ORLANDO, FL.: The arrival of the world’s largest collection of giant, white alligators at Gatorland made it possible for the 60-year old theme park to have one of the best summers in the theme park’s history.  To keep that momentum going the “Alligator Capital of the World” is bringing back the $9.99 (adult or child) Florida Resident Special for the month of September allowing visitors one more chance to stare into the eyes of these legendary beauties.   

The rare white alligator collection, featuring four of the world’s largest white leucistic alligators known to roam the planet, will officially close on October 1, 2009 for breeding introductions.  The four ivory colored male reptiles are very territorial and the introduction of a female into the environment can and may be a very tedious process.
