The cost of entry pass is over expensive. If a family has 4 persons, entry cost is rm1k. Plus accommodation and meal, all may costs rm1.5k per day at least.
If I remember correctly when I visited Disneyland, Anaheim and Cedar Point, Ohio way back in 2003, the entry pass costs USD150/pax at each location. Also, try comparing the cost of visiting Universal Studio in S'pore. Holiday trips are times when u need to spend $$$. The cheapest holiday I can think of is to stay at home and watch TV :-)
"That estimate is based on ticket prices for the themed attractions it will introduce within the tower, which will range between RM10 and RM60 per ticket or an average of RM35 per ticket and a total of 500,000 visitors per annum."
There are about 10 attractions there. So the The Limited Edition Privilege Card costing RM280 is reasonable.
Closed at 2.33 in extremely thin volume. Looks like EPF selling is not significant today. But unfortunately there is also no good big sharks. Really need to wait till April? CIMB please do something.
Soft opening in Apr where some attractions will be up and running. 59Sixty fine dining restaurant is already operational. The grand opening is expected in July where all attractions will be operational.
As expected, EPF ceases to be the substantial shareholder of OWG with another disposal of 171,100 shares bringing its holding to only 4.964% (< 5%) starting 8 March 2016.
So, their transactions after that cannot be traced.
The actual revenue from komtar may come in owg starting Q3 or Q4 2016. In Q1 n Q2 16, owg may start to absorb additional operating cost like salary, utilities, maintenance n others from komtar project. I don't think owg will have good profit in Q1 n Q2 16. This is my concern. Therefore, I still not buy it back.
@8wpwtmt8, they didn't say which attractions w be ready in Apr but just said a few only. For those who bought d special pass at Matta Fair, they w b invited to d grand opening in Jun/Jul to get a feel of all d attractions. If u want to get some great deals, do hurry to Matta Fair to get them.
According to Johny Khong, there are going to be a soft launch in April 2016 where only a few attractions will be ready. After that there are going to be a grand launch in July 2016 where all attractions will be ready and multiple entry pass holders are invited as VIP. That means got to wait until July 2016 for the OWG share price to spike up. Must be patient and do not panic.
@8wpwtmt8, I think EPF is trying to rebalance its OWG holdings among various portfolios. The current acquisition is thru Citigroup. Wat was it when EPF became substantial shareholder previously?
Dear Johny Khong, 5.721% on 22 Feb 2016. Can you see on Monday, the block sales of 1505(00) shares at RM2.30 and on Tuesday 1050(00) at RM2.27 were sure to be done by EPF.
And now CIMB will not come out with the April soft launch coverage stating the reason no change to the target price of RM4.06. They might revise the target price in the grand opening in July where all attractions are open to public.
I hope you are right, Robert168. My wife starts nagging me why I choose this OWG share. She nags me why I did not take profit at RM2.50. Now everything back to square. I also don't know how to answer her, just say CIMB target price in 2018 is 6.65 and I don't know it falls back so fast due to EPF dumping.
I was hoping next month (April), OWG will go up when Komtar opens. But now they said only a few attractions will be open with only a soft launch. That means no exciting show to see.
Now they are rushing for the grand opening in July where all attractions will be open to public. OWG and the state government will hold a press conference at that time. Another delay with four more months to go.
Bro.. Just patiently wait for it.. Busy top up for pass few days.. Once komtar completely refurbish.. Will totally another iconic place at Penang. Penang government is working together with owg to ensure this project is successful. And also don't forget another catalyst.. Genting new theme park..
Dear EPF, OWG is in deep oversold position falling from a high of RM2.54 on 22 Feb to a low of RM2.26 now (15 Mar) for 16 market days. Time to jack up to attract ikan bilis to follow. Even though it is just a soft launch in April 2016, OWG deserves RM2.35. Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase.
robert168 Let see how it goes for long term.. Don't judge it so fast! Nah !!! Gengster like u only... Overall the group is doing good. They have the long term business and this counter is not related to oil and gas.. 18/01/2016 20:29
OWG keep buying what others panic to sell . This is what so called ,肥水不流外人田 keep the goodies within the family . Lets ride the roller coaster~!Winner never quit.!
