The agreement has been signed with Indonesian company Kios to build a Paramount-themed destination in Bali, set to become one of Southeast Asia’s largest theme parks.
The theme park is set to cover an area of 57 hectare’s and is projected to attract more than 5 million visitors in its first year alone. Indonesian culture will feature heavily across the park, particularly in the ‘Land of Legends’ area, which is based on the country’s myths and legends and will be home to the first Indonesian-inspired ride at an international theme park.
Kios will tap into Paramount Pictures’ library of more than 1,000 films and use brands and characters that will appeal to people of all ages with other attractions perhaps drawing on Nickelodeon’s characters such as Spongebob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Alongside the attractions, there will be two themed hotels, the Paramount Grand Resort and Nickelodeon Resort, both offering direct access to the theme park.
Ty Granaroli, Paramount Global’s Executive VP, Themed Entertainment and Experiences, said: “We believe that the beauty of Bali, combined with integrated resort hotels and a Paramount theme park will create a magnificent entertainment project that all of Indonesia can be proud of.”
