Not for non-themepark fanatics

hahahz...my plan has finally been fulfilled, disneyland has been built on the shores of sunny singapore. yar lar...joking one la...how can they build here...we dun have a large population within a 50km radius and i doubt many of us will want to spend $70 bux for a 1day theme park ticket...correct hor? yes, correct(cuz i won't do that too often, thus, the themepark cannot be sustained for long). but the photoshop plan below shows a possible scenario(which will never ever happen) if singapore has a huge huge population(i.e. more than 10million), and a disney themepark being built on the empty land of marina east... the disneyland map which u see below...is the tokyo one(cuz it's the best). realised that when disneyland is being plonked onto marina east...there is still enough room to build another themepark(the future themepark expansion outlined in blue). plus...there will be a monorail train linking the themepark with the IR that is going to be built in the Marina bay area...ahhahaz...wouldn't that be great~!


but this is pure fantasy...singapore will have theme parks(ala cheapskate Escape) but can its rides be on par with mega parks like disney and universal? i dun even think that Escape is even FIT to be called a themepark. why? first, there is no theme...without a theme, how can a themepark exist? 2nd, themeparks are supposed to take one out of the real world. hmmm...how many times have u been into Escape and still feel that u are in a neighbourhood in pasir ris? lastly, the rides are plain carnival rides, not much standard at all...thus i am still waiting for that day to come...singapore gahmen, please do something k? why did u(gahmen) reject universal and genting's offer to build an IR with a universal themepark in sentosa?! i was almost hyperventilating when i knew abt the news that universal's coming...but when it was rejected...i almost died k...(paiseh for the exaggeration). so sad right? singapore's only chance of getting a world class themepark is gone just like that...hur hur...

i am just so jealous of the HK pple...they get their own Disneyland... Now singapore will lose out to them in terms of tourist attractiveness liaoz...hurhur...

ps: i tend to get all emotional when i talk abt things i like, so, this entry might sound abit angry, haha...

41st day in cast...
