| (June 1962—1993) BACKSTORY: The Tahitian Terrace provided guests with dining & entertainment inspired by the islands of Polynesia and operated during the summer and on busier weekends. “Planters Punch Tahitian” was a popular drink (a blend of tropical fruit juices), served in a tall cylindrical glass. For the show, the waterfall curtain parted and the band filled the air with island rhythms. With graceful hip and hand movements, the dancers gave a tour of Polynesia. To add to the authenticity, the dancers emerged from backstage wearing sarongs, grass skirts, or other traditional garments, as appropriate for each island. Then the lights dimmed for the daring barefoot firewalk and the thrilling fire-knife dance. Flames leapt from the water. In 1993, Aladdin’s Oasis Dinner Show replaced the Tahitian Terrace, but lasted only two seasons. The former Tahitian Terrace facility is no longer used as a dinner theater.
