Paramount Themed Park Planned For Spain – Financing Still In Progress

There is exciting news coming from Europe with regards to a planned Paramount theme park, including a major Star Trek attraction. As we have seen overly optimistic reports before, like those coming out of Las Vegas about the supposed 2010 return of Star Trek: The Experience, TrekMovie double-checked to be sure that the project is real. And according to Paramount, the project is genuine, however the financing and details are still not final.

For the last few months a group of European developers and Region of Murcia, Spain have been working on a plan to create a new theme park in the south of Spain. The Paramount Murcia Theme Park is envisioned as a competitor to France’s Euro Disney, with rides and attractions, many of which would be themed around Paramount films. TrekMovie has confirmed that Paramount has given a license to the developers, but the project is being financed locally in Spain (and financing has not been completed).


Last week at a public meeting in Murcia, the developers along with a representative from Paramount outlined design plans for the project. The plan is to create a number of themed areas, with one called "Future Plaza", here is a description via SimplyNetworking.es:


This zone submerges visitors into the fantasies of Star Trek, which promises total immersion, action and adventures awaiting in the form of the most advanced integration technology and special effects. Visitors can participate in a spectacular 4D battle environment in the War of the Worlds, fighting off alien invaders using the most advanced movement simulators which exist.
