Matthew.Brendan Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Is this dead? Stalled? Seems to be zero news after first announcement a year ago. It's a unique concept for sure, but pretty risky vs a more traditional amusement park with coasters and other rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinman Posted November 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 I had forgotten about this. I found an article from June stating that financing for the project had not yet come through and the land was not yet purchased. This may be dead by now. Work has yet to start on Avatron theme park (paywall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
