T08:36:38.545-04:002011-08-25T08:36:38.545-04:00Awesome post :) My parents and godparents were in ...Awesome post :) My parents and godparents were in that show (my parents are Superman & Wonderwoman in the doubles picture above).

I was born in '72 and grew up in south Florida. I never saw the show, but it somehow made its way into my consciousness. These photos are fantastic, and the video?
