Both Dr who and Top Gear are huge all around the world, well maybe not so much Top Gear anymore lol.

It's a good move by them if they go with these and it stops Merlin getting their grubby hands on Dr Who.

 

[Smithy]

If they wanted a truly global ip surely they'd look at Mr Bean, admittedly a bit outdated mind.

 

[Ben]

^A bit outdated?

Understatement of the century, they might as well open Clarissa Explains It All: The Ride at Universal Studios.

 

[Snoo]

Let's be honest though Ben, that has the possibility to be epic.

Outdated to us, afaik it's still quite popular overseas.

I know I said earlier that I wasn't sure about Dr Who but now I've thought about it, it could make a brilliant world class 4D dark ride with a mixture of real animatronics and 3D screens.

 

[marc]

I just hope they use the right Dr and not the last two!

But this will be a UK park, not overseas...

 

[cjbrandy]

^ It still needs international appeal to be profitable since it's going to cost a hefty £2 billion.

Aye I'd missed the bit where it said Kent, England in the thread title :roll:

As above, the place is obviously after being an international destination rather than just a national one given it's scale.

 

[Nemesis Inferno]

Given that Dr Who is one of the most watched UK shows in the US (with Downton Abbey behind it if I recall), it would be stupid of them to have this how international appeal plan and NOT use such an IP...

Combined with Paramount stuff like Star Trek and whatever other films they have, it could be an interesting combo...

All I want to see at the park is a wooden coaster with loads of "airtime", in the UK we are not allowed "ejector type airtime" ( e.g. El Toro woodie at SFGA) on coasters.

 

[owentaylor121]

For anyone who isn't from the UK and is reading this, the UK is allowed to have ejector airtime on the coasters and don't listen to a work the post above me just said.

Ok, then.

 

[cjbrandy]

I think this park should build an out and back B&M hyper similar to Behemoth and Shambhala that overtakes The Big One's UK height record. It would make a great star attraction for the park and attract plenty of attention from the media.

 

[Lofty]

^ Yeah, you've got no hope of that happening any time soon. As I've mentioned countless numbers of times: Don't expect much in the way of thrill rides for the park, it's more of an entertainment park than a thrill park

 

[Ethan]

I'm praying for a couple of decent dark rides.

 

[PeskyTrimBrake]

Blah blah blah Paramount theme park, blah blah blah BBC Doctor Who and Top Gear blah blah blah

Rides based on popular BBC shows such as Top Gear and Doctor Who could to form a central part of a £2bn Kent theme park, it has been announced.

Turns out Sherlock is joining the list. Don't know what ride they could pull off with Sherlock but I'm glad they're adding it. Probably a dark ride or a Baker Street themed Area?

Roller coaster for Doctor Who and Top Gear is my guess.

 

[furie]

Nah, I'll bet they move the Doctor Who show that was running in London. It's already set up and can go somewhere cheaper to operate at very little cost.

 

[Lofty]

You can guarantee that the attractions they're going to add are of the highest quality and not replicas of anything that's been before.
