    Mr Palmer has refused to comment on the plans, and is believed to be saving his big reveal for friday's press conference.
    However, the Sunshine Coast Daily claimed it had received a tipoff from the same source who provided the it details of towering hotels and a giant ferris wheel, similar to the London Eye, at the resort.
    A spokesman confirmed Mr Palmer would hold a press conference in Brisbane on Friday.
    He has already revealed plans to bring one Hollywood blockbuster to life, and announced earlier this year he would build a replica of the ill-fated cruise ship Titanic.
    Mr Palmer's company Blue Star Line has signed a memorandum of understanding with state-owned Chinese company CSC Jinling Shipyard to build the cruise liner, with the ship's maiden voyage from England to North America scheduled for late 2016.

    Thankfully, the team has modernised the rescue equipment on board.
