Plans, which currently include over 4.5 million square feet (400,000 m²), consist of 20,000 hotel rooms, an indoor aquarium, an indoor re-creation of the Erie Canal, a stadium and performing arts center, three golf courses, and a 100 acre (400,000 m²) glass-enclosed indoor park. The project has encountered a number of delays and has yet to get underway, however company officials assure the public that the massive project is moving forward.

Anchor stores including Lord & Taylor, Kaufmanns and JC Penney are battling the Pyramid Companies in court over the expansion plans. Pyramid is attempting to use eminent domain to seize lease rights from these tenants, who oppose the disruption to their store layouts and feel that expansion could redirect traffic away from their stores. A real estate consultant for Federated Department Stores, owners of Lord & Taylor and Kaufmanns, has advised them to close its Carousel stores should lease rights be seized.[1] Eminent domain (US), compulsory purchase (United Kingdom, New Zealand, Republic of Ireland), compulsory acquisition (Australia) or expropriation (Canada, South Africa) in common law legal systems is the lawful power of the state to expropriate private property without the owners consent, either for its own use or on behalf of...

Additional facts - The Carousel Center was home to the last-built and last-existing Bonwit Teller store. Pyramid had purchased the struggling chain in 1990 when Bonwit's bankruptcy threatened to leave the then-under construction Carousel Center without its most upscale anchor store. It closed in 2000, and was replaced by H&M. Some of its glamour can still be noted, such as elegant railings and a covered drive-up.
- The 1997 movie Blowin' Smoke, originally titled Freak Talks About Sex, contains many scenes filmed at the mall. The mall is also mentioned in the 2000 movie Snow Day.
- The Carousel Center has its own zip code, 13290, and post office. This post office operates as a "postal store," and is thus open regular mall hours, including Sundays and holidays.
