In April this year I received an e-mail that was short, to the point and sweet.
Hi Mark
You still in Show Biz?

That was it. 5 days later I was on a plane heading for Kuala Lumper and working in the Head Design Office of the Sanderson Group fleshing out 13 new shows and attractions for "Happy Land". "Happy Land" is a Movie Theme Park similar to Warner Bros Movie World on the Gold Coast and is to be built 1 hour from Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.
That design office was the most creative and exciting environment I've ever worked in! It's a very interesting project as it's the first western themed park ever built in Vietnam and the people of Vietnam can't wait for it to open. This kind of opportunity doesn't come around that often and everyone involved on the project is pumped. Not only is the Sanderson Group building the park, producing all the shows and attractions with the help of Ozworks Creative and Entertainment but it's also going to manage the park once it's opened to the GP.
Development of the Movie Themed park is moving at a hectic pace right now with construction beginning in November 2011 and completion by mid 2013.
