Developers have revealed plans to build a huge £2billion Hollywood-inspired entertainment resort in Kent.
Paramount Pictures has given permission for its name to be used for the proposed development on the Swanscombe Peninsula in a move that is expected to rival Disneyland Paris.

The resort, which the company hopes to open in 2018, would be located near Ebbsfleet International station, which is just 17 minutes from London and two hours from Paris.

The earmarked 872-acre site is nearly twice the size of the Olympic Park in Stratford.

It is expected to feature Europe’s largest indoor water park, rollercoasters, cinemas, theatres, hotels and live music venues.

The site's developer, London Resort Company Holdings, estimates that the project would create up to 27,000 jobs and is now looking for further investment for the project.

‘Over the next 12-18 months we will be progressing the planning application, while embarking on a wide-reaching programme of community consultation, while securing further commercial agreements with third parties.’
