UK first for Jet Centre

A planning application has been made to add two more cinemas and a new mini golf attraction at the Riverside Regional Centre site.

Owner Michael McAdam has revealed that 2010 is set to be an exciting year for the complex.

He told The Times on Monday: "The Jet Centre has many new and exciting plans for 2010.

"Planning permission has been submitted for two new cinema screens, and once this is approved, we would hope to go out to competitive tender in two months.

"The date for work has not yet been decided, but it is our hope that the two new screens would be operational by summer."

Michael went on: "The idea behind the expansion is to allow us to screen more films.

"At the moment there is some frustration for cinema management and customers, that with six screens we can't always show all the new releases. This means we have to select the bigger more commercial films.

"With an extra two screens, we will be able to fit in smaller releases, giving our customers a better choice."

Michael also revealed that the Centre could be in line for another attraction that is new to the UK and Ireland.

"We have also submitted planning permission for indoor Glow in the Dark Crazy Golf.

"No one in the UK or Ireland currently has this attraction, and we would love to be the first

"With our very changeable weather, we think indoor golf will be a great addition to the Jet Centre."
