Sorry Nimbus, I didn't see your thread when I had a scan through to see if the news had broken here

Nah, no problem. The more, the merrier!

It’s probably better discussed in this area anyway. I put it in General Chat because I felt it was a bit too much of a rumour - though it quickly became confirmed.

Very exciting. I do wonder though if it would be a very different vibe. I think there is a huge difference in crowd dynamics for thorpe park fright nights vs HHN and generally not for the better.

I cant help but feel that the media are just jumping to massive conclusions. It was actually Universal Studios' parent company, Comcast, who have purchased the construction company Cloud Wing UK Limited, which happens to own the land.

There is also operational railway that runs straight through the middle of that site effectively cutting it in half.

It would be cool if it was to happen though.

Maybe you could jump on the train in Hogsmeade and end up in the real Kings Cross

Comcast and Universal have confirmed they are thinking of using the land to build a theme park. Though it is early days yet.

They’ve even set up a website:

Apparently the official official announcement that a Theme park is going there is being announced by the UK government in the run up to the election to spin about the investment companies are making in the UK.
