Fra den 20. april er det slut med at se dinosaur i midten af Bangkok.
Stedet lukker for at give plads til endnu et shoppingcenter og det har vist hele tiden været meningen og jorden har været lejet ud til Dinosaurne af Emporium gruppen indtil de var klar til at bygge.
BANGKOK — Two years after it opened, a dinosaur-themed attraction will close to make way for another mall.
A Dinosaur Planet spokeswoman said the attraction, which featured real fossils, animatronic dinos and 3D exhibits will close April 20 to make way for construction of EmSphere, a third mall to join The Mall Group’s Emporium and EmQuartier shopping malls.
“When we opened, we rented out the park’s land, owned by The Mall Group, for 10 months. Then we continually extended the contract,” Sunisa Kumin said Wednesday. “But now, we cannot extend the contract any longer.”
Sunisa said the Dinosaur Planet is not closing due to financial reasons, saying it made back its 500 million baht cost in the first 10 months of operation.
“It’s still going well today, with lots of visitors. On weekdays we get 7,000 to 8,000 visitors per day,” Sunisa said.
And where will the rubber animatronic dinos and life-size giants go?
“Lots of investors are interested in buying them to put in their own zoos and parks, like in Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam and Malaysia,” Sunisa said.
