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.

Hmm. I thought Paramount, oh, I don't know, wanted to get out of the theme park business?

Deja vu, anyone

You could almost set your watch by this topic showing up again (and again)...

Oh, im sorry. I searched but I didn't find anything.

^ 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.)

MODS-- can you please delete one of these? I somehow double-posted. Thanks!

This should be fun to watch them bail out again, just before failure.

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?

Paramount is not actually doing the parks.They are just licensing their name and films to the developers.

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.

That looks pretty cool! The concept art makes me want to go there!

I wonder if they will get a Top Gun...
