Dutch chocolate company Tony’s Chocolonely has joined forces with architecture firm SeARCH to create a unique choccy-themed attraction.

It’s estimated the ‘chocolate circus’ will take three years to build and will cost an eye-watering $105 million (£84.5 million) in total. While a precise date for the opening hasn’t been revealed, it’s unlikely guests will be able to step inside the attraction before 2024.

Lotte World's signature night parade, Let's Dream!, debuted 6 years ago this week. Upon its debut, Disney fan site MiceChat claimed " it may be the best light parade ever created". The mega show is notable for several unique 'firsts', including the first use of Drones and Pepper's Ghost effects in a theme park parade. Designed and produced by Legacy Entertainment, these concept art images were created during the projects Blue Sky phase.

Legacy Entertainment has worked on multiple initiatives to re-imagine Las Vegas' iconic Tropicana resort, with the most ambitious being Columbia Sussex's 2007 plan to transform the property into the world's largest hotel with 10,000+ rooms. Part of this plan included a large-scale dark ride integrated throughout the resort.

These concept art images, developed during the project's Concept Design phase, depict a variety of scenes from this unique MACK boat ride which would have used a combination of physical sets and 3D screens, similar to The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man and Transformers. Two unique features of this attraction would have been a Water Vortex (similar to Poseidon's Fury at Universal's Islands of Adventure) and an Elevator Lift (as utilized in Sea World California's Journey to Atlantis).

Here's the latest pictures from the Theme Park Chocolate Kingdom in China. The Theme Park is in its final steps before grand opening.
