Seems the Korean one is pretty impressive...our local one leaves more to be desired at their pricing...nevertheless...its SW! hehe

You are right...SSC doesn't want to spend much I suppose...

One more thing, Korea Web Site there isn't any English Text...so just click on any links and tabs to explore...

Looks like the Korean exhibition budget can eclipse Singapore's anytime.

You're darn right. The Korea event looks a lot bigger than Singapore. So sad.

Sigh, still didn't get to see the "Simulator"

... wonder why?

It would seem like, other than a few minor additions such as the visual effects zone, blue screen zone & etc, the main displays are pretty much the same. But on closer inspection, i do spy Anakin's Podracer & Jedi Starfighter! Still.. overall i dont expect anything to be significantly different...

I would agree that the Korean one is better, bigger, more, orderly from Ep I - VI. If only they had held it at suntec, like star strek last time.

the irony is that the organising company went burst after star trek world tour at suntec city which last for 2 months

bear in mind that one level of suntec city cost S$20,000+ in a day ... if AoSW is hosted at suntec city, even for occupying just one level, it will cost S$3 millions rental (5mth x 30days x S$20k) ... do u think the door sale and merchandise profit can sustain this cost?

Btw, i hav some pic of the star trek world tour here ...

yeah lor...local companies attempting to do so would be suicidal based on Dr's calculations....unless GL himself sponsors to bring it here on a large scale...haaa...

That is not a star wars item... it is belonged to SSC for their other uses...
I dun know why they placed it in the diagram but they covered it up for the AoSW... hee hee

Stimulator.......

I mean Simulator

is "spoil" lah and the current program doesn't fit the SW-Space Theme contary to its Fish Exterior. It always get spoil anyway cause the ride is pretty rough and some things do happen.

Anyway, FYI it's ISN'T Free; Adult is $4 and Children $2, plus handled by the VSC Staffs. And you can ride it over at the Omni Theater.

Why was it in the diagram? Maybe it was intended to be used but something came up making it unusable. Or they can't spare the space for it to move around or deem too dangerous for such a limited staffed exhibition.

It's anyone's guess.....

well, if u can reconfigure the simulator to make ppl sitting inside feel like being chased and blasted by an imperial star destroyer ... just like in ep.4, hehe
