Any updates?
Universal would never be looking themselves, Shauney. These are licensing deals. The local developer pays the Hollywood IP a hefty annual fee just to announce the project, and then during construction all the way up until opening. Once the park is up and running, typically a revenue-share deal kicks in.
Hi all
I am looking to buy a holiday home in the Murcia area and just wondered is this project dead now or is there a chance that someone like Universal Studio's could look at the area?

The cancellation of the Paramount theme park in Spain has now been confirmed.

The new airport, Corvera, is opening in December which is very close to the land for this park, although it is reduced by 20%. Maybe someone else will look at this and resuscitate the idea. If UK goes for a hard Brexit then that would put off visitors (long customs queues, visas, etc). Then this could be a better option than London.
Officially the last nail in the coffin.

In 2012 a law had modified the boundaries of the regional park of the Sierra de Carrascoy was cancelled. This means that about one-fifth of the land purchased by Paramount for 15 million euro in 2010 can only have an agricultural use.
