The renovation of the New York Aquarium in Coney Island is definitely "being watered down because of soaring costs." The original design would have been shaped like a whale and draped in blue LEDs but Jotham Sederstrom reports that the cost has shot up from $125 million to $200 million. A source says that "in terms of priority" a new shark exhibit "comes first." Just as we'd feared, the shark kills the whale. [NYDN; previously]
