- Ontario Place opened two days ahead of the original deadline. Attendance was lower than anticipated when the gates were unlocked on May 22, 1971, possibly due to patrons fearing crowds. Only 300 people waited that morning for the park to open, which caused provincial officials to delay attendance questions for as long as possible. While reviews of the debut attractions were mixed, the Cinesphere was an undisputed success, with line-ups up to 90 minutes long.<br /> <br /> <em>Ontario Place under construction, 1970.</em> Ontario Place: A Government of Ontario Project <em>(Toronto: Ontario Department of Trade and Development, 1970).</em>
