Gatorland Moves Forward

Gatorland Breaks Ground On $4M Complex - Orlando News Story - WKMG Orlando: "ORLANDO, Fla. -- Nearly one year after a fire raged through Central Florida's oldest theme park, officials at the Orlando attraction broke ground on a $4 million complex. Gatorland officials on Monday started building the complex, which will replace its famous alligator mouth and house a gift shop and the admissions area, Local 6 News reported.

A three-alarm fire blazed through the attraction Nov. 6, destroying the park's 7,000-square-foot gift shop, entrance and some administrative offices and killing two 8-foot pythons and a 5-foot crocodile.

'I'm sure we can get that mouth reconstructed. Granted, it won't be exactly the same, but we will have the mouth back,' park official Heather Goodwin said after the blaze."

If you aren't there to cut the ribbon on opening day, there's no justice in this world.
