The planned {{convert|1600|acre|km2|adj=on}} resort was to include a theme park as well as a water park, hotel, conference center, retail and office developments.[2] The size of the theme park was reported to be {{convert|200|acre|km2}} on opening.[3] The first phase was planned to begin in 2008.[4][5] The creator and founder of the park, dinosaur expert and author "Dino" Don Lessem, described it as a $500 million project with about 50 rides, including being inside a volcano, an ice cave, as well as coasters, and technologies that hadn’t been used before.[6] On November 17, 2010, Earth Quest was redesigned to cut the cost from $500 million to $300 million and to add construction phases. These changes were being made to secure and satisfy the project's investors.[7]According to the official Contour Entertainment website, the first phase of the project was to premiere in late 2012 or early 2013. In 2011, the company that owned the land filed for bankruptcy, and "no construction had begun" on the park. [8]Contour Entertainment has not repurchased the land for the park that was lost in bankruptcy. It was to be repurchased by December 15, 2013, but the date has passed.
