(as you can tell, I’m trying to get caught up on some posting before the busy summer season) For several years we had Marineland passes each year. Then we went a couple of years without passes. Last year we got them again, and went half a dozen times. If you’ve been to Marineland any time…
From the Niagara Falls Review (includes a video): Ikaika is back home. The killer whale, the one at the heart of a custody battle between Marineland and SeaWorld, was removed from the Niagara Falls amusement park Saturday night by a fleet of transport trucks, a crane and more than a dozen Niagara Regional Police escorts…
From the Niagara Falls Review: Lawyers for Marineland hoped an 11th hour temporary injunction would block the return of one of its two killer whales to SeaWorld Friday. The injunction, however, was denied by a U.S. district court judge and that led to the dramatic transport of the 1,815-kilogram killer whale Ikaika Saturday night. More…

This isn’t really Niagara Falls related, but it does involve Killer/Orca Whales, which of course ties into Marineland.

I thought there might be more coverage after the tragedy at SeaWorld…
From the Niagara Falls Review: The death of a SeaWorld trainer who was attacked by a killer whale Wednesday has little chance of happening at Marineland in Niagara Falls, a company spokeswoman said. That’s because Marineland stopped performances with trainers and whales 12 years ago with the opening of its viewing facility Friendship Cove. “We…
