W1.6trn 'Ferrari World in Paju' scaffold prepared to resume business
Funding does not seem to negate the possibility of progress even raised the game "Ferrari World in Paju 'project which was promised from the Middle East, investors Given the initial capital investment in some projects laid the groundwork for resumption.

Paju investment business team official "Ferrari World in Paju investors in the Middle East for the construction of a special purpose company (SPC) of the nominal capital of $ 2,000,000 transfer to the domestic banks," he said on the 25th. Investors in the Middle East based company, Al Ahli Group (AAG) is AAG the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the trading and distribution business, including shopping centers and 15 affiliates are geoneurigo.

Ferrari World in Paju pajueup 3,720,000 ㎡ one luxury car maker on the grounds of 'Ferrari' car entered into a licensing agreement with theme parks and cultural facilities, commercial and residential development is to build a compound. Sponsor of Business Gateway Investments in capital of 50 billion won for the project, the company projects (PFV) is '㈜ Paju Eurasian Development' is promoting the establishment.

Business from overseas investors, according to organizers 30 billion won (overall 60%) and △ local government procurement government-funded institutions, including 2.5 billion won (5%) △ construction investors 5,000,000,000 won (10%) △ funds, banks, securities firms, financial investors 2.5 billion won (5%) △ strategic investors such as Ferrari World operators 10 billion won (20%) of plans to raise 50 billion won in capital.

That the business' surrounding areas, including donor support USFK special law in accordance with providers for more than two thirds of the site is not secure and may apply even if the urban development projects. Due to the U.S. military presence in Korea to encourage the development of underdeveloped areas is a sort of incentive.

Business officials "the acceptance of land after project approval to proceed because it can reduce the burden of the initial capital" and "theme park operators in the Middle East, including the participation of foreign investors with the know-how to the business case is high," he explained.

This was going to be part of the track there but they are probably going to lose the race as it's not been a big hit so I can see why it's going somewhere else.

From what's been said the other Ferrari world is not doing well so I hope they learn from mistakes there.

^ I honestly thought Paramount would happen, what with having Daewoo backing it and the land, complete with Paramount hoardings surrounding it, ready to go.

Wishful thinking I guess.

This thread has been stickied for almost eight years without an update, which I think is some sort of record for these forums. To put it in perspective, Gavin's post above me was made two months before the thread about that indoor coaster in Kiev. Neither Mission Ferrari in Abu Dhabi nor Dragonfire in Qatar were announced until the year after this thread last saw an update. As far as stickied construction threads go, this one is a true veteran a few notches above the rest.

So I decided to ruin the streak by asking around about the status of the project. Thanks to @Y. Kim, we can now confirm that Ferrari World Korea has been cancelled ... in 2016.

I'm sure you're all surprised and shocked about the unexpected twist this development has taken.

Thread unstickied.
