Some of Lionsgate's most popular film franchises from Hunger Games to Twilight will be brought to life when the studio opens what it calls the world's first vertical theme park in China. Lionsgate Entertainment World will offer several adventures including a virtual reality motorcycle ride based on Twilight, a maximum-security prison breakout like in Escape Plan and a replica of The Capitol lobby from Hunger Games, complete with shops where guests can fashion themselves in the film's distinctive couture. More than 25 rides and virtual reality experiences will pack a sleek, futuristic looking bean-shaped building that stands 10 stories high. The theme park, which will also include attractions based on films such as Divergent, Now You See Me and Gods of Egypt, is scheduled to open in July on Hengqin Island located in Zhuhai, China. |
