A Paramount theme park boasting 50 rides, a gigantic cinema, and some of Hollywood’s biggest films is set to open in 2022.

Schedule a trip to Dartford, Kent into your family calendar for 2022 because a Paramount theme park boasting 50 rides is set to open.

At a cost of £3.5 billion, Kuwaiti European Holdings plan on building an 872-acre park that will also feature a 2,000-seat cinema.

Given that Paramount are the studio that produced some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters such as Iron Man, Star Trek, Transformers, and Titanic, it’s fair to say that there will be plenty of great rides.

As of now, all areas within the park will be themed around Paramount films. These include, Starfleet Command (Star Trek), a  cartoon circus, Action Square, Port Paramount and Entertainment City.

It’s estimated that the park will attract 40,000 visitors per day and create up to 33,000 jobs in the area.

Aside from the major Hollywood films, the theme park will also feature attractions from BBC shows and Aardman Animations.

The project is still in the planning stage, but it’s hoped that the government will approve its construction with work starting in 2019.

Check out some of the design plans…
