The Coronation Street set will reportedly be turned into a theme park-style tourist attraction if plans to relocate filming go ahead.

According to the Sunday Mirror, show bosses are hoping to build an exact replica of the Street near MediaCity UK in Salford Quays to lower filming costs and want to open the existing set to fans.

Visitors will apparently be able to drink in the Rovers Return, shop at Rita's Kabin and even film their own soap scene.

A source said: "There is a lot there which people would like to visit. Coronation Street bosses think it would be a hugely popular attraction and a fitting tribute to the old set."

A spokesman added: "We are currently discussing a number of options."

What a great idea..it would make a fortune.

Wasn't Granada Studio Tour in the Top 10 attractions before they knocked most of it down and closed the rest to the public?

I can see it now........ miniture tram cars on log flume type rides. And under t`viaduct would be the old 'tunnel of love' where the door opening would be prawns gob as you enter, and Janice B`s gob as you exit.
The old ghost train would have life size Vera Duckworths and Ena Sharples cardboard cut outs on a jangly chain
