Fantawild Holdings, a leading one-stop solution provider in the theme park industry, has opened its latest tourist destination in Sichuan, China.
Fantawild Dino Kingdom is the result of 3.1 billion CNY of investment, covering more than 400,000 square meters. The park is designed to cater for over 3 million visitors per year, with nine indoor and thirty outdoor attractions, as well as restaurants and shops within an intricately designed landscape. Fantawild’s latest destination allows visitors to experience immersive attractions, have fun while learning about science, and spend their free time eating or shopping.
The new theme park is heavily themed around dinosaurs and ancient Shu culture, supported by Fantawild’s creativity and technology to bring the past to life. The firm has used advanced technology including AR, VR, and giant and spherical screens to enable guests to explore and be immersed in the environments created for the park. Guests can visit Volcano Valley or explore ancient jungles and marshes seeking excitement and thrills in this fantastic pre-historic world.
Attraction highlights
One of the headline attractions is Jurassic Journey, taking place in a 4D circular-vision theatre. Guests are sat on a rotating platform, following famous characters from the animated Boonie Bears series, travelling back in time to the age of the dinosaurs. The park has already received positive feedback, such as that from Mr. Huang, a recent guest: “Kids loved the Boonie Bears elements of the show. It has beautiful graphics and a touching story, suitable to watch with your family.”
As one of the top entertainment options, the stageshow To the Sky brings evolution to life, combining themed sets with live performances. Park guest Mr Lin provides feedback: “I expected a stereotypical low-tech, exaggerated stage show. I am surprised to have seen such a beautiful and magnificent show.”
Discovering the elements
Another draw for visitors, Bronze Legends is a holographic image show which uses cutting-edge technology to transport visitors to the ancient Shu Kingdom. The edutainment experience recreates the tale of a king fighting against a flood, while examining legends related to this mysterious land and period.
Suspended roller coaster Fire Mountain has been supplied by Vekoma Rides, with Fantawild constructing two underground tunnels with a total length of almost 40 meters. The ride has been designed to replicate the sensation of swooping through the sky and under the earth while experiencing pops of zero gravity.
A Fantawild representative says: “Going to Fantawild Dino Kingdom is like stepping into the pre-historic era, providing a one-stop, high-quality tourist destination with unique experiences, attractions and performances.
“The new park is expected to become a very popular tourist destination, not just in the city of Zigong but for the whole of Sichuan province. This will provide a great boost to the development of the local tourism and entertainment industry.”
Fantawild has also announced additional sites at Yichun and Guizhou, with construction already begun in the Jiangxi Province.
