"We need a site and a big enough one. I’m thinking of something like Disneyland Paris. It could be the Disneyland of Wales. They’re doing it at Alton Towers too which is very popular"
Since Mr Danter took over the pleasure park in 2015 he said he’d spent more than £12m on rides and has spent more money on a new dodgems ride arriving in the coming weeks. He added: "I promised the people of Barry I’d bring the golden days back for them and I believe I’ve achieved that."
Does stuff cost a lot more in Wales? Aspro claiming to have invested £25M at Oakwood (for a couple of small second hand coasters and a Disk'O) and Mr Danter claiming £12M at Barry Island (for an SBF Galaxi and some fairground rides).
Reading this article you'd picture a big thriving park rather than a fairground on the site of a small historic park.
Mr Danter has also said that he’d ideally like to build it on the site of Cardiff Airport, which seems like a non-starter.
If he wants to build a big theme park in Wales, then all power to him; as someone who lives less than an hour from Cardiff, I’d certainly be a very willing beneficiary of a South Wales park built further east than Oakwood!
The once-exclusive Spaceship Earth Lounge at Disney World's Epcot will soon welcome all park visitors. The lounge was previously known as the Siemens VIP Center, which was always attached to Spaceship Earth. It was exclusively used by corporate participants to entertain guests, however, all Disney World visitors will have access to it as soon as this spring. Source
