What do you know about these people that makes you trust them? Help us understand why you feel so strongly that the project will succeed. Everyone on TPR would love to see another new park succeed, but I have never heard of these companies. So. I'm skeptical. First of, i have seen the project, concept and such. I emailed them, and asked them some questions about the park, including the location. In their reply they mentioned that there is 10 million family visitors every year. And the most of the visitors in all is families with children. They also said that the park will have weekly concerts, which will attract teenagers and such. Also this project has private investors, so i'm almost sure that the park will get build. Running the park is another story, that depends on the calculations of interested visitors. This park will create 800 seasonal jobs which is perfect for younger people that wants to party on the island but aren't rich. They work at day, party at night. - Kian.

I get all your points. But don't you think that they know what they are doing? They probably have all sorts of numbers showing that this is the right location. Also there is 10 million family visitors every year. I'm not defending the project, i just think it's a bit odd that some roller coaster enthusiasts know allot more about where's a good location for a theme park, than a team that actually is specialized in the thing. Also this park will have weekly concerts which will attract the young people (teenagers etc.) Yes i've had heard of Hard Rock Park. - Exactly! Hard Rock Park is the only good example! And that was located in the United States of America, which already is allot different from Europe. I believe in this park, until the TPG group themselves say that it's not going to work. - Kian.

Earlier this week, the Danish theme park Club Group (TPG) presented the idea of opening a huge theme park on the island of Mallorca, Spain. A project with a cost of 200 to 300 million €. The site for the big theme park is not yet decided, however, the location of palma seem to be a favorite for the project. According to documents distributed, the entire sum of some Scandinavian investors are privately fund The current schedule anticipates that the theme park will open before the next elections in 2015. They expect 1.5 million visitors per year and to create 800 jobs for the season. The theme park will have 5 highly themed areas. As read in the official folder of the park, which is found on the official project website, this park will include 3 coasters - A runaway mine train for kids, (most likely a vekoma junior) - A wild mouse, (most likely a Mack Wild Mouse) - Suspended roller coaster, (i think a B&M Invert) All in all a not uninteresting project that only a short flight away. The official project website: http://themeparkgroup.com/ Sources: Airtimers.com, NewsParcs.com Here's some concept art for you: The entrance area planned for the theme park. More concept art. I see a water ride! The children's Fantasia themed area. More concept art.
