Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) Asia has inked a deal with the developers of Mall of China, Jiayuan Group, China Creation Group and Triple Five Group for Nickelodeon’s first indoor theme park in Asia.

The collaboration will see all parties co-develop Nickelodeon’s first-ever indoor theme park in the region and its largest in the world. The park is targeted to open in December 2020 and will showcase 14 of Nickelodeon’s most iconic properties such as PAW PatrolSpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Dora the Explorer across 29 attractions.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles launch coaster is anticipated to hold four world records for an indoor roller coaster ride—the longest track, the highest drop, the largest number of inversions and the fastest maximum speed. The park will also feature the first tilting drop tower attraction in Asia.

The new Nickelodeon indoor theme park will occupy approximately 28,000 square meters in the center of the 468,000-square-meter Mall of China complex in Chongqing. The developers will invest more than $750 million in the Mall of China. The total area will cost more than $4.2 billion to develop. The deal was unveiled at a signing ceremony in Chongqing today.
