It'll be the largest, most intricate, most technologically advanced miniature display anywhere right here in New York. [Tim Gilman-Sevcik, Artistic Director] Jonathan Swift created Gulliver's Travels as a view on the 18th century. It was a mirror of the society as he lived in it, and we want to be able to do the same thing with the 21st century. That's why we chose the name Gulliver's Gate, because you can enter this world, interact with it. You can be a part of it. We can represent the entire world in small. [Michael Langer, VP, Development] So Gulliver's Gate is going to be more involving and more interactive than any type of miniature model in the world. And one of the key things is to be able to transport ourselves and the people that come over into another time and another place within the model. >> We are going to have cars and planes and trains and boats and ships and balloons. >> It's a love letter to the world. Exactly. >> We love our tourists. We love the people that are coming from across the country. This is our love letter back. [Stacey Walthers Naffah, CMO, Walthers Model Railroading] We want people to be able to walk in and see a wonderful miniature world of somebody's imagination, There's a fantastic one that is succeeding, and it's in Germany. [Our Inspiration, Miniatur Wunderland - Hamburg] It's in Hamburg, Germany, Miniatur Wunderland. [Over 1.3 million visitors last year] I guarantee that if a family walks in they're going to have a great day. They will be amazed. They will share a special experience. And I can't wait to bring my kids there. Our team has the capability, the knowledge, and the experience to really make this project happen.
