Yup. I was at a pre-release event a few weeks ago and the presentation was amazing. It's ambitious for sure, but their plans are truly impressive.

I like the move to more northern habitats. Ala Polar Park. and Al Oeming's game farm.

I like the direction of having more animals from Canada. I can't count the number of times I've had guests from other parts of the world that just wanted to see a bear, moose, or just a deer and wondering if there were sanctuary type places or something where they could see such animals (not just chance encounters in nature, or even Elk Island where it's still chance to see anything but bison). The best I could do was take them to a zoo that had camels, red pandas and an elephant.
