Great news!

Wanda Group, one of China's largest business conglomerates, plans to open its third Wanda City in June, in its latest effort to venture into the leisure industry.

Harbin Wanda City, the largest recreation project in the country's Northeastern region, will include Russian-style theme park facilities, a movie theater and the world's largest indoor skiing and snow entertainment park spanning 1.5 square kilometers. The 40 billion yuan ($5.8 billion) development is Wanda's latest commitment to the country's booming leisure industry

@VHCoasters posted a few pictures of the indoor Wanda Park in Nanning a couple of days ago.

By browsing through the web I found another Wanda theme park. It is indoor, but infact it is just an artwork from the "Sanderson Group" and it is located in Changbaishan. Here is the artwork:

I would say do Wanda Nanchang and if possible, if you go to the aquarium at Wanda Nanchang, please let me know if they have whale sharks and if so, how many. Thanks!

Excellent post by Micael listing the up and coming projects. I can add a couple of locations to that.

10. Wanda Chengdu Cultural Tourism City
Completion: 2018
Location: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@30.9586024,103.6103632,1755m/data=!3m1!1e3
Budget: $7.6 billion

11. Wanda Guilin Cultural Tourism City
Completion: 2020
Location: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@25.2296861,110.3106087,1131m/data=!3m1!1e3

12. Wanda Chongqing Cultural Tourism City

Location: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@29.6302613,106.3498183,1542m/data=!3m1!1e3

The Chongqing and Chengdu ones are accurate and the weird show buildings Wanda build to showcase the model at each park are present on the satellite image. Guilin is based on diagrammatic maps seen of the project and is approximate.

And in relation to Wuxi. The mall is well under construction but nothing vertical on the park yet


Coaster wise the expected lineup is
B&M Wing Coaster
Mack Blue Fire Launch Coaster
Intamin Impulse Coaster
Golden Horse Wild Mouse.

Does anyone have any more information on the construction of Wanda City Wuxi? Does anyone know their ride line up?
