After my very lacklustre visit in 2022, I concluded that Marineland, Niagara Falls might just be the worst theme park in North America. Now, years have passed and despite rumours of the struggling theme park finally closing down in 2024, they defied all expectations and indeed re-opened... however they did so in a very bizarre state. In my opinion, they somehow they managed to make their theme park experience even worse! Join me today as we take a look at what has changed and find out what the future holds.

  • "This would be the 13th beluga whale to die in the park-" Me: oh that's awful "- since 2019" IM SORRY?? that's absolutely insane
  • @SirAsdf
    Charging people 15 dollars to just walk around and look at depressed Dolphins is fucking disgraceful.
  • @AmusementLabs
    To be honest I'm surprised this follow up didn't end with "oh yeah, and they banned me from the park too". This place is so shady and terrible.
  • @kriscynical
    I think it's an inadvertent testament to your skill as a filmmaker that you were able to get 16 minutes of worthwhile material out of that park, Jake. Man that place is just sad.
  • “It’s barely an experience.” Dude it’s barely anything. I never figured it was worse.
  • @nubbynz
    This park IS an educational experience... on how not to run a theme park.😐
  • @merik2001
    They gotta be using this park as a front to some kind of money laundering op (or hell, maybe even a drug ring) at this point because there is absolutely no way that this park has made a cent within the last decade
  • Marineland was one of my absolute favourite places in the entire world when I was a kid. A few years ago, after hearing lots of rumblings about how the park might be closed soon, I made a visit for the first time in several decades as I thought it might be my last chance to do so. The experience was one of the most depressing of my entire life. It was like someone reached into my head, ripped out the happiest memories I've ever had, and then set them on fire in front of me and forced me to watch.

    I remember seeing commercials for Marineland when I was visiting my grandma in NY as a kid. "Happiness is Marineland" was their slogan in the 90's... it's not so happy anymore... 🤣

    I remember when "Paper Towns", a popular YA novel, had a sequence at a Seaworld-Park. After "Blackfish" they decided to completely scrap the COMPLETELY FICTIONAL SEQUENCE from the movie-adaption just because they didn't want to be connected to Seaworld.
  • @Kulkogo
    This is a example of how NOT to run a amusement park
  • @tokeshed
    this park sucked even 15 years ago, I spent my whole day playing Turtles in Time in their arcade instead of doing the 10km walk around a near empty park.
  • @GSutton
    Between the old world façades and that lush overgrowth, this is the perfect place for SHREKLAND. Visitors could travel to Duloc, Far Far Away, The Swamp - visiting Fiona's princess friends & their castles along the way - and they already have a dragon-themed ride! Come on, Universal - make it happen.
  • @VenusUrsa
    I've never seen such a liminal "theme park" that's still open.
  • Honestly, this is probably one of the few parks I don’t see a point in saving. All the rides (including Dragon Mountain) can be relocated to other parks, the animals can be relocated to zoos or other facilities that will take good care of them. The reputation of this park is beyond the point of a turn around.
  • @ceno8yte
    This feels less like a death spiral and more of a death rattle. Holy hell.
  • @phatrix111
    Its a horrible place, went once 7 years ago and was shocked at the state of the huge empty park. Surprised they stayed open for that long
  • @jakecollins5247
    A deer charged at me a hit my side back in 2016 here. It only bruised my side.
  • @FigmentTheDerg
    Marineland has just given up on the park. You know its a red flag if people are asking for refunds for tickets. $15 for a ticket is awful. And seeing the shape of the park and how the animals are treated is depressing.
  • @dentonscheibal3
    Marineland is the DashCon of theme parks, especially in 2023 and this year. All that's missing is a ballpit to make up for all the closed rides.
