Mirabel may take off as theme park

Archiseek / Canada / News / 2006 / February 22

Can the white elephant that is Mirabel airport become a swan? French investors are prepared to stake at least $100 million that it can. At a joint news conference yesterday at the vacant airport, a French consortium and Aeroports de Montreal announced an agreement in principle that would see Mirabel's bright and spacious terminal converted to an indoor activity centre called AeroDream (Reveport) by 2007. The "recreational multiplex" would be open seven days a week, year-round, and include a beach, spa, fitness centre, conventional and high-tech theatres, discos, arcades, museum, exhibition hall, TV studio, shops, restaurants and a giant aquarium, complete with acrylic tunnel that people could walk through to see the fish.
