The OdySea in the Desert management team has been informed by Ventura Entertainment, the parent company of Dolphinaris, that dolphins will not be part of a new attraction slated for the former Dolphinaris space. Ventura representatives confirm with OdySea in the Desert that no live animals will be incorporated into their new entertainment concept.
“Ventura Entertainment has assembled a team of top creative minds to execute a completely novel, engaging attraction, but it will not involve animals of any kind,” said Ran Knishinsky, Partner and Chief Marketing Officer at OdySea in the Desert entertainment destination. “We are excited to hear more details in the coming months regarding this new project.”
Ventura Entertainment, one of the biggest and most influential parks and attractions operators in Mexico and Latin America, will release more information as they confirm final plans on the new attraction.
Despite Dolphinaris’ closing, the remaining attractions continue to operate while OdySea in the Desert is working to expand its multi-attraction entertainment destination.
