PARAMOUNT MOVIE PARK KOREA Incheon, South Korea, Daewoo
New Park - (5/25/09) All new concept artwork showing off the new Paramount Movie Park and Universal Studios park opening in South Korea has been posted to the DisneyandMore Blog. According to the blog the Paramount park is eyeballing attractions based on many of their popular films like Tomb Raider, Titanic, Mission Impossible and apparently even in talks to see about using Indiana Jones in some fashion. (3/29/09) It’s been awhile since I’ve heard much about the Paramount Movie Park planned for South Korea, but The Theme Park Guy managed to go out and find the construction site for it. How do we know? Because there is a giant construction wall with the park’s logo on it, though he says that so far the only thing behind the wall seems to be a parking lot on one side and empty land on the other. (5/20/08) A new update on the South Korea Paramount Park project has been posted here. According to the article the $1.4 billion project between Daewoo and Paramount has already started construction and will be called Paramount Movie Park Korea when it opens before the end of 2009. (12/13/07) Daewoo reports that it has now signed a formal contract with Paramount Pictures to build a Paramount theme park in South Korea at cost of 1.5 trillion won ($1.6 billion). The park is expected to open by 2010 and just west of Seoul in Incheon, with construction to start by July 2008. (5/10/07) According to this news article, Paramount Pictures Corp. and Daewoo Motor Sales Corp. will jointly invest over $1 billion into building a theme park resort on a 50-hectare plot Daewoo owns in Inchon.
