Men in Black, Ghostbusters, and Jumanji land their own thrill rides at world’s first Colombia Pictures theme park

Men in Black, Ghostbusters, Jumanji, and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs will each be getting their own thrill rides thanks to a new partnership between Sony Pictures Entertainment and Amazon Falls to open the world’s first Colombia Pictures theme and waterpark.

The 14-acre location will be set within the seaside town of Bangsaray, located 90 minutes from Bangkok and will be a ‘unique themes and water park and entertainment destination for Thailand,’ that will feature rides and newly themed attractions based on some of the biggest movies from Hollywood.

Called Colombia Pictures Aquaverse, the park will play home to rides based on the likes of Ghostbusters, Jumanji, Bad Boys, Men in Black, and Hotel Transylvania.

 Catering to visitors of all ages, the park will encompass eight highly themed and immersive zones with a range of both water and land-based attractions as well as a program of live shows, immersive entertainment, interactive props, unique sets, themed restaurants, as well as specialty merchandise and retail locations.

Opening this year, rides like the Ghostbusters Supernatural Experience and the Men in Black Thrill Rides will include hair-raising water coaster rides and water domes, while the Bad Boys Raceway will be a new outdoor go-kart track in a neon Miami theme.
