A film studio are planning on building a £2 billion theme park in the UK to rival Disneyland.
Paramount want to build the giant resort in Kent, boasting rollercoasters, water parks, a cinema, hotels and restaurants. Named London Paramount Entertainment, the complex will be based in the Swanscombe peninsula, Kent and will feature a number of Hollywood greats, such as Titanic and Braveheart, as well as the UK's best loved TV characters.

In addition it's believed that they're working on signing a deal with BBC Worldwide to allow some of Britain's most popular programmes to appear in the new theme park, aiming to open its gates in 2018.
It hasn't been confirmed which exact shows will be included, but it's thought that the BBC's chart-topping favourites like Doctor Who will feature.
The leader of the project has spoken about how they are hopeful of breaking ground on development in the next three years.
Over the next 12-18 months we will be progressing the planning application and embarking on a wide-reaching programme of community consultation, while securing further commercial agreements with third parties. Our timetable for delivery, including the planning application process and construction, is geared towards completion and opening in 2018.
It should be similar to a theme park opening in Spain, and you can see the presentation video for that below.
