Oh my god, this is like The Room of theme parks. This would have been so awesome to see in real life, just to admire how absolutely baffling every decision was. Oh and that Mission Impossible ride looked legitimately pretty dope.

Yeah, I'm the guy who would have loved the Sleepy Hollow section.

[@DemC92]

That sleepy hollow section sounded amazing

[@jasonyau326]

Outside of Star Trek , Mission Impossible and Nickelodeon, Paramount simply does not have enough IP in house that still resonates with the public to make a Theme Park work. They would have to emulate Universal and license IP elsewhere to create a fully fledged theme park

[@Clay3613]

Godfather, lots of other gangster movies.

@@Clay3613 sorry I meant more family friendly ip 🤨

[@inkiadk]

They do have Transformers and I believe the Power Rangers

[@Person-wz6iy]

Gladiator?

[@user-vo7lw5xt3p]

I would be down for the Rango and sleepy hollow section. Rango is an amazing underrated movie and I love Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow. They could have also included a sleepy hollow dark ride with practically sets and animatronics. I enjoyed the honey I shrunk the kids play area in Disney world so I would definitely enjoy the Rango section. It’s so cool feeling like you have shrunk down to a small size. Actually Disney could do a play area for the ant man franchise.

[@SirBlackReeds]

Heck, the Rango section had some serious potential given the amount of Spaghetti Westerns that were filmed in Spain.

[@christopherchase4960]

Stardust is an incredible film. Robert De Niro plays a wonderful part, Michelle Pfeiffer is a wonderful villain (a witch!), and Claire Danes plays a fallen star. Enchanting movie.

[@CAG83]

I came here to say this as well! This is a genuinely great movie, highly underrated!

[@apolmaz]

I’m from Murcia and this video made me really happy. The project was a completely disaster from the beginning with a lot of people investing and never seeing that money back. A great story about bad decissions and political corruption.

Wasn’t there a planned Paramount Park in Korea?

[@VivianRoldo]

Just a small comment to say Rango is a fantastic film…

[@SirBlackReeds]

@Enmity the Kindhearted Would it have been for the best if it had a sequel?

[@SirBlackReeds]

Also, many Spaghetti Westerns were filmed in Spain.

[@Person-wz6iy]

@Enmity the Kindhearted Well Gore Verbinski said he didn't plan on making a Sequel. But he did say he'd like to make another Animated Film sometime. But he didn't say if it would be Distributed by Paramount or Animated by ILM. Well I hope they find a way to bring Rango back with a Paramount+ Show or something. And I'm also hoping Johnny Depp gets out of his legal battles with Amber Heard. Who is a right old B***h. And Johnny has won!

[@tanman7568]

I don't get why they made a section from Rango. It's a great film, but it's just that one film. I think a land based on Nickelodeon would make more sense.

[@esteban7370]

Yes!

[@SunshineStateCoasters]

Yeah your right but I would’ve loved to see that land! Rango is one of my favorite animated movies ever, amazing movie!

[@Clay3613]

Rango needs more love, too many parks already have a crappy Nickelodeon section.

[@daniethegirl029]

Ok so sleepy hollow land sound SO FREAKING COOL!! (Not opposed to rango land either)

Paramount: “Hey can I copy your homework?”
Disney: “Yeah just change it up a bit so it doesn’t look obvious you copied”

[@44bthknuckles]

Universal:no paramount you compied us were the original studio park not you yet you failed wow.

[@snarkus63]

*Stardust* is a favorite of mine; unless that was a babylon candle the girl was supposed to be holding in the concept art, it didn't look like it had anything to do with the movie.

[@ringtail14]

Why is the Titanic so weirdly romanticized?
Sleepy hollow would have been cool tho

[@Chrisindapurplehouse]

Because of the film and because many couples were torn apart in the tragedy. That kind of puts the tragedy in nutshell if there is a couple that the audience can relate to and it's more filmic, and therefore more friendly for a theme park. I think with the ride they were trying to be more respectful about it than other iterations while still being kind of disrespectful. I guess there's no way to do it without being disrespectful.

[@nassifguiling4922]

Foreign tourist wouldn't travel to Murcia for only this park. If they built it near bigger touristy cities Barcelona, Madrid, Sevilla then it would have been better off.

[@wavelength3856]

I love these videos on "lost" parks that could have been! (Also been loving your ReviewTyme Theme Park Podcast as of late!)
It's cool to think about what a day in a park like this might have been like - sure the design was a little derivative, but I'm sure it would have been a really good time nonetheless.

[@Orange_Laowai]

It kind of sucks that this never ended up happening, though I can understand why they had to reach for the bottom of the barrel for IPs. Viacom as a whole has a bigger catalog of IPs to work from, and it would have saved them a lot of time if they just used Nickelodeon. I do like the ambition of using IPs such as Star Trek, Titanic, and Mission Impossible, but those three IPs could not have carried an entire park.

[@samwilliams9919]

Ok but stardust is an incredible film

[@Chrisindapurplehouse]

I know, right! Obviously, it was never big in Oz, because this guy has never heard of it, but it is well loved and remembered in Europe. It was a huge UK production and it adapted a Neil Gaiman book, he's a national treasure. Also, Take That sang the song for it and the song is great.

[@CoasterKrazy]

That little quip about d*sney coming for your job during the sponsored bit had me rolling 😂 You don’t have to worry ReviewTyme, your content is the clear winner in the theme park history department!

[@cloudcraft7153]

Why the hell did you censor Disney?

[@spindleclown]

Admittedly, some part of this sounded really cool, especially the Sleepy Hollow and Rango stuff. It's for the best that this place never came to be, though. I feel it would've been disastrous.

[@haventesla8648]

While I agree the choice of IP was largely baffling, I would chalk most of it down to Paramount just not having all that many "hot" properties beyond Star Trek and MI. And if we're honest, most of Disney and Universal's expansions over the past decade have been based on IPs that weren't their original creations either. Marvel, Star Wars, Avatar, Cars, Toy Story (both Pixar pre-Disney acquisition) ... I can only think of Frozen and Seven Dwarves Mine Train being popular new attractions that are based on original Disney IP. Likewise for Universal, whose two biggest wins of the past decade were Harry Potter and Nintendo, although they also had Jurassic Park/World and Despicable Me as major homegrown offerings.

[@Alex-cs9ty]

The HBO of theme park content is back once again!
Fantastic video lads, the moment I saw the title I thought "I hope they take a look at the farce this has been/still is Paramount London/The London Resort" - and the tease at the end of the video has got me very excited!
Much love from the UK as ever 🇬🇧

[@toddpiedad651]

A lot of this sounds legitimately interesting. Regardless of the IP mess this would have been a really wild park if it ever saw the light of day.

[@waffle2434]

Obviously, the best place for this park would have been Portugal, because the alliteration in the name "Paramount Pictures Park Portugal" is so good that it almost makes me want to go just for that reason😆😆😆

[@EspenSGX]

Guys, definitely watch Stardust. It's great!
Also, this video seemed needlessly harsh in quite some places.

[@SunshineStateCoasters]

I would’ve loved to see that Rango land! One of the best animated movies of all time! And the last great Nickelodeon movie!

[@SirBlackReeds]

If this hadn't been cancelled would Rango's West have been given the love and care it would have needed or would Paramount have allowed it to become as outmoded as Frontierland? ReviewTyme underestimates the appeal of Rango. Given that it's a loving parody of Spaghetti Westerns, it did have the potential to be one of the most visited parts of the proposed theme park because _a lot_ of Spaghetti Westerns were filmed in Spain.

[@jakekuhl1]

Throwback to growing up in a Paramount park! (Kings Island)

[@Person-wz6iy]

Here’s how I would do it: I would keep the Star Trek, Mission Impossible and Rango attractions. But I would replace Spiderwick with a Spongebob land which would be an indoor area to make you feel like your beneath the waves, which would also feature a boat ride. And then a Paw Patrol area for little kids! And maybe a Gladiator arena show and a simulator ride themed to Airplane!

[@samuraistretch3986]

A titanic ride is a terrible idea. It really was not that long ago people. 😅

It was a very small carnival park then they started building on to it making it 5 time bigger it was some what good but it was so far north it had a very short season were weather was above 50 degrees . how about doing one on Canada wonderland.. Stay safe... Love ya pal

[@mini_mew775]

Who the hell doesn't remember sleepy hollow. Love that movie. Awwww stardust! Michelle Pfeiffer was great in her role

[@SPRidley]

As a spaniard, this was a big failure from the start, not only did Paramount learned nothing from their time with Terra Mitica, but the corruption from spanish politicians and money grubbing companies and wanting to build this park in the middle of a fucking desert with little worldwide (or heck, even spanish) tourism just was gonna make this the biggest failure in a country with BIG theme park failures. m glad it never happened as a spanish theme park fan. Its a pity that Eurodisney was not build in Gandia as proposed at first and shitty politics made the project go finally to Paris, becuase that move would have changed the way we view theme parks in spain, and the politic corrputions surrounding it (also would have made Eurodisneyland succesful from the start, but thats an altarnate timeline).
BTW I think people here are overexagerating the problems of Titanic being a ride. Are we forgetting Titanic is a major blockbuster movie that was once in history the most money making movie ever, and that was PURE entertainment (you dont have a guy hitting a boat propeller while his falling for education purposes), Are we forgetting before James Cameron's Titanic there were multiple Hollywood Titanic movies done for entertainement (with some of theme just mere years acter the catastrophe?) are we forgetting Titanic has been used as entertainment in thousands of books and videogames. Are we forgetting theres an actual Titanic "museum" going around the world that has a gift shop at the end? Are we forgetting all the catastrophees that have been made movies AND rides? or do you think that Earthquake and its section on the Universal tram was just based on a movie?
Dont you forget USA, in a hundred years, you are going to have movies of pure entertainment about the twin towers, and nobody is gonna give two damns, at least its not gonna be worse that using that as an excuse to start a neverending war with the middle east.
Oh and huge disrespect against Stardust in the video. Is an absolute fantastic fantasy movie everyone should watch.
