Ripley's - Gatlinburg, Tennessee
The Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg, Tennessee is the most attended aquarium in the United States with over 2 million visitors a year.
Every turn brings a new and captivating aquatic view, truly art in motion. This project was a desigh/build and consisted of an abundance
of tanks and exhbits, but the six major installations were:
1. Simulated Rainforest 2. Touch Ray Bay: Shallow for petting and deep end for living. 3. Rainbow Reef: A pristine artificial coral reef.
4. Eel Tank 5. Grouper Exhibit and 6. Dangerous Reef.
Many of these installations are viewable through the 320 feet of the underwater tunnel with a moving walkway.
The prefabrication took 8 months and installation was another 7 months on site.
Additionally, DLM Corp created 15 inserts, shipwreck and a traveling exhibit on the Titanic.
An astonishing feat in the time
alloted and we are exceedingly proud of the results. Opened in December 2000
