lujanit Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 If the company that owns the SuperPark has gone bankrupt, members are now unsecured creditors. The bottom of the pile. From the article it is not clear if Finland ran the SuperPark, well a 49% share or if the operators ran the park under some form of license. Either way not good news for the members. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a stretch don't you think? The Superpark was not for tourists, it was for Thais. I took my kids there a few weeks ago and it was very impressive and the investment must have been massive - in the millions of dollars. But it was expensive. Too expensive for your average Thai family and therefore doomed to fail. An unfortunate failure as it was a cool place.

So it was built for Thais but priced them out in favour of tourists... when the cash cow left it crumbled. My post stands, the house of cards is falling, not a stretch of the imagination, a reality as you can plainly see. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telly Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Once the news came out with how much they owing, how many branches throughout Asia, and the stupid owner refusing to assist the franchisees, it's all tumbling down. The branch in Suntec Singapore was forcibly taken by the landlord 2 weeks back with a loss of 1.8M SGD. Let's see how the other branches fare.
