The two images above are from a card that I believe dates from the early 1970's.The brochure below is from 1978...
I'm assuming the picture of the girl with torpedo-like underwater scooter was intended to be the front, and the "shark girl" was on the back of the brochure - but it could go either way. Maybe with the popularity of Jaws "shark girl" was placed in the racks facing up.
If you look closely at these brochures you''l see that Weeki Wachee was once owned by ABC Leisure Attractions - which was a subsidiarity of the American Broadcasting Company. Weeki Wachee is no longer owned by a private company, and is now a state park.Supergrass made a music video for their song "Low C" which plays like a mini Weeki Wachee documentary. Check it out...

On the extras on the DVD "The Incredible Mr Limpet", there's a documentary where the producers and stars of the movie hosted a premiere for film critics at Weeki Wachi. Highly entertaining!
