Cartoon Network to open in 2013 its first themed

waterpark in Thailand

Update : 29/03/12 - 20h49 Published by François Mayné the 27 March 2012, Project.

Turner Broadcasting System Asia Pacific announced a few weeks ago plans for the world’s first Cartoon Network-themed waterpark, to be located in Bang Saray, near Pattaya, on the East Coast of Thailand.

Scheduled to open in 2013, and named Cartoon Network AMAZONE, the waterpark will be a nod to the lush Amazon Rainforest while infusing the world’s most popular animated series and cartoon heroes including Ben 10, The Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo and The Amazing World of Gumball.

From serene to extreme splash-tastic thrills, Cartoon Network AMAZONE waterpark will feature exciting signature attractions including a gigantic family wave pool, a winding adventure river, speed-racing slides, family raft rides and one of the world's largest interactive water play fortresses for kids . All waterslides will be supplied by Turkish manufacturer Polin (read our “related articles” section below for more details).

“Cartoon Network is all about the fun and energy of the playground, and the addition of Cartoon Network AMAZONE means that families can literally step into our vibrant world of animation and vacation with their favourite characters like never before,” said Sunny Saha, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Turner Broadcasting System Asia Pacific, Inc. “We are very proud to have Thailand as the spectacular backdrop for the world’s first Cartoon Network-themed waterpark. Thailand’s reputation as the Land of Smiles and perfect weather will ensure a memorable visit for guests of all ages.”

Cartoon Network AMAZONE will host the world's largest interactive water play structure for kids

Cartoon Network AMAZONE is being developed in conjunction with Amazon Amazon Falls Co. Ltd, an attractions and resorts developer in Thailand. Phase one of the waterpark is already underway and when completed will cover 5.6 hectares (14 acres) of coastal plains. Cartoon Network AMAZONE is set to attract up to 800,000 visitors a year when fully operational.

Liakat Dhanji, Chairman, Amazon Falls Co. Ltd said, “Thailand has excellent tourism credentials, a vibrant culture with a vast history and also the most welcoming people in the world. The addition of Cartoon Network AMAZONE marks Thailand's very first internationally branded water theme park. -more-Cartoon Network is a global household name, and with this strategic alliance, we have no doubt that by welcoming our guests to meet their favourite Cartoon Network heroes, it will be a great draw for our park."

Atchaka Sribunruang, Secretary General of Thailand Board of Investment added, "Apart from offering substantial foreign investment, Cartoon Network AMAZONE will create numerous training and employment opportunities for Thai people on all professional and skill levels and create many jobs both directly and indirectly for the local economy. Our famous tourism market offers some of the most exciting and exotic attractions in the world and we are confident that Cartoon Network AMAZONE will be a premiere family destination for all ages. The Thailand Board of Investment is very supportive of this project and will offer as much assistance as required. "

Bang Saray retains its charm as a fully functioning fishing port yet is in close proximity to leading golf courses and resorts, and is home to some of the best seafood restaurants in Thailand. The idyllic location has been chosen for Cartoon Network AMAZONE because of its natural, unspoiled beauty, accessibility and the richness of its local culture.

With over five million tourists a year to the Chonburi province, it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Thailand. Last year, Pattaya was voted "Golf Destination of the Year 2012 for Australasia and Asia” by IAGTO."
