The draft layout of the new Paramount Studios theme park planned for Alhama de Murcia has been revealed. It indicates an area equivalent to 109 football fields, with four hotels built around a 36.5 hectare theme park, plus an aquatic park covering almost 10 hectares. The main park is set to cover an area similar in size to Disneyland in Paris. La Verdad newspaper gave the proposed name as ‘Paramount Resort’. The paper went on to indicate that the outline design was drawn up last month, and representatives from Paramount were in Murcia at the beginning of March to continue working on the design with Proyectos Emblemáticos, the company which is investing in the park and which is 20% owned by the Murcia regional government. The paper cautions, however, that nothing has been finalised at this stage, and that the final master plan for the project will likely be presented towards the end of this month, when Paramount’s Executive Vice President of Licensing, Michael Bartok, is scheduled to visit Murcia. The resort is expected to attract an average of 4.5 million visitors a year. |
