skaterboy22101 Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2008May20/0,4...emePark,00.html Paramount Movie Park Korea will have more than 30 attractions, said Michael Corcoran, president of Paramount Pictures Corp.'s consumer products and recreation group, who predicted it will draw more than 5 million visitors during its first year of operation. The park is set to open up in 2011. Quote
CedarPointer Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Hmm. I thought Paramount, oh, I don't know, wanted to get out of the theme park business? Quote
jzarley Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Deja vu, anyone You could almost set your watch by this topic showing up again (and again)... http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?...36&hl=Korea http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?...85&hl=Korea Quote
skaterboy22101 Posted May 12, 2009 Author Posted May 12, 2009 Oh, im sorry. I searched but I didn't find anything. Quote
jzarley Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 ^ No problem...it's just amazing how long Paramount has been talking about building a park in Asia. (Before the Korea park they had also announced plans for Japan and China.) Quote

HTCO Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 This should be fun to watch them bail out again, just before failure. Quote
westcoaster Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 they wanted out but they could have done better, and tried harder and had lots of parks now???????? Oh well wish them the best , but really Paramount? Quote
Beast Man Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Paramount is not actually doing the parks.They are just licensing their name and films to the developers. Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 And they is Viacom. It was CBS who wanted out of the park business, and extracted such a high price from Cedar Fair, who wanted the Paramount Parks. At one time, Viacom owned the parks, but when Viacom split into Viacom and CBS, CBS "got stuck" with the low growth North American theme parks. Viacom has since also licensed Nick Universe to Mall of America in Minnesota, mere miles from Valleyfair of Cedar Fair fame. Quote
