Anyone know what happened to this project? I remember being quite excited because I lived in Swansea at the time but I presume the lack of updates means this has been canned?

Never even knew this was supposed to be a thing... Wouldn't have been complaining though!

It's disappointing nothing came to fruition. While the park itself didn't look particularly exciting it would have been located on the M4 an hour before Oakwood so would have meant lots more UK goons would visit lovely Wales. Oakwood is so far out the way but I think more of us would have made the trip if we could hoover up a +5 or whatever on the way there. Shame.

I would really like to see this park come to fruition

**** me, this must be the biggest necro-post I've seen in a while!

Why didn't you just Google, Benenen? **** me.

Haha, I had no idea this would be so frowned upon! I did have a Google but after finding nothing I thought someone on here might have some insight as to why it failed, how far the project got, etc. To me at least that's more interesting than the interminable discussion of when people think theme parks will reopen.

Also given the baseless optimism in threads like Paramount London and Six Flags Saudi Arabia it's important to show that these projects mainly fail and don't get off the ground.

They have a fantastic looking mini golf course!

Doing better than the UK Paramount Resort anyway,

Tbf they did update The London Resort by saying PY Gerbeau recovering from COVID-19 and also at least October is the new planning application submission date.

But back on topic, this new Welsh park I really wanna happen cause it gives Oakwood Theme Park competition. Also, I want something like this in Scotland and give them a major theme park, with Loudoun Castle Theme Park gone and M&D's in administration

I wonder why this failed? It looked so promising, and it would have given Wales another lovely major theme park to complement the fun already found in Oakwood!
