Bangkok – Turner Broadcasting System Asia Pacific has announced plans to launch the world’s first Cartoon Network-themed waterpark, to be located in Bang Saray, near Pattaya, on the East coast of Thailand.

Named “Cartoon Network Amazone”, the theme park is scheduled to open in 2013. It is a nod to the lush Amazon Rainforest while infusing popular animated series and cartoon heroes including Ben 10, The Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo and The Amazing World of Gumball. 

The waterpark will feature such attractions as a gigantic family wave pool, a winding adventure river, speed-racing slides, family raft rides and one of the world’s largest interactive water play fortresses for kids.

“Cartoon Network Amazone” is expected to attract up to 800,000 visitors a year when fully operational.
