That's quite amazing. A Malaysian company built and runs it.

Here's what they spent on the place, I would have thought it would have cost more.

According to figures published by the company, Tropical Islands has spent EUR 23 million on further development and expansion work. The original total investment sum announced was EUR 75 million, including a EUR 17 million subsidy from the federal state of Brandenburg.

They lost a lot of money during the first few years, they need over a million visitors a year to break even. After adding overnight lodging business improved and in 2008 they turned a profit.

I bet something like this would do great in the northern US and Canada - if it had a casino included.
