Romania to build Dracula Theme Park...
-
BUCHAREST, Romania, (AP) -- Romania's prime minister has reassured investors that the government plans to back the building of a Dracula theme park.
Adrian Nastase's comments came just days after his new tourism minister, Miron Mitrea, said the park wasn't a priority for the government and that private investors must take a leading role.
"I will fight for this project to be accomplished," Nastase said on state television late Wednesday. He also described plans to build the park as "a private project that will be supported" by the government, but did not elaborate.
The government has pledged to provide the land needed to build the park, which is to include a gothic castle with spooky effects, golf courses and a hotel.
The planned location in Snagov, an upscale lake resort near Bucharest, is close to the burial site of Vlad the Impaler, the real-life Romanian prince who inspired the Dracula myth.
A feasibility study indicated that the park would likely earn millions of dollars in profits and attract hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists a year.
However, a year after being launched, the project has become idle because no major private investor has come forward with the estimated $15.6 million needed to build the park. Last week, 8 percent of investors sold their shares.
Nastase, who personally invested about $3,000 in the project, said he would keep his investment in the park because it would create jobs and revive Romania's tourism sector. -
