Fantawild Holdings, a leading one-stop solution provider in the theme park industry, is investing in three new theme parks in Shaoxing and another new theme park in the Wudang Mountains.

Fantawild Holdings Inc and the municipal government of Shaoxing have agreed to the construction of three new Fantawild theme parks in Shaoxing.

The parks are named Boonie Bears Land, Boonie Bears Wild Waters, and Shaoxing Cultural Park, with Fantawild hoping to transform the city into a major tourist destination.

Boonie Bears Land and Boonie Bears Wild Waters will receive investments of 1.3 billion CNY ($195m) and 500 million CNY ($75m), respectively.

The two theme parks will be themed to Fantawild’s popular animated IP Boonie Bears, featuring characters, scenes, and stories from the TV series and movies.
