It looks quite small.

Dear members and non-members,

themeparX is about concrete and verifiable theme park project and construction updates.

Posts discussing the weather of the UK and Spain, or whether a Paramount Park in Murcia would be personally preferable over a Paramount Park in London, and vice versa, render these threads useless for those looking for project status updates.

Please understand that we will delete such posts in the future.

Thank you,

It is pointless talking (or more accurately arguing) about Murcia. The project has been planned for Kent. End of story.

The tourist figures for Murcia are not misleading, they're correct. You guys are just clutching at straws. No private investors in over four years. One thing Spain isn't short of is land. It would make much more sense to build it close to a major city or tourist region, not in a poor, rural area.

The point missed here is that the site is only 15km from the Valencia region southern boundary including Alicante and Benidorm -- Alicante is only 1 hour away, Benidorm 1:30. So the percentage numbers for Murcia only are very misleading.

The figure for Murcia tourists was a little low.

There were 60 million visitors to Spain in 2013, so 1.24% of that figure is 744,000.
Still a tiny, tiny number.

At the moment, the only argument for Murcia is that it's sunny.

Let's look at some figures.
Population of Murcia - 1.47 million
Tourist visitors to Murcia - 650,000
Murcia currently attracts 1.24% of visitors to Spain.

Population of London - 8.3 million
Visitors to London - 16.8 million
Plus another approximately 12 million people living within an hour of London.

Looking at the number of potential customers, why would anyone give a second thought to Murcia?
The figures don't lie. No wonder the chap trying to build it hasn't raised any money from private investors.
He can't even pay the Spanish government the €12 million his football club owes in tax!

By the way, Malaga is not close to Murcia. It's 400km away.

We'll with that level of income you can afford the flights and spend you money helping the poor Spaniards. Don't forget you won't need your rain coat as we have 300+ days of sunshine and had a frost once in five years. Any investor will pick Murcia close to Alicante and Malaga. With flights all over Europe and more visitors than London.

Where is Murcia!? It's not 19 minutes by train from London on the HS1 line! London is booming, property prices are one fifth higher than anywhere else in the world and West End rents double that of New York. Crossrail is extending. I own 8 properties in and around Ebbsfleet. In five years my assets have increased by £1 million. Back to pre crash levels. I do room on room accommodation. The good thing about London is it is International. Hence London Paramount. Murcia. Do people on the planet know where that is?

I moved to Kent in 2003. I made from nothing a business now worth £2.3 million. In 5 years time, once London Paramount opens, all my properties will do accommodation nightly. Similar to Alton Towers. I have 21 rooms within walking distance of the new park.

I cannot wait. A new business, a new vision. I have worked out that my new B&B business will bring in £613,000 a year. £6.130,000 million in 10 years.

My assets by 2019 in and around Ebbsfleet will increase from their current to £2.8 million. By 2024 £3.85 million.

Ebbsfleet the New Garden city. With Eastern Quarry building 8,000 homes. A further City evolving around Ebbsfleet, Bluewater, London Paramount.

If you are a business owner you cannot fail to be in the New Garden City.

Kind Regards,
