Will we be getting a theme park update from Europe soon?

So far, Universal Studios London has been a big hit in Britain, but it certainly will have some competition when Bally opens the Worlds of Wonder in Glasgow in 1999.

Meanwhile in Spain, EuroDisney is doing well. Paramount is weighing their options on a proposed European Pinnacle park. Milton Keynes has once again come up as a potential home, though it would have to be indoors to be year-round. So far, Paramount has been importing a lot of BBC material to the US and Canada. Besides MK, there are two Italian sites Paramount is considering; Valmontone and a potential joint-venture with Cinecitta on a possible park in Rome (On the OTL Cinecitta World site).

Either way, the UK theme park is very different here without the monopoly of Merlin owned parks running the place, certainly competition will be more interesting.

Anybody ever heard of Old indina funpark. It cloosed due a teriable ride accident in 1996. Primer Parks (funtime Terico ATL) bought it out in 1997 with plans to give it a mass update but they dumped the plans after buying six flags in 1998. I wonder if the funtime terrio bought out old inida shortly before turner bought it and if he would cancell the refursiment of old indian. Adavagtes for the revamp include that the park has 320 accres and is conventaly located half way between indianpolis and layffet. The dissavagetes are the parks bad history and the fact that pratually all the old acractiosn were sold off to other parks. If the park is revamped I would suggest renamming Planet Turrner ( I conffess some one else came up with this idea) Turrner Town, Turrner Wood Turner Vale or Turner World

Would Nolan get the chance to adapt all of the major DC superheroes? There seems to be a sense of finality with JL3.

If anything, I'd prefer to have the Deadpool duology as an animated series on the Fox Network or FX, rather than a couple of live-action movies.
But, that's just me.

I'd place the second Pinnacle at Valmontone. Milton Keynes would require a different layout for the park, while the name of "Paracitta" would be too embarrassing to attempt the venture.

Oldnavy I belive you said that the CearFair Paramont Deal was falling through is falling through. However even the turner fun time deal a hit legal snags but it succed at the last minute Could the turner cedar fair deal squeak by. If not I Suggest Cedar Fair merg with Keenywood entement or bushc entement or stay inpenendt. If ceaar fair stays inpdent I would suggest they buyout Fesita texas lake compaone Williams grove park or maybe even whalom park. Whalome park is the park that feel that cedar fair would be least likely to buy. IT is small but it is quite hisotric. The advage of merging with keenywood is that they a good kid friendly ip. Keenywood bought Ildewild and Ildewild made a deal with Fred rogers for fred rogers neobiohood trolly dark ride Thus camp snoppy could be replaced the neiborhood of imagaiton .If cedar fair stays indpent I would Berenstain Bears Cliford the big red dog or tomas the tank enigne. Does anybody have any sugestsions for. IF

@Mitch!

Finally, on a lesser note, there are the rides and attractions, based on Columbia-TriStar and Jim Henson properties, coming to all of the Six Kings parks. Why would Henson opt out of its deal with Universal, and how should visitors, to Six Kings, “experience” Henson’s creative legacy?

Henson felt like they were getting the short end of the stick from Universal.

One of the few parks you havn't as belonging to funtime terrico is the second park park that terico bought Wildworld aka six flags america. Did it get bought by them someone else or did it go out of bussiness

I rememaber that bally is planning another worlds of wonder in scotland. Does anybody think Bally any more internaitonal parks. Does any think it nutty to suggest bally building a park in india. The reason i suggest india is because in 2007 a park called worlds of wonder opened outside of Dehli. If bally builds a park in india would it be called words of wonder india or would they use another because the otl India worlds of wonder open and when they try sueing india declares the name too genric for bally to have a claim on it. If so what what should it be called. Perhaps they would go with an american thme simlar to disny ameircan adventure and call it great american wonderland. Worlds of wonder was a trump park in 1.0 so it fittting for Bally to use the names of trumps other parks
