Want a theme park with Alien and Predator attractions? Good, because you're going to get one. Oh, but it will be in Malaysia.
20th Century Fox announced today that they're getting into the theme park business with a 25+ acre development in Malaysia that will feature attractions based on Fox films such as Alien, Predator, Life of Pi, Rio, Ice Age, and Night at the Museum. Additional film build outs are to be announced, but it should be noted that the Fox release Avatar already has a theme park attraction in the works through Disney.
In the meantime, enjoy those rides where you're trapped on a boat with a tiger or are hunted through the jungle by an invisible killer from space.
The park is said to include "media based rides, thrill rides, dark rides, children’s rides and water rides," as well as "The Dream Parade, an animatronics parade based on all characters and titles represented thorughout the theme park."
There will be 25 movie-based rides in all with the park set to open in 2016. And the price tag for building this park? A mere $158 million via investor Resorts World Genting, which is still less than most summer movie blockbusters cost to produce.
It would seem unlikely that Fox's X-Men could get a theme park attraction given that Disney now owns the Marvel character library (perhaps it could as long as everything is based off the look and elements of the X-Men movies?) so what other Fox movies would you like to see turned into attractions? I vote for Planet of the Apes.
