^ we are relying on you for daily construction updates!

Oh, don'y worry. I'll post photos tonight once I get off work!

I love/hate how this table writes 'feet' after every height...except the last two. The lack of consistency and the thought to not include it in the column heading is somewhat annoying.

And yeah, that's my biggest takeaway from the project for now.

It is illustrating, though. The table is not very professionally made, with the Six Flags parks not being referred to by their full name, same as the coasters that have numbers in their name. The sudden lack of units in one of the columns also suggests they didn't proofread this before sending it out. And if they're not even bothering to proofread, they don't come across as very serious, and you may begin to question how thorough they've been with this. Is it a set of serious plans, or a quickly thrown-together pitch designed primarily to bait investors?

Or in other words, construction is expensive, but concept art is cheap. They've cut corners on the presentation, which makes me wonder what other cut corners there are.

Looks exciting! When is it due to open?

Never.

Quoting the PDF: "Construction on park to begin in in Q1 2021 and is projected to open in Q3 2024"

I will only believe it as soon as construction starts.

Let's place bets on which happens first: one of these or London Paramount?

This 2016 post on page 9 still is relevant today. Both mythical projects with no signs of construction after years of concepts and announced partnerships.

I mean to be fair in my line of work I've seen plans and bids from some of the biggest companies in the world like Exxon, Shell and Gazprom that look like they were proofread by Ralph Wiggum.

I'm not saying this is going to happen but poorly produced pdfs are not too uncommon ?

Finally something to look forward to in this thread.

It was the 'Latest State of the Art VR Attractions' that caught my attention.
Hundreds of people a day sharing headsets.
Next big thing.
Calling it now.

How long until this is the Polercoaster?

How long until this is the Polercoaster?

Can't wait to see multiples of these SBNO all over the world and to think about it Ocean...
Why are they seemingly continuing to push with a model that seems to have awful issues resulting in inevitable closures

How long until this is the Polercoaster?

I thought that looked as if it might be alright - until I saw it was one of those spike things!

 

[Hyde]

So wait... this is kinda the concept, right?

Vegas now too?

Many tenants are in development, including new nightclubs and a vertical rollercoaster that will be built on the roof of the complex.

“We have air rights all the way to the moon and back,” says Neonopolis owner Rohit Joshi. “So we can create tall, expansive experiences.”

He says the so-called Poler Coaster will open in about three years.

New movie prop museum coming to Neonopolis in Downtown Las Vegas

Tiana Armstrong says it’s impossible to pick a favorite. “That is the actual animatronic hat from Cat in Hat,” she says, pointing to a red and white striped movie prop. “We’ve got horror, sci-fi, here’s the Magnificent 7. These costumes were worn by the actors. ” As co-owner of the Movie Prop...

Just to put the final nail in the coffin, the 13-acre Skyplex site in Orlando is now on the market, and CBRE is handling the sale, seeking bids that propose new uses for the land, which could include a resort or residential buildings. Skyplex Ownership spent more than $54 million on the project, so seeing how much they recoup will be interesting. Source
