Artificial Owl recommends:
Sea-Arama Marineworld was an animal/entertainment park in Galveston, Texas, for 25 years. Opened in 1965 as one of the first ocean theme parks in the nation, it featured more than 25 acres, including a 4 acre ski lake, and a 50 foot long, 200,000 gallon aquarium.
In 1988 it was the number one tourist attraction in Galveston, until the larger more flashy Sea World Park opened in San Antonio, and contributed to its closing in 1990. It remained abandoned until its demolition after 2006. I'm not supposed to present a place that no longer exists...But the pictures are just too good.
Sea-Arama was demolished.

After the park opened in 1973, it closed in '74 or '75, some say it was because a few people died, probably it was to improve the park to attract more visitors. It reopened in 1986 and operated untill 1999.
It is belived to closed due to the fact that it wasn't attracting many vistors, who were flocking to Tokyo and its vast group of parks.
It is in Hobara Town, Japan. The full name of the park is Takakanonuma Greenland, it overlooks Fukushima, 250km north of Tokyo.
