BBC theme park could feature Doctor Who, Top Gear, Star Trek in newly announced Paramount Pictures d - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Propane Addict;46688773]Top Gear? Imagine a ride based around running down bicyclists and upsetting as many different cultures as possible. "H982 FKL, this is BE11 END, we're approaching the bridge and there seems to be a slope in the middle of it. Permission to proceed." [editline]11th December 2014[/editline] Then the boost launchers take off and pieces of bicycles going flying from every direction as the coaster shoots off a bridge.[/QUOTE] I would pay shitloads to see this. Take note BBC News Bot!

[QUOTE=Instant Mix;46691211]The one thing the whole UK lacks is some obnoxious over-the-top theme parks. This is exactly what I've been waiting for for years. Alton towers is #1, only issue is it's in the middle of nowhere and has a tree-height limit ( so nothing like this : [t]http://www.coasterimage.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/intimidator-11.jpg[/t] ). Second to that is Thorpe Park, but that's built on a shitty swamp and generally is awful.[/QUOTE] alton towers is a really nice place to be though everything is spread out and it has a nice environment, most american parks just look like a flat wasteland with some rides in it

If this does happen, ill only think about going if the starters looks like the concept picture.

[QUOTE=altern;46688209]the thing is though, theme parks are very [u]very[/u] hard to make profitable. This comes from working 2 summers at a moderately sized amusement park. The amount of effort, talent, care and most importantly, money, that's required to make these operations work at all is endless. Making a profit margin is even harder, and it's not like it's even an untapped market.[/QUOTE] Which is why a majority of parks now make a good majority of their money off of the surrounding hotels and merchandising rights [b]surrounding[/b] the park. You make an excellent point though, parks are beastly things to run.

[QUOTE=Fr3ddi3;46691363]Also Ebbsfleet where this would be built is not London. It's Kent.[/QUOTE] but it is in extremely close proximity to greater london. you do realise where dartford is right? its called a london theme park for the same reason LSA has london in its name; technically its in essex but nobody outside of england is going to understand, nor care what that means.

I hope they have lot's of interactive tardis stuff

Britain, how much money does your BBC have? Are they going to call it 'BBC World' ?
