Siam Park Opening NOT for Public
Perhaps it was right for me to be cautious (alright, cynical) over the news about Siam Park's opening, as Colin Kirby reports in Siam Park, an open and shut case that, "... the inauguration is behind closed doors for dignitaries, politicians etc and it will not signal the opening to the public."
Whist I understand about the trials needing to be done, perhaps they shouldn't have announced any dates until all of that was complete? It's not just the date of the not public opening ceremony, but various previous and missed opening dates for the park and, reports in the local media (in which the park have clearly participated), suggesting that everything is imminent.
People were excited and interested about the prospect of the theme park once - or at least there were plenty searching for information - but I'm surely not alone in wondering if this perpetually "not quite finished" project can maintain interest until (or maybe if) it ever is ready to receive visitors.
And considering that the building work is more or less complete then it's pretty lame that the official website still says "Coming soon" and what images there are on the site, are still bad Photoshops and artists' impressions.
