3D Museum W


hen traveling around the world as I often do over the summer I often see


innovative new attractions in overseas locations. This summer has been no exception as I stumbled across the ‘3-D Museum’ here in Thailand. It has three locations already here in Thailand including Bangkok, which obviously means the concept has garnered some success. Although the name here does functionally describe the attraction, the name ‘Museum’ possibly does not do justice to this attraction and I think a well-researched name change here might be in the offing. This attraction is an opportunity for visitors to take pictures in a variety of


realistic settings of all sorts. You can choose from being of the front cover of a magazine, to a gondola in Venice, to standing on a death defying bridge or holding up a car in Times Square in New York City. It’s all great fun and we know that every tourist just loves to take pictures. This may be the photo spot attraction of the decade -possibly even outdoing the photo opportunities on offer at a wax museum. Unfortunately he attraction’s food stand was closed when we visited and


there was no gift shop, a shame as I could envision the sale of many props to use in the pictures. This concept would fit almost any themed attraction and would give the visitor a chance to memorialise themselves as part of almost any scene or theme. It is relatively low cost to construct and really does not need much in staffing other than security to make sure no one damages any of the elaborate sets that are available for use, as sadly one set was indeed damaged. It is a hit with visitors of all ages – giving them a chance to create their own commemorative or fun photos.

Paramount and LRCH discontinue licence agreement for planned entertainment resort


L


ondon Resort Company Holdings (LRCH) and Paramount Licensing Inc. have jointly agreed to discontinue the licence agreement for the proposed entertainment theme park and resort, based just outside of


London. LRCH have stressed that this announcement will not have an effect on the timing of the planned Development Consent Order (DCO) submission for the resort in November 2017. Humphrey Percy, CEO, LRCH, said: “We want to express our sincere


thanks to the many members of the Paramount team who have worked with us since we took over the Project in August 2013. We are working closely with the local authorities, landowners and local community, as well as our other stakeholders, and we very much look forward to showing our plans to the public as part of our final stage of consultation prior to submitting later this year.”
