Awesome display. I saw a documentary on Discovery Channel (I think) about the building of the island. Sick *****.

Were you unable to find a story about penises today?
 
Beautiful place but a little too pricey at the time for most travelers. I too saw the documentary on the building of the island.
 
A spectacular light show was put on at the unveiling of the new $1.5bn marine-themed facility built off the Gulf coast on an artificial island in the shape of a palm tree.

Organisers claimed that the fireworks display for the $20m party could be seen from space.

Oof!

Absolutely beautiful, but a tad excessive and expensive.
 
Wow.

That was incredible!

I guess they have the money, so more power to 'em.

I remember that Discovery Channel documentary as well. Such an unreal undertaking.

Was this the smaller or larger island? I remember they had two palm-tree shaped islands and then were also creating a range of islands shaped like the continents of the world. They were selling some of those islands to individuals.
