Installation of newly-constructed facilities at Six Flags’ first Chinese waterpark is moving ahead and is expected to be finished in Q1 this year, ahead of the park’s anticipated opening in June 2020. The waterpark is being built on the shore of Hangzhou Bay in Zhejiang Province, Eastern China, 45 miles (72km) from downtown Shanghai. The waterpark and theme park will include a number of “record-breaking coasters, unique thrill experiences and incredible live shows”, according to Six Flags, which is developing the attraction with its Chinese partner, Riverside Investment Group.
Six Flags has announced the construction of several theme parks for China, with those at Zhejiang, Nanjing and Chongqing all having Six Flags Kids World parks, designed especially for families with young children with junior-sized versions of coasters and rides, being built adjacent to them.
Nanjing and Chongqing will also have adjoining Six Flags Adventure Parks, offering “high-energy outdoor thrills”. These will include motocross bicycle races along rugged terrain, whitewater rafting, and zip lining or rock climbing hundreds of feet above the ground.
Six Flags has revealed recently how local political changes and a weakened Chinese economy have held up progress for its plans in China, causing delays in its opening schedules. Chongqing is now scheduled to open in 2021, and Nanjing in 2022.
