I honestly think it’s good riddance at this point. As much as the project briefly seemed to muster up some mild momentum again 5 years ago or so, there’s been no conceivable way that this park could happen for a fair while now, and as much as we might laugh about it, this whole saga has been awful for the local business owners and such whose livelihoods have been upended by the long-standing uncertainty over the land they own.

It’s a little crazy that it’s taken 12 years to get to this point. For what it is worth this doomed project did atleast help push some form of investment into the UK parks, which with the more realistic Universal GB coming in the future, hopefully investments will continue. Only time will tell on that front.

If Universal GB actually covers to fruition. It would deliver now than this could've ever promised. However, it's very sad that the concept, despite never being even slightly fleshed out, was never delivered. As the idea of a giant theme park complex so close to the hub of the country would have been so beneficial, both in it's intent value and in giving Merlin a competitor to force some investment back into their parks.

Rest in peace to the UK theme park industry's endlessly intrusive thought. Let it be buried underneath the foundations of Universal GB.

Is this really the last time I yell to myself WHAT IS IT NOW. Closure perhaps ? If any mods are free tonight due to cancelled plans how's about ceremoniously locking this thread on the stroke of midnight. Give everyone a few final hours to do a mocking ridicule dance.

I'm with B, Lock it at midnight.

Goodriddans and Happy New Year everyone!

Edit: Actually, there's probably going to be legal ramifications to everything that has happened so far. So it's going to go on for years yet isn't it?

Locked. 2025 feels good already!

PM me if there's a legitimate reason to reopen.
