dbo:abstract
  • Der Ontario Place ist ein Freizeitpark im kanadischen Toronto. Der Park befindet sich auf drei künstlich errichteten Inseln im Ontariosee, etwa 4 km westlich der Downtown und südlich des Exhibition Place. Neben Wasserrutschen und Wildwasserbahnen bietet der Park ein in einer geodätischen Kuppel untergebrachtes 70-mm-IMAX-Kino (Cinesphere) für 800 Zuschauer. Auf dem Gelände wurde im Mai 1995 eine große Open-Air-Bühne (Molson Amphitheatre) eröffnet, auf der bereits viele internationale Künstler aufgetreten sind. Am Ontario Place befindet sich eine Marina für etwa 240 Boote. Der Bau des Ontario Place geht auf die Provinz Ontario zurück, die in den 1960er Jahren die Waterfront Torontos aufwerten wollte und einen baulichen Gegenpol zu den Bauwerken der Expo 67 in Montreal schaffen wollte. Baubeginn war am 17. März 1969; die damaligen Kosten beliefen sich auf 29 Mio. Dollar. Architekten waren Eberhard Zeidler, Craig und Strong. Am 22. Mai 1971 war die offizielle Eröffnung mit einer ursprünglichen Fläche von 360.000 m². Durch Landgewinnung wurde später die Fläche auf rund 566.000 m² erweitert. (de)

It has since reopened as a park without admission but without several of the old attractions. The Government of Ontario is currently considering further redevelopment of the site. Since the closure as a theme park, several of the venue's facilities have remained open, once reopened, and one section was redeveloped. The Budweiser Stage operates during the summer season. The Cinesphere, the original IMAX theatre, reopened with new projection equipment and shows films regularly. On the East Island, Trillium Park and the William Davis Trail opened in 2017. A marina, sheltered by three sunken lake freighters operates seasonally at the site. The exhibit "pods", several pavilions suspended above a lagoon, have remained closed after the closure of the Atlantis event facility. While much of the West Island's facilities are permanantly closed, some of the natural spaces are now being used for recreation. Occasionally special events are hosted in the west island village.

  • 安省遊樂宮(英語:Ontario Place)是一座位於加拿大安大略省多倫多的多用途文娛設施,由安大略省政府擁有,並由安大略省旅遊及文化廳轄下的機構營運。場所建於三個座落安大略湖湖畔的人工島,位於多倫多市中心以西約4公里。場所內大部分設施—包括一座水上遊樂園—只限於每年的五月至十月營運,但場內的IMAX影院和私人娛樂及宴會場所則全年開放。 遊樂宮由建築師艾伯哈德·蒒德勒(Eberhard Zeidler)設計,耗資2900萬加元興建,1969年3月17日動工,1971年5月22日開幕,場內的球状影院(Cinesphere)是全球首座永久性IMAX影院的所在。遊樂宮首年度遊客量達250萬人次,但到了2010年代初期卻跌至每年30萬人次。 2012年2月1日,安大略省政府宣佈遊樂宮改建及翻新計劃。遊樂宮內大部分設施將被關閉,當中包括IMAX影院和水上樂園,預料每年將為省府節省2千萬元。戶外音樂場所莫爾森劇場(Molson Amphitheatre)、私人娛樂及宴會場所、遊艇碼頭和停車場則繼續對外開放。省府並邀請前安省進步保守黨黨魁莊德利領導一個顧問委員會來研究遊樂宮的重建方案。省府期望遊樂宮重建工程可於2017年或之前完工,以便慶祝加拿大立國150周年紀念,另外部分設施預定於2015年泛美運動會開幕前完成。委員會於同年8月向省政府提交報告,建議將該帶發展成多功能社區,加入住宅、商業、科研及教育、和文化娛樂等用途,並獲省府接納。 (zh)

  • The first time we saw it was in October 1968, when the architects brought in this small model and laid it before us. It was nothing but a few pieces of balsa wood, some pieces of black plastic and a half tennis ball sticking up. I remember thinking 'Oh my God – what's this we're getting?' (en)
  • We shall utilize the natural setting of the waterfront, modern structural designs, and hope to create the mood of gaiety and openness which helped make so popular the Ontario Pavilion at Expo '67 (en)
