London Paramount is a proposed theme park and entertainment precinct in Kent, United Kingdom. The project was announced on 8 October 2012; construction could begin in autumn 2016 with the opening estimated for Easter 2021. If given the green light, the development would use 872 acres of mostly saltmarsh (and a small amount of brownfield land) on the Swanscombe peninsula, a marooned remnant of the North Kent Marshes, and be twice the size of the Olympic Park in East London. The development would lie in the floodplain of the Inner Thames, using up one of the few remaining patches of the floodplain that is wild and undeveloped, and which is also used to accept floodwaters in order to reduce the pressure on the critical flood defences of the river. There is also concern given the marshland in question is home to several species which are endangered in the UK, including; the (Distinguished Jumping Spider ), Water Vole, and Marsh Harrier. It will feature Europe’s largest indoor water park, theatres, live music venues, attractions, cinemas, restaurants, event space and hotels. Allied to the project will be a training academy for the entertainment and hospitality sectors, a new country park, a large science and education visitor complex and "the biggest performing arts centre in Europe".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.kentonline.co.uk/kentonline/news/2012/october/8/paramount_park.aspx )〕 The name of the park has been announced as the London Paramount Entertainment Resort. The developer has said that the theme of the park will have an emphasis on Britain and Kent, however the attractions are likely to be based on films and entertainment properties owned by the licensee of the park's name, Paramount Pictures. Once fully open, the park and related enterprises could sustain 27,000 jobs. While the project has garnered considerable support in Kent, a commentary in the ''London Evening Standard'' in October 2012 called into question the commitment of some of the development partners, namely landowner Lafarge Tarmac, builder Brookfield Construction and property company Development Securities. However, on 10 December 2012 the project received a boost after securing the services of Chris Townsend, as its commercial director. Townsend performed the same role for the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games on behalf of the London 2012 Summer Olympics and is charged with attracting investors for debt and equity funding. The plans for the park received considerable backing from the British government when Paramount London became the first commercial venture to be awarded Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project status allowing the developers to bypass local planning requirements. The Secretary of State may make a decision on the park's planning application in autumn 2016 == Attractions == The themed lands planned for the park include:〔http://airgates.co.uk/2014/11/25/themed-lands-in-paramount-park-revealed/〕 * Adventure Isle * Land of Legends * Cartoon Circus * Starfleet Command * Action Square * Port Paramount * Entertainment City BBC, Aardman and BFI, British Film Institute, have been attached to the proposal and have signed a deal with Paramount.
