I have been thinking - if I were to ever become a billionaire by some sheer stroke of luck (like inventing the next big thing by mistake) I would want to buy a theme park.
The thing is - there aren’t that many in the UK - and which one would I buy?
I would really want to be able to develop the park rapidly - so land would be needed. I would also want to be able to be creative with rides and coasters. Being able to build a hypercoaster or large dive machine. Would you start something from scratch?
Personally I would be looking at buying a former park - aka Camelot and bringing it back to life. A good couple of water rides, dark rides and two large family coaster and thrill coasters would be in my initial 10 year plan.
I would also look to offer daily shows and street entertainment. To me they are theme park staples.
What would everyone else do? Where would you buy and why?
