Wanda Nanchang Outdoor Theme Park Officially Opens --- On May 28, a team from FORREC, including President and CEO Gord Dorrett, attended the opening ceremony for this FORREC-designed theme park. The park reflects the rich historical and cultural content of the JiangXi region of southern China. FORREC used some of Jiangxi’s favourite stories to create immersive experiences that take guests through five zones, celebrating the porcelain industry, ancient poetry, famous architecture, fairy folklore, life on the water and natural splendor.

Has anyone found video or a large collection of pictures of the aquarium in Nanchang? I saw renderings of it back in 2015 and it looked like it was going to be very impressive. Thanks in advance!

From an insider perspective I can tell for sure that Wanda will eventually fail with its theme park plans. They have no concept and no strategy, they just want to be 'bigger'. It won't work.

More news on the potential Europe Wanda development.

the name announced for this theme park "Europa City" may indicate that Europa Corp director and producer Luc Besson might be part of the project, specially considering that the supposed location of the theme park would be at 10km north of Paris, more or less where Luc Besson already have his movie studios. This is a point which remain to be confirmed, though.

An interesting rumour this morning about Wanda potentially moving into Europe.

The development, being built by property company Immochan, will include a theme park, shopping center, water and snow parks, sports fields, performance spaces and hotels, according to the site.

Wang’s film, tourism and sports operations all fall under Wanda’s fast-growing Cultural Industry Group, which saw revenue climb 46 percent last year and is forecast to climb 30 percent in 2016.
