Gatorland is on fire

One of Florida’s oldest attractions is on fire

“Most” of the animals are okay.

:frowning: I never got to take the Ivykids. We never got around to it. Now it looks like it’s gone.

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Not mad at you ivylass, but the “news” services. Gatorland is on fire. And it makes the news.

Did anyone notice that a huge retirement community burnt to the ground in Saxonburg PA? Nope. Nothing. Nada.

<sigh>

This one?

I’ve been. I’m sorry some of the animals were killed.

I went several years ago. Okay, it’s the height of tacky-tourist but it’s been around since 1949 and is a Central Florida icon. I hope they can rebuild it.

Apparently there were some salamanders in the gift shop. :frowning:

The boss said he got there at 5am, and everything was fine, then about an hour and a half later all hell broke loose.

That’s a pity. I went once when I was a kid, thought it was pretty neat. Hope they can rebuild it.

:frowning: I have been twice, and loved that place. It was more than just a cheesy tourist attraction, it was a beautiful breeding sanctuary, as well. I am very sorry to hear this.
