Knott's News: Yeah, I know this is old news but I've been a little occupied as of late. Since I don't subscribe to this news outlet and won't for a single article, I'll have to work with the headline as my one source of information.
From what Google Translate says, Trio-Tech landed a near $10 million contract to make Voyage to the Iron Reef for Knott's. I feel like most people are assuming this is the overall attraction budget, and with such limited access to the article and limited understanding of the language, it may very well be but the fact that they specifically say "contract" makes me think that figure doesn't represent the complete attraction budget but instead what Trio-Tech is getting for their contributions. After all, Trio-Tech has publicly stated that this is the largest contract in their 15 years of existence (wouldn't make sense if that was the budget, as it's roughly the same as Guardian) . From what we know, Knott's designed (or co-designed, they haven't been clear) the attraction in-house and any physical sets or scenic work will be handled by them, including the queue and show building. I suspect these aspects of production weren't included in that number.
As it is, this is all speculation and I'm anxious for more information maybe shedding a little more light on the physical aspects of this attraction (definitely curious as to what the show building will look like and if the surrounding area will change at all).
