A little over a week ago, Gatorland park in Orlando, Florida suffered a major fire. The fire charred the giant gator head landmark entrance to the park. It was also responsible for the deaths of 2 snakes and a crocodile. An investigation determined that the fire was caused by a heating pad.
Gatorland is planning to reopen the park on November 24th. Their original plan was to reopen on the 22nd but Gatorland President Mark McHugh said
The construction would’ve been completed, but in order to handle our guests safely and efficiently from the new entrance, I believe we needed another day to work out our operations.
Gatorland will use temporary admission gate near the Gator Wrestlin’ arena until the main entrance can be rebuilt.
