Exciting stuff. Every so often we hear about plans for a new theme park, but generally they don’t happen. However, the Gullivers group have a strong track record, so this one is very plausible. I’m not sure about the Warrington Park, but the other two are heavily restricted by space. 333 acres is a lot of land. I don’t know what portion of it they could realistically develop, but it sounds like this could be their biggest project yet.
After years of attractions closing, it’s nice to have all these new ones opening (Dreamland, Harry Potter tour, Shrek’s Far Away Adventure, Kidzania, this). Dreamland’s not entirely new and most of the others aren’t actual theme parks, but it’s an exciting time for themed entertainment.
But I hope this new attractions brings some new ideas to the table and isn’t just a mash up of their other attractions. I don’t like the cookie cutter mentally that’s become rampant in the theme park industry. With the Dinosaur and Farm park Gullivers tried to do something new and I don’t think it really worked out for them, so hopefully it won’t put them off trying to do something original this time.
