davidmorton Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4375219.stm Owvers of Alton, Thorpe etc, sold up for £800M ($1.5bn) to Dubai - (hope that doesn't mean Nemesis is moving to the desert!) Dave "also hopes for lots of investment then!" M.
nemesis-storm Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 I think this will be good news for the Tussauds Parks (Hopefully!). More investment can then be put in for new attactions etc. Heide Park for a long time now has been rumoured to be a getting a Intamin Aqua Trax coaster. Not so sure on the future plans for the UK parks owned by Tussauds, except for the Rocket coaster at Thorpe Park. Maybe we will even see another park coming into the Tussaud 'family' :shock:
GAcoaster Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 Now let's see if the same investment group swoops in and buys Paramount Parks, or Unviersal or Six Flags over here... :shock:
SharkTums Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 LOL, I wonder if the crazy American's would allow an 'Arab' group to buy several of our countries Amusement Park! Elissa "I'm all for it, they have lots of money!" Alvey
GAcoaster Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 It's possible, especially with the dollar being so low right now. They could buy a lot of parks with a little money!
Homey G. Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 More "Flying Carpet" rides for you guys then, huh?
