First look at “next generation” theme park

The London Resort has revealed new concept artwork for the six lands that will be created for the first phase on the 535-acre site. The visuals are the first to be revealed since The London Resort announced its partnerships with the BBC, ITV Studios and more recently Paramount Pictures.

Four visuals have been released, hinting at the “next generation” rides and unique experiences people can expect when the park opens in 2024.

PY Gerbeau, Chief Executive of London Resort Company Holdings (LRCH), said: “We are creating a first-class theme park. A destination that maximises all the new, immersive and interactive technologies and experiences in the world.

“But we won’t just be creating a world class leisure destination, it will also be one of the most sustainable theme parks on the planet.

“We have three guidelines we work to when it comes to developing attractions, number one is innovation. We’re not here to copy what’s been done before even if it has been successful. Number two is relevance. We need to consider that the customers of today will not be the customers of 2024. And the third is flexibility. We need to create a park that can evolve and adapt easily.”

It follows on the from the partnership announcement with EDF Energy that aims to make the resort the most sustainable, major theme park destination in the world. In what is believed to be a first for the global tourism industry, the deal will see The London Resort pursue a Net Zero emissions goal.

Billed as one of the most ambitious theme park projects ever in Europe, the London Resort will be the first European development of its kind to be built from scratch since the opening of Disneyland Paris in 1992. It will eventually be a two-park resort – the first ‘gate’ will open in 2024 and the second within five years (2029) and it is expected that around 70% of attractions will be undercover.
