Paramount Park project in Alhama de Murcia, Spain, may be not dead after all

Guess what? Finally it seems that the Paramount Park project in Alhama de Murcia, Spain, is may be not dead after all! In the latest news the president of the region, Ramon Luis Valcarcel, announced that Paramount had entered in the shareholding of the project. This may provide greater credibility and confidence to the project, which would also attract new shareholders who so far doubted of the veracity of the Paramount Park project. Let's hope that Paramount now among the shareholders - even with a minimum percentage - and their commitment to quality in the future park will add trust and believe in the project.

More news translated as well as i could from Spanish articles: 

"The Paramount chief executive revealed during the traditional summer briefing with regional media that the project is going well  "If the project would be born in another era, the kids would be  (already) playing on the rides. But as he was born in 2010, in times of economy crisis, the circumstances are different" he said.

The first announcement about the park project was done three years ago, in February 2010 , when was announced the deal with Paramount to create a theme park set in Murcia based on the Paramount movies. At that time nobody gave him credibility as it seemed to be another political project with no real background but however the project has been progressing slowly but surely and now we know the project plan,  as well as informations on the different lands of the park.

Also, in recent weeks, others news have appeared indicating that the project is ongoing with more support than ever and could soon start the works :

A news from newspaper La Verdad on July 27 said that the city of Alhama expects to grant the first license between October and November, after returning to a plenary session on Special Development Plan. However, despite Premursa intend to start work in September, the municipal corporation believe it might not be possible because of the time took by bureaucracy.  Minister of Tourism, Pedro Alberto Cruz, also requested speed in the schedule so they can start the works in September.

Moreover, Jesus Samper ( Premursa promoter ) and Michael Bartok ( Paramount Licensing Executive Vice President ) visited the Region of Murcia and met with officials in the region to talk about the status of the project. 

In the news published on August 2 , the Minister of Tourism , Pedro Alberto Cruz, ensures that the project will go forward without interruption until his inauguration, thanks to the financial structure own by Premursa.

On the other hand, it was also announced that the model of the project ( picture on top ) will be presented in the Archaeological Museum of Murcia from September, to bring the project to the people of the region.

Let's end by a new video presenting the project with new renderings! Interesting part starts at 1.45 min.
