Please don't mock. That's not the point here. And It's always faster to build from scratch than from occupied plot of land.

I've just seen that some subsidiaries or the whole group are restructuring which doesn't sound good. Perhaps Vinpearl from Vietnam could buy and finish it or perhaps another international group (Six Flags, United Parks & Resorts, Paramount, MGM)?

"A growing dynamic
Parc Spirou Provence has created a real dynamic among its visitors, some of whom have become loyal ambassadors over the years. The Season Pass allows enthusiasts to return at any time during the season to enjoy the attractions and events.

"We want families to be able to share their time together and get to know each other better". Hervé Lux, CEO Parc Spirou Provence.

With new activities and major investments every two or three years, the park's appeal continues unabated. Hervé Lux's ambition is to continue expanding the site: "The mix of traditional attractions that families love, such as the carousel, and thrill rides for the more adventurous, is essential. Land reserves are still available. The CEO and his teams are planning to create new play and leisure areas and have some big surprises in store for the public between now and 2024 - 2025."
