Paramount Theme Park , Murcia, Given Green Light
October 2011: It was announced in Madrid that the proposed Paramount Theme Park
in the Murcia Region of Spain will definitely go ahead bringing great news
to the Murcia Region and the Murcian Property Market which will now see an
increase in interest from investors. .
The entire project budget is 1.1 billion Euros and it will have a major
impact on regional tourism with more than 3 million visitors expected
annually, comprised of both Spanish and international tourists. The theme
park is sized at 550,000 square meters and an adjacent, state-of-the-art
business and leisure complex is sized at 1,030,000 square meters.
"Paramount chose the Region of Murcia for this project because of the
exceptional qualities that make it a popular tourist destination. The
support from the regional and local governments is remarkable and we look
forward to creating a world-class destination," said Michael Bartok.
This project, which is one of the pillars of the development strategy of
the Murcian Region, will generate a total of 22,600 jobs through direct and
indirect employment (16,500 during the construction phase and 6,100 during
the operation).
Jesus Samper emphasized the certainty of the feasibility of the project,
with great confidence in both public and private profitability. "The
project, will become, without a doubt, the development engine of the
regional and local economy and will position the Murcian Region as a world
tourist destination.
"Alhama de Murcia has been chosen for the development of the first
Paramount Themed Park in Europe because of its outstanding and unique
geographic, historic and climatic characteristics. The region is ideal for
many reasons, including its 300 sunny days per year, its beaches less than
30 minutes away, its amazing natural and cultural heritage, and its
outstanding transportation infrastructure. Two airports, the new
International Airport of the Region of Murcia (opening estimated for 2012)
and San Javier Airport will provide easy access by air and there is also an
excellent road network between Madrid and the Mediterranean area. A new
High Speed Train line is expected to open in 2014 connecting Murcia with
the main Spanish capitals. Locally, Alhama de Murcia is perfectly
positioned between the main cities of the Region (Murcia, Cartagena and
Lorca), at a distance of less than 50 Km. by highway," explained Jesus
Samper.
The first Paramount park in Europe Parque Paramount Alhama de Murcia, will
become a major destination attraction with a completely immersive theme
park that brings the legendary films of Paramount to life.
The park, designed with exciting state-of-the-art technologies, will
include over 30 attractions designed to appeal to a broad spectrum of ages
and interests. There will also be 2 themed hotels located within the park's
boundaries as well as themed stores and restaurants that will be based on
Paramount properties. This story-driven park will quickly become one of the
most compelling theme parks in Europe.
Paramount Promenade provides a grand entrance to the experience and serves
as the main artery through the park.
In addition to an enticing collection of retail and restaurant offerings,
this is where Paramount Live, a live-stage-spectacular will be found.
The rest of the park is divided into 4 themed areas that transport visitors
into compelling scenes from Paramount movies: Adventure City is where
action fans will experience the most vivid and exciting scenes from movies
such as Mission: Impossible; Rango's West is based on the hit film Rango
and it includes Rango 4D, a Ragin' River Rapids ride and the Spirit of the
West Mine Coaster; Woodland Fantasy will become the favorite place for
children, as they are invited to sharpen their magic skills at the Stardust
Wizard's Workshop and embark on an interactive dark ride adventure at the
Spiderwick Chronicles; finally, Plaza Futura will be dedicated to thrilling
and other-wordly science fiction experiences based on Paramount films such
as Star Trek.
LifeStyle Center
-
a strategic center for business, cultural and leisure
activities.
Next to the theme park is the LifeStyle Center, a complex that will become
a core center for the business, cultural and leisure activity of the area
throughout the year. The LifeStyle Center will include top-quality
infrastructure, excellent hotels, restaurants, and leisure activities
delivered at such a high level that is certain to become an economic engine
for the Region of Murcia.
The Lifestyle Center can be divided into 3 main areas: hotel complex,
leisure area and business area. The hotel complex will include 7 hotels,
with service and styles broad enough to accommodate leisure and business
travelers. Four of the hotels will be 3-star hotels; two will be 4-stars
hotels, with a convention area, with particular appeal for business
travelers and event hostings; and finally, a 5-star hotel for the most
demanding clientele. The 5-star hotel will include a casino, adding an
attractive nightlife component to the LifeStyle Center.
Leisure will be another appealing part of this complex. The commercial area
will be integrated into a Street Mall of 150,000 m2; where the restaurant
and night leisure area will include space for night clubs and bars. In
addition, the LifeStyle Center will allow the exhibition of major cultural
events in its auditorium, exhibition room and large convention area -- a
collection of venues and high-level infrastructure that is not currently
offered in Murcia.
These new projects complete the major business and cultural offer of the
LifeStyle Center and will establish it as an urban center designed to meet
all visitor needs.
Adjacent to the Lifestyle Center, the commercial area will include a
state-of-the-art business complex that will allow the development of a true
financial hub for the region.
In order to facilitate transportation between the park and the rest of the
complex, the project will have a network of ecological vehicles. In
addition to providing easy circulation, the transportation system will
preserve the environment by supporting sustainable energy technology.
In short, the LifeStyle Center will become an important asset for economic,
cultural and leisure development in Spain and will also serve as a perfect
neighbor for a unique, world-class theme park.
The opening of Parque Paramount Alhama de Murcia is projected to take place
in spring, 2015, along with the first phase of the LifeStyle Center.
The new International Airport is due to open in Corvera Murcia in March
2012.
