The project was heavily delayed long before the ringgit went down. It's just an excuse, albeit a good one, and it's good to have a more realistic opening date.

The project was heavily delayed long before the ringgit went down. It's just an excuse, albeit a good one, and it's good to have a more realistic opening date.
Genting Malaysia has pushed back the opening of its 20th Century Fox theme park by a year, setting a 2017 target as the ringgit continues its slump over the past year, a report said.
More information: www.themalaymailonline.com/money/article/gentings-movie-theme-park-project-delayed-over-weak-ringgit-report-says
Highlights from the park will include:
1) More than 25 acres of land, featuring more than 25 rides and attractions from media based rides, thrill rides, dark rides, to children’s rides, and water rides
2) Rides and attractions based on Twentieth Century Fox blockbuster titles like ICE AGE, RIO, LIFE OF PI, ALIEN, PREDATOR, and NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM (additional film build outs to be announced)
3) The Dream Parade, featuring a one-of-a-kind, animatronics parade based on all characters and titles represented at the theme park
4) Retail merchandise and themed food and beverage outlets
Anybody aware which rides are going to be build and who will be the manufacturer for the rides?

MayBank IB on Genting's Twentieth Century Fox World:
Source:'We understand that it took a while to blast the bedrock beneath the site. That said, we understand that 20th Century Fox World is still scheduled to open by late-2016. Recall that its opening date was already delayed from 1Q16 to 4Q16. We understand that the 25 rides that will be installed there are being fabricated at another site and the housing for the rides will require less than a year to construct.'

What month in 2016 will this theme park be completed?
Does anyone know who is the contractor for this project?
