    Wow so I just located it and based on satellite imagery it turns out that there had been a lot of progress on the structure and from reviewing archived satellite imagery it appears that it's just sitting there untouched for the past two years at least. :/

  2. A business scam that involves false claims of establishing a Jurassic Park-style entertainment and resort complex is making the rounds as a result of the rising city-building fever in China. Local governments frequently fall victim to this scam. The most recent victim was the government of Daqing, a prefecture-level city in the west of Heilongjiang Province, northeastern China.

  3. That thing looks like Restless Planet in City of Arabia, Dubai. Huge promise, little bit of Jurassic, and then a lot of residential property popping up all around. Given that Daqing is at the end of the world I bet it's never going to happen!

    Article from October 2012:

    The international design firm Thinkwell recently announced that it had finalized the conceptual development and design of Jurassic Dream, an indoor theme park under construction in the city of Daqing, located west of the Heilongjiang Province of China.

    Scheduled to open in 2014, this world-class theme park will send visitors millions of years back...

  8. The LA Times article dates back to last year, which means they broke ground in March 2012.

  9. China's Jurassic Dream is racing toward a 2013 grand opening with plans to double the size of the dinosaur-centric indoor theme park within three years of the fast-tracked debut.

    Designed by Burbank-based Thinkwell Group, the 20-acre theme park will be located in Daqing, a petroleum-rich city of 3 million people in northeast China that has been the site of numerous dinosaur fossil finds.
    An indoor theme park was really the only feasible solution for an area that experiences temperatures that drop to 20 below Fahrenheit in the winter. The upside of an indoor space, of course, is the utter lack of wind, humidity, rain, heat or cold.

    Crews broke ground on Jurassic Dream in March after a double-time design phase. Outdoor construction must be completed by October before frost renders the ground impenetrable.
    The first phase of 14-attraction Jurassic Dream will be larger than Nickelodeon Universe indoor theme park at Minnesota's Mall of America, smaller than South Korea's Lotte World, dubbed the world's largest indoor theme park, and about the same size as the 21-acre Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi.
