Looks like a fantasy ? Well, let's see how time bring this fantasy to reality.
The Singapore Sentosa Integrated Resort, Harry's Island, is based on the fictional founder of the resort, "Hurricane" Harry O’Brien, who was born in Raffles Hotel in 1900.
The brain child behind this, Mark Advent, Chairman of Eighth Wonder.
Advent says, "Harry’s Island is not a blueprint for a project that we intend to build anywhere else in the world. There will be only one Harry’s Island, and that Harry’s Island will belong only to Singapore. It will become the crown jewel of Southeast Asia." Well said! Clap Clap. Have great expectation for this project.
'Toybox and Boardwalk'
Some catchy stuffs on Harry's Island :
1) First ever ride restaurant where each night the roof of the restaurant will literally blow off while guests are dining. ( hmm if the roof was blow off and a giant appears, it would be interesting lol)
2)There will also be a Pelé football stadium and football academy, surrounded by a hotel named Gol! with the possibility of premium views of matches and events held in the stadium from the comfort of the hotel room. (though you have the comfort from the hotel rooms BUT there's a reason why people are willing to pay for tickets to watch exciting matches in the stadium.)
3)Those wanting other forms of entertainment can look to the centre of the resort which will have the Caldera Theatre, that will use waterfalls as curtains to open a nightly spectacular show that will be free to the 7,500 visitors it can seat. (hmm it would be a fabulous magical effect right ?)
'Aquarium'
49 hectare area will be allocated to the Integrated Resort, in four zones named: Premium, Adventure, Waterfront and Ocean Planet.
IT's
Eighth Wonder says that with their proposal, they will create an estimated 15,000 permanent jobs, attract 15 million tourists by 2014 and generate S$5.6 billion in induced visitor spending by 2015.
