As was mentioned here, the former Capri Restaurant is undergoing renovations and will open as a place called Pizza Deli.

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.

“We don’t do routines [...]
