Coming Soon: Paramount Studios Theme Park

This is a really exciting news story that was featured in the newspapers and on TV news this week: the prospect of Paramount Studios building a theme park in the UK.  

I'm excited by this, not just because I'm a huge fan of rollercoasters, and a huge film fan, but also because it is at parks like this that new developments and experimentation with cinema get displayed, like I pointed out in a previous post about Disneyland Paris and Alton Towers exhibiting 4D films and Alton Towers being home to the 360 x 180 degree projection cube.  Who knows what exciting ideas they will have dreamed up by the time this park opens.

This is an excerpt from an article from the BBC website:

A £2bn entertainment resort which would aim to rival Disneyland Paris could be built in north Kent.

Developers have been granted a licence from Paramount Pictures to use its name on a resort on the Swanscombe Peninsula, near Dartford.
The scheme has been offered "support" by Dartford and Gravesham borough councils.
The site's developer, London Resort Company Holdings, is now looking for further investment for the project.
It estimates the park, which would be based on a former cement works, would create up to 27,000 jobs.
The 900-acre brownfield site is next to Ebbsfleet International station, which is 17 minutes from London and two hours from Paris
