Creating A Theme Park

[coasterenthusiast]

Hi all,

Admins got no clue if this is in the right place…

I have recently taken an interest in starting up a theme park - is this completely impossible? Was wondering if anyone had any experience or ideas?


I’ve got no clue of what to do - yes I’m a thoosie but got no idea or experience in engineering or anything!

Thanks

Win the lottery several times over would be my best advice.

Have you got a massive piece of land and millions/billions of pounds? I think that would be a decent starting point.

Set up a business on Companies House for £12, and the sky's the limit.

There are theme parks and amusement parks. The latter would be cheaper. Find a plot of land to rent in a park or the likes, buy a few kids rides, get insurance, hire staff, have the rides certified, maintain them and you are good to go. Guestimating, you would need a few hundred thousand pounds to start with a few small kids rides.

For an amusement park - the relatively new and small scale Lost Island theme park cost the equivalent of £80m to build. Add a premium for UK land prices too. I'm sure you would need up-wards of £100m to stock and staff the place. Good luck with the finances.

I hear there's a large plot of land in East London just begging for someone to buy it.

Question is, does this thread count as a London Resort board meeting?

Yes, and I claim my fifty grand.

Always thought you could make a decent profit hiring 2 kiddie creds each year (say a wacky worm, and an sbf spinner) and charging cred hunting enthusiasts £10 to ride each one.
Then the following year hire 2 brand new ones and rinse and repeat.

So how's it going so far? What's your business plan? What land have you acquired? Tell me more about your loans strategy.

3 contracts with B&M have been signed, and RMC had some plans sent back for some slight profiling adjustments last I heard.
