The Kuwaiti businessman behind a troubled £2.5bn Kent theme park meant to rival Disneyland has been declared bankrupt.
Abdulla Al-Humaidi, who was a key backer of the proposed London Resort development scheme, was confirmed to be insolvent at a High Court hearing last month.
It is the latest twist relating to the “Dartford Disneyland” scheme, which Mr Al-Humaidi previously ran as a director of London Resort Company Holdings.
London Resort, situated near the Thames in Ebbsfleet, was formed 12 years ago to rival the world’s biggest theme parks. However, it has been plagued by setbacks, including the discovery of a rare spider that hampered development efforts.
