Six Flags ups China game with 11th park announcement
POSTED 01 Jun 2018 . BY Tom Anstey
Six Flags and Riverside have a shared vision to develop multiple parks throughout China
Six Flags continues to make its mark on China, with the operator announcing plans for an 11th theme park project in the country.

An addition to the three parks already set to be built in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, the new Six Flags Kids World will feature scaled down versions of popular Six Flags attractions, including rollercoasters, rides, attractions and brightly-coloured play zones. There will also be education-based entertainment, which will have an emphasis on STEM subjects and physical fitness. The park will also house speciality restaurants and retail outlets.

The first phase of the Nanjing site is scheduled to open in 2021. It will include a Six Flags theme park, a water park and an adventure park. The theme and waterparks will feature rollercoasters, rides, waterslides and attractions, along with elaborately-themed sections celebrating time-honored Chinese and American traditions. The adventure park will include activities such as motocross racing, whitewater rafting and rock climbing.

"Six Flags and Riverside have a shared vision to develop multiple parks throughout China, with offerings tailored to every member of the family," said Six Flags International Development Company president, David McKillips.

"The Nanjing parks, like their sister properties in China and North America, will have a distinctive look and feel with one-of-a-kind experiences that will only be available at those locations. In addition, Nanjing’s close proximity to Zhejiang will add tremendous value for Season Pass holders in the Yangzi River Delta region."
