The Mayor of Alhama de Murcia has issued a statement saying “there is no going back for the Paramount Theme Park in Murcia”, and that the project already has investors in place. In addition to the Mayors statement it has been officially announced that Proyectos Emblematicos Murcianos SA (PREMURSA), the promoter behind the Park, will be purchasing the land designated for the project at a cost of 15.8million euros in February 2012.
The land in question is in Alhama de Murcia and extends to just over 1.8million square meters. 0.8million square meters will be used from the Theme Park and the rest for the Lifestyle Centre, which includes 7 hotels, restaurants, bars, nightclubs and a business district with modern offices, an auditorium and conference centre. The Paramount branded Theme Park plan was unveiled in Madrid in October 2011 and will require an investment of more than 1billion euros and create 25.000 construction and operational jobs. It is predicted it will attract more than 3 million visitors each year from around the world and the same again from the domestic market in Spain. Internally road systems are already in place and a high speed railway network is in the planning stages. The new airport at Corvera is just 20 minutes from the Theme Park location and the airport will be operational for international traffic before November 2012. |
