Gatorland would like to take this opportunity to thank Central Florida teachers for a job well done by extending complimentary admission to them and one guest, during the months of September and October, for going above and beyond each and everyday to make education fun for the children in their classroom.
Teacher’s looking to explore Gatorland must present a photo identification card and proof of employment, from one of the surrounding counties, at the time of admission. Complimentary admission will be extended to the teacher and one guest (adult or child) and may not be used in conjunction with fieldtrips or group outings scheduled at the attraction.
Alligators Diagnosed with L.O.A.D Disorder at Gatorland
Dozens of giant alligators with “Lack of Adrenaline Disorder” will head into retirement as the theme park debuts a new leaner, meaner Gator Jumparoo Show
It’s out with the old and in with the new at Gatorland as the theme park debuts a new leaner, meaner Gator Jumparoo Show this month featuring forty powerful and young jumping alligators (6-8ft in length) trained for a shot in the spotlight and a chance to snag a few chicken’s off the line (store bought of course); “Chomp!”
The new Gator Jumparoo Show will feature a 360-degree viewing area, double the animal interaction and of course a chance to see Bubba and Cooter run from forty of the most ornery varmints at Gatorland; now that should be some real entertainment!
Entertaining and amazing, the Gator Jumparoo has captivated audiences at Gatorland since 1983 when Frank Godwin built a platform in the middle of the lake and strung a cable across the water to hold catfish filets just out of the reach of gators below. He would then raise the cable up and down to get the gators to jump at different heights. Encouraged by cheers from the crowd, gators quickly began leaping out of the water one by one in a dramatic attempt to retrieve a tasty treat from the line above.
Now, what about those big, ole gators who are about to lose their starring roles? They are scheduled to meet with the doc for a good ole’ fashion physical before saying goodbye to the action of the Gator Jumparoo Show. But just like many of today’s celebrities and sports figures, you can count on some of the crowd favorites such as “Boggie” the bottomless pit at the Gator Jumparoo Show, finding their way back into the spotlight at the all new Giant Gator Exhibit opening in 2010.
White Alligator Christmas at Gatorland
Gatorland is pleased to announce the return of the giant white alligators to the White Gator Swamp on November 20, 2009 and to celebrate Gatorland is bringing back the Florida Resident promotion that knocks $8.00 off adult admission rates; allowing a family of four to visit the theme park for less than $60!
The four ivory colored reptiles were temporarily removed from the exhibit while initial breeding introductions were conducted. Alligators are very territorial, and the introduction of a new animal into the environment can be a very tedious process; especially if it is a good-lookin’ female with 82-razor sharp teeth!
After a successful introduction, a normally solitary alligator will become more social as the weather warms in early spring. Alligator courtship begins in early April and climaxes in mid May through the beginning of June. Most of the actual mating occurs in April and May, and the female alligator will lay eggs in June. Approximately 65 to 68 days later, hatchling alligators will emerge from the eggs.
