The high speed train service is attracting
development into Kent London Heritage Theme Park
BUT just 17 minutes from the capital on an 872
acre site, also on the HS line, at Swanscombe in Kent Paramount
So where does this leave Dreamland? Yes it is a
heritage site not a futuristic attraction but given that theme parks are
generally aimed at the younger generation can they be attracted to historic
rides, or would they prefer to take a high speed ride on a train to experience
the latest in high tech amusement? One interesting observation will be which
opens first, if either gets off the drawing board.
I am with you on your last comment which and if ?
ReplyDeleteDon, Paramount look in the lead at the moment with two local authorities where the site is located both supporting the application.
ReplyDeleteSuch a major development on the High Speed line could change the whole nature of tourism in Kent. Whether for good or for bad I am not quite sure.
London to Margate by HS for a family of 2 adults and 2 children cost £108 return and even £62 with a railcard. Dreamland will need to produce some special rail fare/entry prices to entice people from the capital if there is an attraction on their doorsteps.
ReplyDeleteYou are all wrong. Paramount park will get train passengers, all of dreamlands visitors will fly into Manston, probably on the backs of pigs.
