In 1956 CBS and the Los Angeles Turf Club (Santa Anita) asked for the lease（租出）on the Ocean Park Pier and they proposed to build a $ 10,000,000 sea theme park to compete with Disneyland. They closed the pier after Labor Day, hired the best amusement park designers and Hollywood special effects experts and began to design new attractions for the theme park. More than 80 special effects men, scenic designers and artists worked for more than a year on the project.

　　They like Disney, found corporate sponsors（赞助商）to share the expenses of some of the exhibits. To save money they rebuilt existing buildings and joined six of the old attractions into the design; the roller coaster merry-go-round, Toonerville Fun House, Glass House, twin diving bells, and Strat-o-liner ride. They called the new park Pacific Ocean Park.

　　The 28 acre park was decorated throughout in a sea-green and white art modern look. Its entrance set among fountains, sculptures（雕塑）and large sea horse and clam（蛤）shell decorated frieze（建筑物上端的带状装饰）, set the mood for the wonders within. The ticket booth in Neptune's Courtyard was set under a six legged concrete starfish（海星）covering. Plastic bubbles and sea horses decorated its top. All day admission was ninety cents for adults; less for children. This included entry to the park, Neptune's Kingdom, the Sea Circus and the Westinghouse Enchanted Forest exhibit. Other rides and attractions were at additional costs.

　　Opening day on Saturday July 28,1958 drew 20,000 curious people and dozens of Hollywood celebrities（名人）. Sunday's 37,262 paying customers brought traffic jams to the area. During the first six days it outperformed Disneyland in attracting customers.
