Merlin just bought the IP rights to Peppa Pig (outside of the UK at least) and it looks like they plan to open a park alongside LEGOLAND Shanghai that is completely Peppe Pig themed.

Your wish for a Disneyland was granted in 2016, and soon after came promises of a Hello Kitty Theme Park and a Legoland. And the frenzy doesn't stop there. Rumour has it, we'll be welcoming a new Peppa Pig World by 2022!

According to The Paper, the plan to build Peppa Pig World(s) in Beijing and Shanghai was confirmed by Merlin Entertainment's Chinese delegates at the recent China Intellectual Property & Innovation Summit. The rumoured location pinned somewhere on the banks of Dianshan Lake, a scenic natural reserve a day-trip away from central Shanghai. This news does contradict with the company's other recent decision to exclude China and the UK from its expansion deal, we can only hope for the best.

Hawana Salalah Aqua Park updated photos

That Amikoo project looks amazing. They have many interesting rides like the coaster of How to train your dragon in Dubai and the Harry Potter Hogwarts. I really hope it's well done because they will have some competition with the Cirque du Soleil in Vallarta.

Haven't seen this project on the website yet:

An $840 million theme park called Amikoo will be developed on the country’s Caribbean coast – north of the resort city of Playa del Carmen.

Amikoo is the Mayan pronunciation of “amigo,” meaning friend.

The park’s attractions will celebrate Mexican culture: with cartoon characters representing figures adapted from Mexican culture.
