Oceanarium
An oceanarium can be either a marine mammal park, such as MarineLand, or a large-scale aquarium, such as the Lisbon Oceanarium, presenting an ocean habitat with marine animals, especially large ocean dwellers such as sharks.
Marine mammal parks
Marineland of Florida, one of the first theme parks in Florida, USA, started in 1938, claims to be "the world's first oceanarium"
Marineland of Florida was developed as Marine Studios near St. Augustine in Marineland, Florida, which was followed in Florida by Miami Seaquarium, opened in 1955 and in California by Marineland of the Pacific, opened in 1954 near Los Angeles, and Marine World, Africa USA, opened in 1968 near San Francisco.
SeaWorld San Diego was opened in 1964, developed by four fraternity brothers Milt Shedd, Ken Norris, David DeMott and George Millay.
SeaWorld Aurora opened in 1970 near Cleveland, Ohio.
SeaWorld Orlando was opened in 1973.
SeaWorld (San Diego, Aurora, Orlando) was sold to Harcourt Brace Jovanovich (a publishing company listed on the New York Stock Exchange) in 1976.
They purchased Marineland of the Pacific in 1986 and closed the park.
They had opened SeaWorld San Antonio in 1988.
In 1989 they sold SeaWorld (San Diego, Aurora, Orlando, San Antonio) to Anheuser-Busch, the world's largest brewer and owner of the Busch Gardens Safari Parks, for US$1.1 billion.
In 2001, Anheuser-Busch sold the Ohio park which finally ceased its activities in 2004.
In the capital of Kazakhstan is situated the only Oceanarium in Central Asia

Wow
by: CineramaYou've avoided questions that could've easily spoilt the mood
Like where does my girlfriend work, what's her favourite food?
I think I know someone who could give me an alibi
So, yes, I think I've just proved that I'm prepared to lie
But there is nothing quite like a secret rendezvous
I think I know already what I'm going to do
Outside the air is cold and your arm slips into mine
When you invite me in, you know I won't decline
But I don't want to stay forever
I don't want to leave my girlfriend but, wow!
This isn't happening the way I'd planned
I'm not going to say never
But I don't want to fall in love right now
Well, just as long as we both understand
As you lead me up the stairs, I'm leering at your thighs
You're revealing parts of me I just don't recognise
You leave behind a scent that lingers in the air
It draws me up the steps, but I should not be there
But I don't want to stay forever
I don't want to leave my girlfriend but, wow!
This isn't happening the way I'd planned
I'm not going to say never
But I don't want to fall in love right now
Well, just as long as we both understand
You're telling me, almost compelling me to stay
But don't close the door, because I'm still not sure
