Paramount Raises Another Curtain
A basic Spanish to English translation provided by Google translator:
27 October 2010: Paramount Licensing executives and consulting firms involved in the future theme park plan to visit the Region of Murcia the next day 8 to study the evolution of the project and tour the grounds of the town of Alhama whose acquisition is being negotiated, said yesterday various sources. In theory, the necessary ground should be available for that date, so that owners can analyze license 'in situ' location and the possibilities it offers. The joint venture responsible for Flagship Projects and Resort Mediterranean Investment (MRI) are closing the borders of the lands that were owned Alhama Polaris World.
Try to agree on a call option on 3.5 million square meters in an amount ranging between 45 and 60 million euros. To lower the final price in future, more land, it is possible that the city of Alhama involved in the operation from the percentage of land that has given by the developer who signed agreements in the day with several companies construction. It also examines the possible involvement of other landowners. The developer Polaris World, for example, has yet to land in the municipality. People involved with the negotiation of the land of Alhama stress that "there is no turning back" on this location.
As in Orlando
In the meantime, is taking shape the blueprint of the future theme park. The promoters have from day one with the trick of the Port of Cartagena and the potential to attract major cruise companies. A couple of berths per week would guarantee a visit of more than five thousand tourists with high purchasing power that would spend all day at the theme park. In this sense, the scale of cruise would be a complement to the movement of passengers at the airports of San Javier and Corvera.
Agents that promote the installation of this park are telling prospective investors that it will not be an imitation of Disneyland Paris or Terra Mitica. Compare it to Orlando (Florida), where the main attractions are based on 'live' Hollywood films.
