Who said anything about the person from BP owning it???? I wrote that he invested in it.
The co-founder is a person from Israel. He and his fellow co-founders started this project on Kickstarter where people got a chance to invest in it. One of the investors was somebody heimish from BP.

Irving Langer is from the 5T. ( I don't know about his brother...)

Unless you're referring to the Kickstarter? People usually give a few dollars on Kickstarter- there may be many heimishe people that invested on Kickstarter....

Wasn't referring to Langer, he's a co-founder. Was referring to someone who invested, more than just a few dollars.
Let's just say it's Jewish owned, it's getting too complicated Smile

Lol, according to the article the whole Kickstarter raised only 20K- how much could he have invested already? I would assume that for a project of this size 20k is bubkes..

Eta: The article clearly says that this is a 40 million dollar project and the Langers are investors. I wouldn't consider someone that invests 20k in a 40 million dollar project an owner .
But you're right, it's certainly Jewish owned.

That's what I said originally. He's an investor. I'm not sure the exact details (and I will assume he invested off Kickstarter, because I agree that 20k for 40m project is a joke and from what I know, he definitely invested more.) But I'm not sure how they worked it out, if he has a percentage or stake in the company. I just mentioned this detail because I thought it's cool. Let's forget it. Let's just say it's owned by someone in Israel and another Jewish person from NY.

I thought the article said the Langers are brothers- maybe I read too quickly. I only know Irving, not Michael...

Eta/ I stand corrected. The article makes no mention of the relationship between the Langers- I don't know why I assumed that they were brothers

There was a recent thread on this which you should be able to find by searching, or perhaps somebody can post the link. I believe it's even more expensive than Gulliver's Gate, and its duration is even shorter.

http://www.imamother.com/forum.....29983 The only thread I can find was this, and there are no responses yet. (I just bumped it up.)

Here's the thread (it comes up at the end of page 2 and mostly on page 3):
http://www.imamother.com/forum.....art=0

I also received a follow-up PM to that thread. I won't include her name since that's private, but I assume the info she sent me could benefit others, so I feel comfortable sharing it:

Hi, I wanted to let you know we went to visit. While we really enjoyed and it was very beautiful I feel like it wasn't worth the money. It is geared more for kids. DH and I were bored at certain parts, but my son LOVED it. It was over pretty fast, and for $40 a person it wasn't worth it. If it would be a little cheaper it would be a great place to take kids.

They had a mirrored maze which was fun, they also had a 3D show. Then they had a section where the kids could stand in front of a screen and move their arms and a sea lion moves accordingly.
At the end there is a section where the kids could play games and color.
It is a beautiful place, and made very nicely, though expensive.

I personally know one of the partners from BP. He happens to live on my corner. Davens in the same shul as DH. Has a huge real estate office in willi, my brother works for him. He recently treated all of his employees there for a trip.
