I have a 10-DVD set of documentary footage of the fair and when I got to the Aquacade, it blew my mind. Even more amazing in color. Basically this was a huge performance venue which included a WATER stage as well as a large dance/skating stage. They performed what were essentially LIVE versions of Busby Berkely dance routines and Esther Williams movies. So, big synchronized swimming affair set to music, people skating in formation on stage, etc. There were elaborate costumes and of course lots of bathing beauties, like:
