It seems a little previous to me , But predictions are already being made that them park wil be profitable in 3 years, and that dividends will be paid in 10 years ! >> http://tinyurl.com/5wqxeag

Big Risk ? They are already seeking funding for extending already 100 Hectare site - Even before the original park has opened. What's more, the Arab Investment Forum is being flown in to a local hotel where they will be seduced into parking with their hard-earned cash and pay for this phase II. These guys aren't stupid and would hardly be likely to do so if there was a risk that Phase I wouldn't get off the ground - the opening date has already been brought forward by 6 months due to work being ahead of schedule ! >> http://www.tumbit.com/news/articles/3596-new-date-set-for-arab-investment-forum-in-murcia.html

Paramount versus Port Aventura ? - http://tinyurl.com/3gubcja

Guys, I would really appreciate some help if any of you can give me a few useful pointers ! - I am writing an article about the likely effect that the opening of the new Paramount theme park is going to have on Port Aventura. Sure, Paramount is going to be bigger, better, newer etc... but it is also going to have a new Airport and rail links on the doorstep. It is also likely to have more facilities at it's disposal and far more hotel rooms and private villa rentals available for accomodation. As far as Port Aventura is concerned, Europe's budget airline - Ryanair - has already scaled back flights to and from the airport (Reus) and is already threatening to pull out of the airport altogether. Am I missing something, or does all of this signal a nail in the coffin lid for Port Aventura ? I have written a number of articles about the new Paramount park ( http://www.tumbit.com/search/3/paramount.html ) but to be honest with you, not being much of an enthusiast, I would appreciate some expert help and opinions in general in drawing comparisons with Port Aventura !

It's a good point that you make : only 19 of Spain's 42 airports currently make a a profit, however, Murcia's Corvera airport will be privately managed by the region as opposed to the AENA national operator, which means that they should be able to work with a greater degree of flexibility and more competetively. Interestingly, even before the Park has opened it has already attracted a great deal of interest from investors concerning a phase 2 / extension to the park >> http://www.tumbit.com/news/articles/3423-paramount-theme-park-and-corvera-airport-to-exceed-2-bln-investment.html

Quite a lot is expected of this theme park, and it's easy to see why when there has been so much invested in it. - For one, it will be the largest Theme park in the whole of Europe, but it also has it's own dedicated rail link to the the new airport at Corvera (Still under construction) and a number of new Motorways to link it to other areas of Murcia. Building work is currently way ahead of schedule, and it is rumoured to be open for the summer season of 2014. These guys here seem to have their finger on the pulse >> http://www.tumbit.com/news/articles/3434-which-airlines-will-fly-into-corvera-airport.html
