Turner International India, a division of New York City-based Times Warner, and the Rajgreen Group of Companies based in Gujarat, India, announced a 10-year partnership in Amaazia — India’s first Cartoon Network-branded amusement park. The Rajgreen Group invested $66 million in the venture which is located at Surat in the state of Gujarat. Amaazia is expected to be operational by the first quarter of 2019.
Spread over 657,00 square feet, the park has been conceptualized and designed by the Sanderson Group, Australia. Planned as a family entertainment destination, the park will have 33 rides and attractions featuring popular Cartoon Network characters, 20 unique water-slides, a water park, a family recreational hub, and a retail shopping area. The venture aims to tap one million footfalls in its first year of operations, reports Business Line.
Sanjay Movaliya, chairman, Rajgreen Group, said, “Our audience today is well-travelled and exposed to global entertainment venues. Our aim is to create a similar experience closer home, via our association with a hugely popular global brand like Cartoon Network.”
According to a KPMG report, the Indian theme park industry grew at 10.25 per cent in 2016 to reach $466 million, up from $426 million in 2015.
