Dells: Outside the window in the Chula Vista lobby, all you see is
white snow, but Mike Kaminski sees white tigers. "We plan on adding
about 500-600 square feet right in this area. It will be a themed
jungle habitat." </p>

<p><br></p><p>Kaminski
is the CEO, and he's asking the Wisconsin Dells City Council for
permission to build a tiger enclosure. "The habitat would become a
permanent home for two of what we call the sub-adults; two years old
and younger."</p>
<p><br></p><p>The Chula
Vista has something of a southwest theme now, but adding tigers
wouldn't distract from their message, it would compliment their magic
show. Jeremy Allen's Grand Illusion Show will be playing seven days a
week this summer. "He works with cub white tigers in his show, so
everything just started to develop from that perspective," says
Kaminski.</p>
<p><br></p><p>"It will be a big
billboard for their magic show that involves smaller tigers yet too,"
says Mayor Eric Helland. He says the city has to approve a zoning
variance for the animals. He says concerns over animal welfare and
public safety have been addressed. "This is a creative idea and we're
there for the public safety aspect of it. When we can merge both of
them it works out well."</p><p><br></p>
<p>"We're
very excited about the opportunity," says Kaminski. Putting the tiger
enclosure off the lobby gets them maximum exposure. "You'd be able to
see it as you drive in and register. You'd be able to see it from
lobby, and you'd be able to see it from some of the corridors, as well
as waiting in the queue line for the magic show." </p>
<p><br></p><p>Kaminski
says they hope to have the tigers in place by the end of summer. He
says they plan to use an animal service to rotate the tigers every six
months.</p></span><br><br></td></tr></table><br>
