New Park: Magic World Russia

[Stitch_101]

Something I came across, and looked around and noticed no one has posted about it yet, so here you go. Russia is set to build it first "Destination resort theme park." According to the article I found, which you can read here eon.businesswire.com/news/eon/20110721006696/en/Magic-World-Russia/Gene-Moshkovich/MIG-2000 , the park will cover 600 acres and include the following:

 

*Major Hollywood Studio Branded Park – where guests participate in the action, “entering” their favorite films through a diverse collection of extraordinary ride experiences. MIG 2000 is currently in thorough discussions with a number of major Hollywood studios, with Paramount and Universal priority choices of MIG 2000 due to the popularity of their film and television properties in Russia as well as their experience with theme park development and operation.

 

*Magic Family Park - dedicated to families with young children.

 

*Nanopolis Children’s Park - will offer children a real “edutainment” experience that will combine the fun of participating in grown up “jobs” with the fun of learning what it’s like to be a real fireman or doctor or chef.

 

*Separate Waterparks for families and adults with enclosed beach resorts.

 

*Park Russia - will draw on the rich Russian culture and folklore as well as Russian accomplishments in the areas of space and Arctic exploration, film and cinematography, and science and aviation to develop rides, attractions and live events to entertain guests of all ages.

 

*Thrill Ride Park – will feature pure adrenaline driven coasters and rides that defy gravity and offer unbelievable thrills.

 

*Extreme Sports Park – will combine extreme sports attractions such as skate park, rock wall climbing, indoor sky diving, and other extreme sports under one roof.

 

*Winter Garden Magic Fountain Park – will feature a spectacular symphony of fountains which will defy imagination, exceeding anything that currently exists and serve as a stage for nightly entertainment and amazing parades.

 

*St. Petersburg City Street – a retail shopping and dining experience that will recreate a classic St. Petersburg with its magnificent architecture and provide opportunities for local as well as global brands.

 

*Amphitheater/Concert/Performance Hall - designed to be a 15,000 seat live performance theater.

 

*World Without Boundaries Special Needs Children’s Park. No other park in the world has been designed to serve special needs children such as the World Without Boundaries Park at Magic World Russia. Drawing on the leading special needs children medical and therapeutic experts in the world, the rides and attractions will be designed specifically to entertain a diverse number of physical and mental handicaps offering special needs children no matter their handicap, a memorable and fun experience.

 

Sounds very interesting. I must say I'm most impressed with the World Without Boundaries park. Definitely something I would love to see, given my line of work. What are everyones thoughts?

Another quick tidbit. While the link above doesn't give an open date, this artcile: www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/whats-in-store-at-russias-new-megapark-2327352.html , claims the parks grand opening will be sometime in 2016.

Sounds like an interesting idea... If this plan follows through all the way, I hope they implement some decent coasters. Some of my family lives in Moscow and I haven't been back since 1997. Maybe I'll get to check this park out in the future?

It's a massive overview of the proposal and its a stunning image. Several coasters in there I see Of course its just concept art but still. The park is currently undergoing feasibility studies so its still up in the air if it will happen at all.

 

You can also play find the park with that image... i see some Tatsu and some Kraken in there.
