John Holer was a vile, sick, and evil man who thought he was Jesus and Walt Disney combined or something.

    @SaraAB87 Před 2 měsíci +4

    I just want to see them transition from animal ownership. Its clear that people do not like what they are doing with the animals and in reality its an outdated attraction that needs to be revitalized, people are moving away from wanting to see animals in captivity and since the marine law was passed in ontario it will be nearly impossible for them to continue with animal exhibits at least the way they have them now. Even the circus's in the United states have moved away from using animals. There are also inherent problems like problems with water quality at Marineland that would be nearly impossible to fix so in reality yeah the animals need to go bye bye I just hope they find good homes for them. Also this is going to be public record eventually so there's no way they can hide who the owners will be. Ontario needs a family park because Canada's wonderland doesn't fit everyone's needs.

    Old Kellogg’s thing is here in London Ontario. It’s a pretty impressive facility that I didn’t think upon announcement they’d pull off, but they did. No rides but it is a pretty compressive facility with things like a trampoline park, high ropes, arcade, bars restaurants. Plus the local children’s museum is moving in and Hardrock is building a hotel attached to it. If it is them not sure what it would mean for the future of the rides, but I wouldn’t bet agaiant them pulling off something really good.

We need some big rides there or fun activities maybe first of it's kind rides or something perhaps ride companies that cedar fair don't touch.
    There could be a nice big water water park built with tons of water slides to use the land to.
    I really think be best to get rid of all the animals for now at least maybe have a petting zoo eventually but not right now.

    Wonderland is a great ride park but does significantly lack space to make it an elite park. Wonderland is very good just not the same
    The parks we went to last week were absolutely jammed but they did grow over time and with growth in canada I think a major player could capitalize on this park esp if they did real resort structure similar to Disney or universal hotels real restaurants on property not the stupid hotel Wonderland was considering at the south end..
    The land for 30 to 40 years of growth would be amazing
