They could always close the park if they want to a big rebrand instead of replacing sections at a time. They would still probably be able to get this up and running before whatever they'd build in the UK, and that's assuming they get all the necessary approvals to build there.
I just can't see...
Everything looks incredible. Celestial Park and Berk are going to be the highlights for me.
Looking forward to the full attraction lineup, though calling a dancing fountain an attraction is definitely a reach...
This forum is very Anglo-centric so you’re never going to convince a lot of people here that building somewhere in the EU makes more sense over the UK.
But yes, I have to agree that building in the EU automatically gives them a bigger potential market. Spain and France are the most visited...
I think it depends more on the return they can get at each location. Building in the UK might cost less, but could they spend a little more to end up with potentially double the amount of visitors?
There are a lot of pros that PortAventura has over building in the UK imo. Salou is already...
It's nice that the land purchase is confirmed but hard to really get excited until more plans are revealed and there's an official groundbreaking. There have just been so many unsuccessful proposals to build a "world-class" park in London and the UK. Of course, with Universal financially backing...
Politics/rumors/insiders/etc aside, a park makes more sense in Spain vs the UK just based on the weather alone. Will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
The Asia and Africa lands don't represent their entire continents either. I don't think Disney themselves said "Tropical Americas" so I'm assuming they'd go with a different name if this actually does happen.
Really hoping that the "Tropical Americas" name is not official since this would basically just be South America. Not sure why Indiana Jones is included when the IP already has a decent presence (and room for expansion) at Hollywood Studios, but I guess it does fit.
Mainly glad to see the...
Forbidden Journey and Spiderman take up about the same amount of space, so there was opportunity for something even better there. It's not terrible, but definitely a notch below the other E-tickets at the park imo.
