First a museum and now an amusement park. It's getting better and better :)

"It's just right to get to the drawing table," says Helga Halldórsdóttir, a resident of Borgarnes. Helga plans to set up an amusement park based on the basic idea of Latabæ.
In the Gazette, a notice is published about Borgarnes Experience Company. The announcement is "Building a recreation for tourists in Borgarnes and surroundings, based on the basic idea of Latibær."
[..]
"The project is being reviewed by a group of people who are interested in establishing something based on Magnús Scheving's ideology," says Helga. "Magnús, of course, is Borgesing and has strong roots to date here in the province."
The group received ISK 3 million from the Western Cape Development Fund, and was the basis for the establishment of the company.
"In the next few days, we will hire a project manager, who is expected to work for at least six months, to investigate possible location and implementations for the park, as well as studying investor interest in the project," says Helga.
Helga says that Magnus, the first person, came to the job and that much would be done. He has created a name beyond the landmarks, and Latibær is, of course, a well-known mark on a foreign basis.
"The next six months is inventory time and then we have to clarify in July which next step we will take. It depends, of course, on investors' interests and other people who will be asked about their involvement in the project, "says Helga.
As previously mentioned, the project is at an absolute early stage and therefore it is unclear when the park could be opened if it reaches that level. "In my view, it would not take more than three to five years to make this happen," says Helga.
