A new Paramount Pictures theme park is being built in Murcia, Spain. Expected to open in 2015 and it will include several Trek rides and attractions. Cool - always wanted to visit Spain!
In a formal ceremony on Thursday in Alhama de Murcia, Spain, ground was broken for the planned Paramount Theme Park and Lifestyle center. On hand were executives from PREMURSA (the consortium behind the project) along with local dignitaries and executives from Paramount Pictures. The plan is to open the theme park in 2015 with a goal of attracting 3 million visitors a year.
According to plans, the Plaza Futura section will have three elements related to Star Trek. There is the Starfleet Recruiting Center motion simulator ride, the Warp Speed roller coaster and a Starfleet Commissary restaurant. All will be themed around the look of the new JJ Abrams Star Trek movie universe....
