The new owners I would dream for is Universal. Imagine a Universal Canada.
Given the climate, a studio park would be perfect cause it could operate almost year round.
I mean id see a seaworld making more sense
@@topgunjoeicdbko yeah I don't SeaWorld touching this place at all, as they don't want the extra negative press from Marinelands bad past. Honestly I think the SeaWorld names days are numbered, as they already changed there corporate name to United Parks.
@slumpdogyt rem sea world merger with bush gardens its diff now they r expanding fast. New parks all over the globe.
@@topgunjoeicdbko they didn't merge SeaWorld/united parks bought busch gardens from the busch family. I just don't see SeaWorld buying Marineland due to everyone in Canada who has tried to get Marineland banned from having animals.
I just want a group that can somewhat compete with wonderland
I agree would be great idea
Very true.
That's what I want. Wonderland needs competition.
@@jasonbyl8695 wonderland would survive no problem if marineland became a normal park wonderland is the most populer in canada they could invest no problem if any parks toast it would be darien lake
@@jasonbyl8695 wonderland could invest no problem if marineland became a normal park cause they got lots of money and farther away darien lake is the park that would be suffering well darien lake or niagara park formerly fantasy island
I really hope the new owners can finish the theming Dragon Mountain was supposed to have along with giving it a little TLC as well as adding new ride and attractions and transitioning away from animals.
From what I hear, he want to sell it to build on. If Tokya can have a Disney, then it is time Canada does too!
Having that world's largest aquarium complex they've been advertised for years would be cool too lololl
never seen a drone shot like that of marineland. HOLY! This place has so much potential. If it’s who I think it is- they’ve done great things so far. We’re in desperate for another theme park!
It would be real nice if Wonderland got some competition. It could also help with the crowds there.
The animals will be gone when they open in June. Admission will be alot cheaper than what it was. Niagara Falls already said they will not allow condos or any home be built on that land either.
Was there last year and half the rides were closed, and alot of weeds overgrowth of the rides. Place looked like garbage
30+ belugas will not just be "gone in June". I can guarantee that. Where are they going to go?
Turns out you were right, no rides running this year. I do hope original owner is able to salvage or revitalize some of the old rides. I hope all the animals can be rehoused correctly and safely :( totally agree with your thoughts on the owner of the park. John Holer was a vile, sick, and evil man who thought he was Jesus and Walt Disney combined or something.
Marineland is 1200 acres so it is not a small park, it just hasn't been developed to it's full potential by previous owners with most of the acreage being woods
Haven't been to marineland since 2009 when I was 8, so im looking forward to what the new owners have in store!
Super informative! Thanks for making this video!
fingers crossed that this park gets the developmets and improvements that it deserves!
Merlin would be good. Lego Marineland maybe or Disney.
Busch Gardens Niagra would be SOOO DOPE!
no animal park just amusement Lots of space to do a big upscale park
Universal. Seaworld
Cedar fair six flags
Any of these would be absolutely amazing
are there any updates on who the new owner is or what direction the park will take?
No way
That place is still open?! 😂
I would have thought it closed down like 2 years ago
They only closed for Covid till they were allowed to re-open as a Zoo
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.
I was only there once. It was a huge letdown, huge, and empty. Something great could be built there though.
It would be ideal to have a park One that can compete with canadas wonderland. See who can drag in more of a crowd. I think it would be close considering its on the border. Draw in the people from both sides.
canadas wonderland could compete and invest no problem if marineland became a normal park wonderland has millions of dollers from how populer the park is darien lake on the other hand is the park that would be toast if this happens its closer to niagara falls
@@zachguest8565 if Marineland does it right they can capture that family demographic that Wonderland hasn't seen to be able to get.

When will you be doing an update for Canada's wonderland tonight or tomorrow
There's so much space to make a fantastic amusement park I really hope it happens
I wonder if they'd try a Universal Kids Resort there? It would only use the smallest fraction of the land, but they sound like they're planning lots of those.
My hubby is speculating that it could be Conklin Amusements which is a Canadian company who dose most of the travelling Fairs
I highly doubt a bunch of carnies know how to care for marine mammals.
@@user-nx3en1eo4bthey are fazing out all the animals.
The marine staff that already works there is still with the few dolphins and belugas that are left
And why not have Canadas biggest Carnival company buy it? They know how to operate rides
Well, SeaWorld (now United Parks) is more likely considering their experience with marine animals, also they could rename this park to SeaWorld Niagara Falls, transform the area near the kids rides into Sesame Sreet, add a water coaster and a surf coaster, retheme some rides and improve the experience. This makes sense.
Would be cool if we get Disneyland Canada
The land has a huge plot of property. I believe 6 Flags Cedar Fair should purchase the land and have two giant theme parks hours away from each other. For example Canada Wonderland and Cedar Point
Merlin is a WILD guess
Your probably right in regards to an owner that we have never heard if. Why even open the park with nothing? But, Maybe it will be this huge surprise. Maybe they have been making plans, and selecting and designing rides for the past 6 months. Here's hoping for something great to come. Niagara Falls needs a good Amusement Park/ Entertainment.
no rides, no animals except the belugas, the splash pad and picnic area, that is all for 14.95 adults and 10.00 children
I would love if Universal Destinations bought the park. They currently have no parks in the area and they are currently expanding like there’s no tomorrow. They also are building a park in the UK
literally anything is better than Marineland! Wishful thinking Universal/seaworld/Busch gardens. A park like hersheys or like Dollywood would be cool.
I could see them keep the marineland name, a few water animals and maybeeeeee land animals here and there just as theming for the park but mostly focus on rides themed to those animals
Do you happen to know the land size compared the wonderland?
Marineland -- Opened: 1961
Area: 4.856 km²
Owner: John Holer (1961-2018); Holer Family Amusements (2018-present)
Canada's Wonderland --Opened: May 23, 1981
Roller coasters: 18
Owner: Cedar Fair Entertainment Company
Area: 134 ha
Wonderland is nice
I feel like they should move the rest of the animals to a sanctuary and open it as an amusement/theme park
Herschend would be so epic and a perfect fit for the park. A Dollywood esc type park meets Efteling would be so beautiful and engaging. They have the land for it. Could even tap into a music festival destination area too. Such potential.
I really hope .Universal kIds or LEGOLAND
The Kellogg's factory is in London
I know it's definitely not Cedar Fair/Six flags with Canada's Wonderland and Darien Lake nearby lol.
if marineland becomes a normal park darien lake will be toast canadas wonderland on the other hand will be able to invest no problem they got lots of money
I'm guessing its a private company, if it was a publicly trade company we probably would have heard something.
It needs to be closed. Worst theme park in the world it will not be missed 😂
Busch gardens Niagara Will be cool😊
busch gardens would be great canada will have 2 big parks canadas wonderland and busch gardens if busch gardens happens regradless busch gardens is an amusment park changes that half zoo i bet Sufari niagara will be toast cause it has no rides
Hoping for Mohegan Gameing and Entertainment, or United Parks.
Do we know yet?
Well I would rather see this become a park with roller coasters. Honestly they should do roller coasters that Wonderland doesn't have since it is on border maybe good opportunity for rmc. 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.
Was just at Disney world and Universal..
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
Canada loves doing things we sell out events very easily esp southern Ontario, this from being ticket broker Toronto is money 💰💰💰💰💰
welcome to canada home of retirement people, what a way to be a gamer
this doesn't even make sense
@@user-nx3en1eo4b why should it? cuz canada cant shut down abuse
You mean, there’s hope?
If you watch vlogs of people walking the park it’s huuuuuuuuuuiuuuuiigeeeeeee lol it has soooo much potential. Wonderland can only grow so much more. This location could be a huge competition
Universal entertainment
I would also take a lot of what's said here with a grain of salt.
Well most of it ended up being true so for
I would rather see Walt Disney buy Marineland to compete with six flags or sea world or Wonderland
Doubt you’ll ever see a big player like Disney or Universal open here cuz of the winters. Just sell half the land to developers and use the money to tear the other half down to make room for another Wonderland.
This never made sense to me. 80% of Disney and Universals rides are indoors. Just heat the buildings and put outdoor space heaters everywhere. Make it Frozen themed in the winter. Niagara region stays warmer than the rest of the country, thats why they make wine here.
Disneyland Canada
As long as there are animals at this park I plead everyone to boycott Marineland at all costs. They've had multiple fractions against them on the lack of animal care, multiple deaths and none of these animals live to their average life expectancy as they would in their natural habitat.
Thank You so much for touching on this issue, It’s insane to me how they treat animals in the amusement industry. I do hope that this park does become the place it deserves to be, but it’s past may be a burden even if it rebrands.
wanting sea world in Canada ins fucking crazy asf fuck sea World free all the dolphins
It would of been great to see Disney take over the park give the first non U.S. N.A disney theme parks thereit would of been great for Niagara and create a similar concept Walt had at one point but thank god the animals are being taken out
Doesn’t he sound like packgod? I don’t want to be rude
Finally.
has been my home park for over 40 years.
last 10 years have been disgraceful.
Much more than 10 years, friend... Much more.
I hope it’s not Bill Gates
In what world would Bill Gates, who has devoted his life to charitable causes like sanitation, enter the theme park world?
@@NicholasMoreau do you know how much land he is buying from farmers and other land types in the USA? Come back and tell me the acreage.
@@NicholasMoreau "charitable" lmfao
He's buying the farmland though a trust, to keep it as farmland FOREVER....@@NicholasMoreau
Cedar Point/Six Flags should have bought it to have another park in Ontario. It’s a great location and lots of space and could alleviate some of the traffic at Wonderland.
Nah. There’s no reason to place another park in Ontario. Especially because they’re making so much investments in current parks
i hop six flags or cedar fair buy it and remove all animals and turn it to a normal park and expaned it since as of now it looks like a forest with rides and so creepy i know it could be hard to get lots of costomers cause canadas wonderland hes more fans but still they could try to make it look normal
Six Flags still has animals at some parks.
@@slumpdogyt just discovery kingdom witch ill never go to
EXA
MarineLand is such a dump, im glad it’s sold. And I pray it becomes the park it deserves to be
My last time there was all the way back in 2009, and even back then, it looked depressing.
@@noname-ot7vd I went in 2010 lol !! Very sad and depressing place ! Still happy I experienced it but it wasn’t worth the time 😂
its the uglyist park in the world hate it
@@corybourrier9722I went in 2011 and same story. I expected so much more based on the commercials. The sky screamer was closed when I went and most of the restaurants too.
Imagine a Mack extreme spinner at the entrance.
Its was purchased as a Land gtab. Prime realestate in the Niagara region.
If it was sold, likely the buyers find potential in the park sans animals.
Rebrand the place and just drop HUGE rides!
Imagine if Drake purchased the park. 👀
Six Flags Marineland or Six Flags over Canada or new logo?
This won't happen.
Already have Six Flags right across the border. Plus they are struggling keeping the parks they do have open.
it should become a disney park or universal studios park really canada just has one six flags park and one cedar fair park
What's wrong with a petting zoo along with the rides? Get rid of the cetaceans...
Ooh!!!! Ripleys!!! Make it an aquarium. I know they had their eyes set on building one next to Great Wolf Lodge (which they own), but got a better deal with Toronto. Putting another one at Marineland would make sense AND they wouldn't have to change the name.
I really hope the new owners just shut the place down.
Seriously.
It should’ve been shut down 20 years ago.
It will be a land development.
The land is way too valuable.
No offense but i really don't care about Marineland. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
i dont ether ill stick to wonderland
Until it finally catches up
