The Issue

With the epic news that Universal Studios Experiences in future are planning to open & operate its own UK resort in Bedford, I thought for competition and as a suggestion, why not also a Paramount Park & resort proposed & idea re suggested? Am 100% excited to finally the UK getting a movie Hollywood styled world class resort style theme park coming to UK for 2031. But at the same time, occasionally look at London Paramount Resort, Murcia projects plans and think, what if they still could happen? Especially as a potential competitor for this new resort in Bedford? But maybe not in Swanscombe, where London Resort Company Holdings with Paramount London planned a resort before? But instead land outside Canterbury, Kent either between Canterbury & Thanet Parkway? Or Canterbury & Wye? Giving Kent another chance via access on Highspeed & mainline railway services from London via Ashford International stations?  Aswell upgrades to local road infrastructure? Via new roadways off M20? Closer date of reopening Manston Airport passenger terminal? With flights connecting to rest of Europe? Maybe even world?  To a new Paramount resort, located again in Kent? But this time, in a better location? With maybe access via Ramsgate Port? Cruise terminal for cruise ships to stop in, offer excursions or trips to stated park? Resort aswell local areas? Via a one gate park resort or two with one studio park like Universal? But Paramount? 2nd Gate involving a mix of IP's & original attractions? Maybe even Disney IP's? Warner Bros? Aswell various? Accommodating various cruise liner companies like Disney, giving all visitors access to a Disney themed area in one of parks? 

 

I think this is an theme park resort that should be reconsidered to be brought back, but not in Swanscombe, Kent, but somewhere outside Canterbury either towards Thanet or towards Ashford directions? With the likelyhood of Virgin Trains, Gemini via Uber and Evolyn potentially stopping at Ashford International & the reopening in future for Manston Airport? I think this would be a missed opportunity especially for location, type of resort and amazing most of infrastructure already in place. If agree with what is stated? Would love to see this happen? Please Sign, Comment if like to and share, really do believe this is worth considering. Cheers for reading & hope with right support Kent could have either a Paramount Park resort or world class theme park of its own? Maybe even a good suggestion for Merlin Entertainments? Selling up some of its parks and attractions? Focusing on a one big world class 2 park theme park resort? Similar to London Resort? But Merlin?
