London Paramount Plans

Further plans for the London Paramount Entertainment Resort have been released, including many artists impressions of the potential lands in the theme park that would include a wide variety of rides, attractions, shows, shops, cafes, bars and restaurants.

The £2bn development scheme for the 872-acre Swanscombe Peninsula site, known as the London Paramount Entertainment Resort, would include not only a theme park but several hotels and Europe's largest indoor waterpark. It is intended to open in 2020 and expected to attract on average 40,000 visitors per day.

 


A landmark agreement with Paramount Pictures, the oldest major Hollywood movie studio, allows the Resort access to a library of films including iconic movies such as Mission: Impossible, Star Trek, The Godfather and The Italian Job.

In the last year BBC Worldwide, Aardman Animations and the British Film Institute have all signed agreements with London Paramount, with intention to explore the right mix of British television, film and talent to entertain visitors.

The arrangement with the BBC means some of the best loved and celebrated programmes and characters to appear on British TV in recent decades could be brought to life at a world-class entertainment destination.

Aardman is one of the UK’s leading animation studios, having produced a number of award winning feature films and TV series including the Wallace & Gromit franchise and Shaun the Sheep.

The British Film Institute will be a key cultural adviser to the project, providing strategic input on how British films and talent can be best incorporated into the Entertainment Resort.

Potential themed lands at the park include Adventure Isle, Land of Legends, Cartoon Circus, Starfleet CommandAction Square, Port Paramount and Entertainment City.
