They are temporarily being held at Dalian Laohutan Ocean Park until the stadium can be completed. It is estimated that they will move to the park between December 2017 to March 2018. As of now, Shanghai is planning on housing four Russian orcas.
According to a chief executive at Haichang, the theme park will mainly be complete by May 2018 and two months of trial operations will take place during summer 2018.
