^I may be imagining this, but didn't they announce that a few years ago ?

Yeah it was. it's now been given the go ahead by the government, which is what the announcement was today

It's an old brickworks. Apparently half of it is water filled clay pits, and the other half landfill.

The Americans reckon 6 years to build it

I don't think they realise how infrastructure projects work in this country

There's obviously a contribution from the government to build it in the UK

"Sir Keir Starmer unveiled a multi-billion pound agreement to construct Europe's only Universal-branded theme park right here in the UK, near Bedford."

The artist's impression shows different rides build around a lake. So I take it that the salt pits are going to become the lake.

What a waste of money, besides will anyone be able to afford to go to it thanks to Labour finance policies, I doubt it. Utter morons.

I'm sure it will be great....until they open the doors to the public and the Zombie Apocalypse begins.

"Shaznayyyyy....nah you fackin can't have a fackin iiiiiiicce cream ya little barrrstard" etc.

It's not for the local yokels. They're expanding Luton airport for a reason

I would have thought using the space to build sustainable housing would have been a far better use of funds but hey what do I know?
