A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

I actually saw this show back in the day. I remember it vividly. My dad has some old Super 8 footage of it somewhere.
It was at Seaworld in 1979 and on my dad's film, "Supergirl" hits the beach too hard skiing in and trips.
Actually, this whole website practically has my entire childhood on it..

I also had a thing for Yvonne Craig (Batgirl, from the Batman TV show). The Batgirl at that show wasn't near as good as this:

That picture of the superheroes watersking is in my souvenir Sea World book from childhood. I remember looking at the picture and wanting to see that show.

I remember having a blast at that show. It was a great year, it was my first trip to DisneyWorld too.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

I don't think the Superhero watersking show was ever at the San Diego Sea World. I would have been about three when the show flourished so perhaps I don't remember.
