Plans for a huge theme park in the southeast which was due to open in 2025 have been withdrawn. The London Resort would have included a huge medieval-themed castle and lava waterfalls with massive rides on a site the size of 136 Wembley Stadiums.
The London Resort has today announced on its website that the current application has been withdrawn. In a statement, PY Gerbeau said: “In the best interests of the London Resort, we are withdrawing the current application; as a result of the classification of Tilbury as a Freeport which has meant revisions are required in moving the ferry terminal from Tilbury to Grays. We are working closely and collaborating with Thurrock Council on that matter."
At the end of their statement, The London Resort state they are "still 100% committed" to the project. The resort's CEO said plans will be resubmitted before the end of 2022.
