Star Trek could be beaming into Spain by the end of 2015. We’re not talking about a convention. And, no, the next film won’t be filming there. Rather, Star Trek will be represented in force at Paramount Park Murcia, to be located at Alhama de Murcia on the Mediterranean coast about 270 miles southeast of Madrid. The wide-ranging project will incorporate condos and office buildings, hotels, malls, a casino, a convention center, gardens, nightlife and dining areas, an exhibition hall/auditorium and… a theme park divided into several sections.

 

Plaza Futura will be designed to appeal to Star Trek fans. 3D renderings depict a large futuristic square that will include a Starfleet Spain recruiting center, a 3D simulator ride (which allows guests/recruits to experience adventures in outer space), and a Warp Speed Coaster that will reach exciting heights and speeds and include an underground portion (a wormhole, naturally) and several loops.

 

Keep an eye on StarTrek.com for additional details about Paramount Park Murcia.

I will believe this park is happening when it opens.

 

And I strongly hope they - as Sheldon Cooper would put it - will not use "the wrong Spock"...

Looks good I will remain skeptical about this one. Not too sure if Star Trek has that big of a fan base to be really financially viable as a theme park. Don't get me wrong I love it and would visit it but didn't the last show get canceled after 4 seasons?

 

Hope the new movies will have created a broader fan base.

99% sure that Star Trek coaster is a Sky Rocket clone. Whether that's accurate or just an idea for them to have in the plan we'll have to see!

So is this actually getting built or what?
