Puy du Fou-style theme park for Auckland Castle


French theme park Puy du Fou has announced it will partner with Auckland Castle in the UK to create its fi rst international location. The historical re-enactment park – which is located in the Vendée region of Western France – has signed a deal with the Eleven Arches Trust to create a visitor attraction in County Durham. The project is the brainchild of entrepreneur Jonathan Ruffer, who bought Auckland Castle in 2012 and handed it to Auckland Castle Trust to transform into a world- class tourist destination as part of a £50m ($84m, E61m) investment. The theme park will open in 2020. Read more: http://lei.sr?a=U2h3Z

A new US$806.5m (E587m, £486m) aquatic theme park in China has broken fi ve Guinness World Records on open- ing and is now offi cially recognised as the largest aquarium on the planet. Chimelong Ocean Kingdom is the brain- child of PGAV Destinations, which served as the attraction’s lead strategist, plan- ner, designer, and product developer. It is the company’s fi rst full theme park design in Asia, although PGAV has previously designed Hong Kong’s Grand Aquarium and a museum attraction in Xi’an, China. The park was constructed over a three- year period, and is part of Chimelong


Hengqin Bay Hotel, the largest ocean eco- logical-themed hotel in China. Both the park and the hotel are owned by the Chimelong Group, which has invested more than US$3.3bn (E2.4bn, £1.99bn). As well as the largest aquarium accolade, Chimelong Ocean Kingdom has set records for having the world’s biggest underwater viewing dome, aquarium window, acrylic panel, and aquarium tank, which contains 22.7m litres of water. There are seven themed areas inside the park, each rep- resenting a part of the ocean, plus rides, thousands of animals and a 5D cinema. Read more: http://lei.sr?a=y5r2r
