Krist Boo, Krist Boo, You Contradict YourselfHave you read Krist Boo's commentary on who will win the Sentosa IR bid in the Sunday Times, 3 Dec 2006? I laughed so hard reading it that I almost fell off my kitchen chair.Krist claimed to be evaluating the 3 bidders on the criteria given by the government. But Krist's comments were so geared towards Genting that it makes me want to puke. If you read

We don't need Universal Studios.I can't help by agree totally with Mike Thomas about Universal Studios. He evaluated and chided Universal Studios for becoming an out-dated "my father's generation" theme park in a commentary on Orlando Sentinel. (Read it here at http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/columnists/orl-miket0306dec03,0,6470951.column?coll=orl-news-col)It's true. The rides offered in

An Iconic Architecture, A Family Experience, A Star-Studded ResortYes and these claims are not just empty promises! Channelnewsasia, Straits Times and Today have subsequently rolled out articles on the strengths of Atlantis Sentosa."A Master Architect's Iconic Design!"Remember how Mr Marino of Harry's Island accused Gehry of recycling his designs for LV Foundation's Jardin d'Acclimatation museum

Replying pro-Genting commentsI thank Anonymous for referring me to two very lengthy commentaries by 2 supporters of Genting's concept. This entry is my reply. For those who are clueless, refer to this comment http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36830436&postID=116365652554880358&isPopup=true for a background understanding.Below are my replies.Both entries seem to target Harry’s Island, so I

Well, which great work in the world hasn’t attracted contentions?Harry’s Island and Atlantis Sentosa have locked horns in 16 November’s issue of TODAY!First Harry’s Island refuted Atlantis Sentosa’s claim of originality. They tried to tear down Gehry’s design but hinting that it was similar to his Jardin d’Acclimatation proposal. In the end, they made a fool of themselves when it was discovered

A truly out-of-this-world experience!Most of us are already familiar with the different offerings of each concept and enough has been said about who is having a bigger hotel, theme park or aquarium.But why do I fancy and support Atlantis Sentosa?It is because it offers more than just retail outlets, F&B options, exciting rides.It promises what a true integrated resort ought to be --- a holistic

What about people saying about Atlantis Sentosa?What are most of the foreigners saying?(Remember they will also be the tourists we ultimately want to attract!)“The combination of glass metal sheer is really unprecedented. There will also be aquatic AI sea robots, created by MIT… The design is really iconic, for a lack of a better word. Iconic is the keyword for the government bureacrats to pinge

The Buzz on 8th Wonder's Harry IslandPreviously, 8th Wonder's Harry Island was among the three IR concepts least noticed and covered. But following its recent release of pictures, people have been talking non-stop about it. Debates comparing its man-made waterfalls and volcanoes to Genting's Universal Studios and Atlantis' futuristic sails are invading forums and even the comments on my blog!To

A true icon or a safe integrated resort?For the past few weeks, it's no doubt that Atlantis Sentosa has raised the greatest 'wow's and 'ahh's out of the three IR bids featured in the news.Pictures after pictures of the Sails at Atlantis Sentosa has been splashed on papers, while Genting's Resorts World at Sentosa has been described as a 'tired' concept and Eight Wonder's “Harry’s Island” (a name
