I thought construction was going to start this month. I hope they start it back up. I did send an email but I never got a response

This doesn't look good. Another abandoned Paramount-branded theme park project? Dubai, Seoul, Osaka, Murcia... how many more do we need?

There has been done nothing since the last time I was there, the first picture I uploaded to the website is of the first stone that has been laid at the site, just a block of cement, will keep an eye open and will post photo´s of the area every now and then to keep it up to date.

Meanwhile in Murcia, the location for the Paramount Theme Park scheduled to open in 2015, the Regional Minister for Culture and Tourism, Pedro Alberto Cruz, has said that he views Madrid and Barcelona’s plans as very positive as it confirms that theme parks are once again becoming fashionable. Not only that, but “they have become the cornerstone of regional tourism for tourism-orientated areas of Spain”. He added that the proposed schemes were “absolutely complementary” to each other and would generate wealth and economic productivity.

Cruz has just returned from America where he presented to potential Paramount Theme Park investors, a trip he made with Jesus Samper, the President for Murcia's Flagship Projects. He said the visit was “very positive” and that the project had been very well received. Cruz reiterated that, whilst financing has not yet been confirmed, everything is going on course, in the right direction and at the right speed.

Any progress since the groundbreaking ceremony?

As many Spanish businesses enjoy summer closing and holidays with family and friends, quiet progress is being made behind the scenes with Murcia’s Paramount Theme Park and the new Corvera International Airport. The news is positive and the Region is on course for an even brighter future.

The first piece of good news came from the Paramount Theme Park camp where a new agreement was formalised in July. This laid down the regulations for the construction and operation of the attraction and was signed by the Mayor of Alhama de Murcia and Jesus Samper, the President for Murcia’s Flagship Projects (PREMURSA). This agreement replaces the original which had to be modified when the amount of land purchased was slightly less than first intended. The local council has reiterated that the Theme Park is continuing “on schedule” and Samper said “every day saw positive progress”.
