    Yes I would and I’d happily save up for it as well. Even a high number of locals in area welcomed it.

    With many countries closing their boarders to visitors over the last two years due to COVID-19, something that unfortunately we are going to have to get used to. An alternative theme park to Disneyland Park and Tokyo Disneyland Resort will be very welcome.

    I remember Pierre-Yves Gerbeau from his time as Vice President of Operations at Euro Disneyland, and from when he was the CEO of X-Leisure, the company that turned the Millennium Dome in London from an empty white elephant to the now thriving O2 Arena entertainment complex.

    If anyone can pull off the London Resort, PY and his team can.

    With the many obstacles and planning delays put in their a lesser team would have thrown up their hands in despair, thrown in the towel and given up.

    I can’t remember Legoland Windsor, Alton Towers, or Thorpe Park being effected this much by the considerable planning delays put in their way by the local governmental authorities and the Secretary of State.

    Did you know that the location in Swanscombe, Kent, where The London Resort is to be built was once investigated by the Walt Disney Company in the early 1980s for a possible European Disney park.

    Just one of 100s of possible locations investigated, but was ruled out quite early on in the process due to its poor transportation links and weather.

    Off course the transportation issues have been solved since then with the opening of the M25 motorway, the HS1 high speed railway to London and the Channel Tunnel with its Eurostar train service to Europe.

    Spain was chosen instead to be the home of Euro Disney, but of course that choice also had to be changed due to construction and political issues, so France was selected instead, and that is how Euro Disney or Disneyland Paris as it’s known today was born.

    This park is going to be a HUGE disaster , we are watching the slow death of Disney

      Why? Disney has nothing to do with funding, planning or building this thing at all.

    I always wondered why there wasn’t a Disney Park in England.

      Me too Lawrence. I hope one is built there for our British allies!

        Disney is never going to build another park so close with DLP just across the channel in France. It makes no financial sense to do that.
