Tonight they officially opened their Monaco section...which had basically been sitting there for years, though cordoned off...because the technical mastermind of the two, Gerrit, was adamant that he first perfectionize his 1/87 scale version of the Monte Carlo Grand Prix. It took him and his team eight years until it was satisfactory for him. The total cost for the Monaco section alone consequently ran up to five million euros.
Tonight Monaco's ruling Prince Albert and his wife Princess Charlene, along with their two daughters, actually attended the opening in person. The (much more extensive, but not quite as sophisticated technically) Italy section from a few years ago had to settle for the Italian ambassador to Germany. The new section, by the way, also includes a miniature re-enactment of the 1956 wedding of the Prince's parents, Rainier III and the former Grace Kelly. They kept that scene in black-and-white because everyone only knew it in black-and-white.
See for yourself how the effort turned out. The following video is even in English for a change. Anyway, time for me to get my next year ticket for Wunderland.
