 Mold-A-Rama.
I found these on Flickr... http://flickr.com/photos/tags/moldarama/and totally flashed back to my childhood, where I got a marlin out of what must have been a Mold-A-Rama machine at Sea World. Why don't we have cool shit like this any more?

 Re: Mold-A-Rama.
I still have an alligator from Gatorland, & an elephant from the Orlando zoo. Sometimes the machine would "burp" a little, & you'd get a poor misshapen freak of nature.

 Re: Mold-A-Rama.
whoa!!! I remember making one of those at Universal Studios back in the 70's after seeing the Jaws exhibit. I made a blue wax like shark in one of those machines. Damn I wish I still had that. I had no idea what the name of the machine was or that they made so many.

Gorilla Biscuits...an early customization!

That way you could have Saturday morning Mold-A-Rama exclusives available for just one day. Customers could mold their own Super 7 exclusive!

 Re: Mold-A-Rama.
Googling around, I did find a machine out there for sale for about $12,000 (or was it $120,000?). Make your own little Ghostland mold. I guess anything's possible.

 Re: Mold-A-Rama.
Busch Gardens has small mold makers all over the park with differant animal molds. I just got my son a Santa one when I was there in December for Christmas Town.
