We also have two additional flyover attractions in development. FlyOver Las Vegas is expected to open in 2021 and FlyOver Canada in Toronto is expected to open in 2022. We designed each flyover attraction with a seat capacity to meet the demand of the local tourism market. FlyOver Las Vegas and FlyOver Canada Toronto will be our largest thus far at 80 seats each, which is based on the significant visitation to these markets.

And I thought the "Faux Gehry" trend died with the Art Gallery of Alberta in Edmonton. I mean, even real Gehry is kind of tired and clichéd by now. I guess CLC's marketing department told the architects to make this look "fun" and "exciting" and "iconic" and here we are.

One look at their "revitalization project" at the base of the CN Tower is sufficient to determine that CLC's sense of architectural excellence is wanting.

Did they buy the cladding from ROM? And lordy, those strips on the landscape paving - it doesn't remind me of anything Canadian. It reminded me of blown over timbers at Mt. St. Helens.

Even if this building ended up being the greatest thing since Frank Gehry, I can't help think the narrative for this being built is still in the realm between a gimmick and a passing fad all served up with a cheeze sandwich.
