Poor Mr Cousen did his best. Its the guys behind that are the real crooks, Sir Terry Leahy and Paul Mercer. Tony and Chris was kicked out over a year ago by the owners Terry and Paul.

The price might be a bit steep but considering it is a day event then really the price isnt that high. Combine that with the fact that to travel and enjoy Thailand is relatively cheap overall. I had some friends come back from Europe and they took a 45 min gondala ride in Venice that cost them about 80 Euros, work that out in Baht for 45 mins. Sure a ride through the streets of Venice is a must but seriously there are far more expensive venues in the world that offer a short lived stay.

I think it's really risky to build something like this water park in a place that is surrounded by beaches. We'll check it out but I'm not to crazy about the price.

To compare themselves with Disneyland is enough already. But then the launch price was DOUBLE the price of HK Disneyland. Now, supposedly, they've cut the price in half. But their website still has prices of THB1500, valid until April, 2010. We're at the end of June. They can't even update their freaking website? And I'm supposed to have confidence that the park is well managed? Here is definitely one traveler that is going to skip it this time, thanks.

Completely overpriced! Rumor has it that this is the most expensive water park in the world!

Approx USD 56 per adult and 32 for kids. Mom, Pop and a couple of kids will cost you about $176. LOL. That is before food but as the guy said includes transportation from certain pick-up points.

Grabbed from elsewhere "Dreamworld in Bangkok is $16 baht all day at farang price with rides, waterslides, etc. it is just crazy to pay $ 56 for this and insulting that it is the 'local' price."

Suckers.
