I have no clue. It wouldnt need to be as tall. Talk to a couple of maintenance people to see what the est costs would be.

2 billion yen, so roughly 200 million dollars throw in American inefficiency and id say a rough number would be 280 million

You're off by a zero, $2 billion yen = about $20 million USD.

Neither here nor there but I believe the retractable roof at Sha Tin cost 54 million (US dollars, not HK) .....

Didn't realize they had anything similar in Japan.
