Space Port One
The
Plan
The closing of Star Trek the experience in Los Vegas has been a factor in the Movie studio pushing forward with this theme park at this time, hoping to capitalize on the millions of followers of that particular Los Vegas attraction. The studio hopes to offer something just as good if not better here in the high desert of southern California where stars are one of the tours to desert visitors and where commercial space travel is laying down it's roots.
Russell and Gail Michael from California City Studios plan to build Space Port One in the center of California City as opposed to the studio property in order to take advantage of the many shops and retail outlets already established in town. By building in town they eliminate the need for a lot of retail space in side the amusement park and can concentrate more on attractions, with in the park . Finding property in the City and developing it will not be a problem several sites are already in consideration and things are moving forward.
There is another reason for building Space Port One in the heart of California City. By building it in town they eliminate the traffic from around the studio. Placing it in town leaves the lucrative film business already established at the studio in tack, with out all the disruption of the high traffic count the Park is sure to bring. The studio will still be able to utilize the Space port park for filming by closing it 3 day a week and making it available for filming on those days.
The Attractions and the sets needed for the park will in most part be built at the studio Property, they can then be moved to the park at anytime, eliminating costly unnecessary moves or down time associated with building other theme park attraction. By building the sets and all the attraction at the studio, gives the studio the added advantage of trying them out on the thousands of movie makers and their crew members that film at the studio each year. They can also get feed back from the film makers on the sets, rides and other attractions they are building. This also allows information to flow to film makers that a new and unusual set will be available to utilize for filming. If we run into a problem building the park in town at least it will be available for filming at the studio while we iron out any problems we my encounter in the construction and permitting process.
The competition by other states for the film industry business is fierce and heating up daily as other states adopted new tax credits to lure film makers to their state. These tax credits are louring more and more film makers from California every year. California City Studios has been battling that problem as well as other problems that daunt this high desert community and make it undesirable for film makers . One such problem is a lot of the credits or incentives offered by California means films have to be shot with in the long established 30 mile zone of the center of Hollywood in order to get the incentives. The other problem in East Kern County is available Motel space for film makers, the lack of a local grocery store and so on. The creation of a tourist attraction is one way to eliminate most of these problems and also give film makers something else to film and keep some of that lucrative film money in California.
Building Space Port One is no real gamble the studio attracts film makers
anyway, this gives them more to shoot. Visitors and tourist are attracted
to this area already. A lot of the traffic that passes through on the 14
and 58 freeways are going to some sort of vacation spot . Space Port One
will be an added attraction for them. The Mojave Air and Space Port is
building an air and space museum here in Mojave . The off road community
comes to this area by the millions every year. In a 50 mile radius of California
City there are over 800,000 residents " we are not alone". This type of
attraction will surely lend itself well to all that visit and pass though
now on a regular basis here in the high desert.
