Marineland announced a long time ago that they were going to build the largest aquarium complex in the world. Many visitors to AccessNiagara have commented in the past that they are very slow in getting things done. Here is a picture of the area where the complex will be. It looks pretty much like it did a year ago, except that last year there were trucks in the area. This year there are none.
This is a picture of the large sign that is near Arctic Cove. The plans look great, but Arctic Cove is the only part of the development that has been completed.
If you look closely at the “Arctic Cove Opening” year, it was something else, and then a new 03 was put on the end. Obviously it was supposed to open earlier, and they had to correct the year.
I know people get frustrated with the Marineland, but I don’t think you can fault them if business levels don’t indicated this is something they should do. They have lots of space, and I’m sure they will do more, but they may wait until the passport issue is resolved before they decide for sure how much to build out.
