Princeton residents Kyle Majkovsky and Richard Wannameker visited the amusement park last year and plan to pilot new features at the mall again.
“We have a lot of malls,” Majkovsky told NJ Advance Media. “But we’ll take a 45-50 minute drive to get here, because it’s so big, it’s more than an evening. It’s an entertainment center.”
That’s the developer’s vision, Kermesian said. More Disney, less shopping center.
“We put a Ferris wheel in a mall and don’t call it an experience,” Kermsian said. “We are pioneers.”
