The venue near Pattaya — a tourist hotspot in non-pandemic
times — will open from October, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Thai
amusement-park developer Amazon Falls announced on Wednesday.
It will feature zones and rides based on films produced by
Columbia Pictures, which is owned by Sony, including Hollywood favorites
“Ghostbusters” and “Bad Boys”.
Sony Pictures said the “Columbia Pictures’ Aquaverse” would
be the first amusement park of its kind, but did not announce how much it would
cost.
Japanese conglomerate Sony has in recent years moved to
further diversify from its core technology business, boosting its offerings in
the entertainment sector including music and film.
“Columbia Pictures’ Aquaverse is the next step in Sony
Pictures’ larger global strategy to grow and expand location-based
entertainment by utilising its strong global film and TV brands,” said Sony
Pictures executive Jeffrey Godsick.
