LegendLover Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) Hello all. The past year and a half has been one of immense change for Marineland, both in the park and behind the scenes. As many of you may have known, John Holer, the original owner of Marineland passed away at the start of 2019. After his passing, it was unclear what the future would hold for the park with his family taking over operations of the park. Well it seems like his family is dedicated to the future of the park and ensuring that it will survive and thrive in the future. Last year, Marie Holer (John Holer's wife) hired a theme park analyst to assist in growth planning for the park. She also formed a partnership with what she describes in a letter to guests as "a well respected, accredited, international organization that is dedicated to the welfare and conservation of aquatic species to help Marineland enhance our in-park teaching and educational focused programming." That letter can be found on the park's website. With a new focus being shifted from entertainment from live animal performances, the park constructed a three million dollar, heavily themed splash pad named "Polar Splash" for the 2019 season. For the 2020 season, the park has announced that it will be adding three new attractions. The details on one of those attractions has been announced by the park, and it is a brand-new magellanic penguins exhibit, occupying a formerly empty exhibit in the park's Aquarium Dome. That expansion alone cost three million dollars. While the two new rides for the 2020 season have yet to be announced by the park, it is all but confirmed by park sources that the two new rides will be a Zierer Star Shape and a kiddie drop tower. The former will replace Topple Tower and the latter will replace Space Avenger. A separate post will be made when they are officially announced by the park via their social media platforms and their website.

boldikus Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Its weird, its almost like the owner(s) of this park hijacked this account to make this post. Also, lots of info with no sources. Or is this just hearsay/rumors? In addition, there is already a thread about this park (with a much better title). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
