Terrors of sea head to the Falls

    From Niagara This Week:

    Terrors of the sea will soon be at home in the waters of Marineland as the amusement park begins site preparations for the first massive aquarium in its new marine park complex.

    Visitors will be able to view various types of sharks, including the whale shark — the largest fish species in the world — along with stingrays, manta rays and other types of ocean fish in the new exhibit through large viewing windows while they travel through an underwater acrylic tunnel.

    The aquarium will be dome-shaped and will measure 300 feet in diameter, holding between five- and six-million gallons of water.

    “It’s going to be a very unique exhibit,” said John Holer, owner of Marineland. “(Viewing from underneath) makes it much more attractive to see these types of different species.”
