New trademark filing from Paultons:
Interesting that this covers Hotels seeing as they've always said it's not on their radar!
Perhaps just a change of mind our trade marking it in case anybody else in the future they do want to build a hotel.

I was just going to post similar. If you looks their list of trademarks, they've covered hotel, campsite, lodges in the past. Paultons Hotel was trademarked in 2016. I wasn't at the event, but in the fans q&a they seemed quite adamant it wasn't for them.Perhaps just a change of mind our trade marking it in case anybody else in the future they do want to build a hotel.
Lawrence did directly answer a fan question about accommodation with something along the lines of being lucky to be based in the New Forest with lots of 3rd party options and that there were no current plans to develop anything in house. Seems fair to try and cover what they can so it's one less thing to think about should the desire or opportunity arise!I was just going to post similar.

Ah the old Disneyland / Disneyland Hotel scenario.I wonder if it could be a hotel operated by a partner company instead of their own hotel? I don't know how much scope they have for expansion, and obviously they may not want to tread on anybody's toes with regards to existing local accomodation, but if they have good links already with hotel companies already then maybe there is potential for a hotel owned and run by somebody else but within the scope of turning the park in to a resort?
I was there and that's not exactly what he said (it's also not what he said in the video). He said that the set pieces would be made up of screens and some physical elements; "a hybrid". This likely be props in front, and to the side, of screens to give a feel of depth. The photos used in the Superfans presentation were for a hypothetical ride, not the actual ride and he said "not to take them literally".Lawrence Mancey confirmed at the Super Fans event that there will be 50/50 split of screens and physical sets. As seen below, the the ride vehicles twist to face practical sets and then very wide screens.
I think there’s maybe a little difference between something that is a dark ride that you move though from scene to scene which uses screens and then this which seems like it’s essentially more of an outright big arcade game than it is a traditional “ride”.Urg. I thought the shooty ride fad was behind us by now?
I'm a bit worried we'll end up with something resembling Ninjago at Legoland which is effectively just an XBOX Kinect game. I'm hoping there'll be enough physical aspects in this to offer something beyond home entertainment.
Sorry but I can ride this at home by launching Call of Duty - I go on dark rides to go on a ride through different physical environments not just point a shooter at screens
...and Call of Duty is rated 18, hardly paulton's market...family market, riding is completely optional for grown ups!Sorry but I can ride this at home by launching Call of Duty - I go on dark rides to go on a ride through different physical environments not just point a shooter at screens
Splatoon, Fortnite, etc then, there are plenty of shooters for kids at home. But I understand the arguments made elsewhere, it's not a dark ride it is just a shooter and I'm not the target audience....and Call of Duty is rated 18, hardly paulton's market...family market, riding is completely optional for grown ups!
