A new themed visitor "experience" based around the film Dolphin Tale has launched at Clearwater Marine Aquarium, Florida, US, which aims to increase visitor numbers.

Oldsmar-based theming and design studio Wacky World Studios was behind the installation, which incorporates a new entrance façade for the Atlantis Theater.

Wacky World Studios president Bruce Barry said: "The entrance to the theatre was almost invisible and the aquarium wanted something that would attract a visitor's attention."

Clearwater Marine Aquarium first opened in 1981 and is home to Winter, the dolphin which starred in Dolphin Tale.
