NEWCASTLE United striker Michael Owen plans to build a £12m wonderland theme park on the Costa del Sol in the grounds of his new luxury retreat, acording to reports.
The former Liverpool and Real Madrid attacker, who was not selected by England manager Fabio Capello for the Andorra and Croatia games, has reportedly taken delivery of plans for the park from a Walt Disney Corporation insider.

The huge estate in the sunshine resort was initially earmarked for Euro Disney before the project was moved to Paris and is sited just five minutes drive from Spain's biggest international horse-riding stables - after football, horses are other Owen's other main love.

It is believed Owen could pocket the resort for between £6m and £12, reports the Daily Express.

Last year the 28-year-old opened his multi-million police horse-racing establishment in Cheshire.

Owen said: "You hear stories about retired footballers turning to drink or getting depressed. Well I don't want to end up being a miserable so-and-so."

The full article contains 176 words and appears in Shields Gazette newspaper.

Well, if this is true, then it's good news for we owners!

Having said that, the original site was due to be where Selwo adventure park now resides.

However, there has been talk on and off for over two years now, that some sort of Disney Camp/Resort was to be situated in or around Manilva. It was reputed to take 4 or 5 years to complete the project, which would mean 2010 at the earliest.

If this does come off, then properties in the area will start to sell again, and for anyone who owns and is thinking of selling now ..... hmm!

Food for thought!

Techno, it's been a lot longer than two years that the rumour as been circulating!  Over five years that I'm aware of and I think it had been going around before then!!

It would be a fantastic thing if it happened - but we'll have to wait and see, I suppose!

Maureen, we can hit the roller-coasters when it opens!!

You're probably right Pitby!

I was referring to the articles that started to circulate in the papers here in the UK around end of April and during May 2006.

That was the 1st I heard of it 'possibly' being a reality.

Cor! It would be great!

Just to have a REAL Euro Disney.

This rumour has often been classed as an estate agents stunt but keeps resurfacing. During a recession there are always vultures who swoop giving credence to a recent story that Disney were buying up cheap land again in the Manilva area due to the property crash.

There is a lot more infrastructure now though than when the original, which of course ended up in Paris, was mooted. I for one have everything crossed!

Were they saying that the theme park would be sited near Coin, or you mean the rumour has been around since 2002? Come on Walt, you know it makes sense!
