ORLANDO - Gatorland officials say the 57-year-old attraction damaged by fire Nov. 6, will reopen Friday, two days later than originally expected. Guests will use an alternate entrance rather than the trademark giant alligator mouth that was charred in the fire. A crocodile and two pythons died in the blaze that also ruined Gatorland's 7,000-square-foot gift shop and some offices. A faulty heater in a reptile enclosure was found to be the cause.
