| | According to this article, John Emery, the CEO of Great Wolf, is quoted as saying, "The Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara Falls, Ontario, being built by Ripley Entertainment, will be licensed from and operated by Great Wolf Resorts. That property is scheduled for completion in early 2006." |

| | | The development will have two attractions: a 90,000 sq foot Great Wolf waterpark, and a 115,000 sq foot Ripley's Aquarium. as well as a resort.

| | | They are building a GWL near me. It should be pretty interesting to see how it competes with CamelBeach (a water park in the same area) during the summer months. GWL is really expanding.
It should be nice to have a indoor waterpark alongside a Ripley's Aquarium, which I hear are very nice. |

| | | I heard the Ripley's Aquariums are cool, and I just went to the Museum here in Orlando on I Drive the other day, that was pretty interesting. |

| | | I feel kinda bad for Marineland. How can they compete with the Ripley's one which will be open year round? |

| | | Well, MarineLand will still have the rides, whale shows, and a bigger aquarium so they'll probably do fine.

| | | I believe Marineland's planned aquarium expansion will be indoors and open year round. |

| | | well i went to great wolf lodge in KC yesterday and was somewhat disapointed. i thoguht it would have been much bigger from what i heard about great bear lodge in ohio. it was fun though, i really liked the green slide with unexpected bumps n what not. i lliked playing tricks on peo9ple in the treehouse too
7/10 for lack of slides and activities
