SANTA MONICA, Calif.,
June 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Lionsgate today announced a June
24 re-opening of its critically-acclaimed world's first
"vertical" theme park in Novotown on China's Henqin Island near Hong Kong and Macau. The park features one-of-a-kind
immersive attractions based on such motion picture blockbusters as
The Hunger Games, The Twilight Saga, Now You See
Me and more.
The date coincides with China's
popular "Dragon Boat" long holiday weekend celebration.
"We're pleased to welcome our cast members and guests back to
Lionsgate Entertainment World and glad we can accommodate the
tremendous pent up demand for this type of experience," said
Jenefer Brown, Executive Vice
President and Head of Lionsgate Global Live, Interactive and
Location-Based Entertainment. "The health and safety of our
employees and theme park guests is paramount. We've worked
carefully and thoughtfully to implement appropriate measures and
procedures to ensure our guests will once again enjoy all of the
Lionsgate movie adventures the park brings to life."
With extensive health and safety precautions, operational
partner Village Roadshow Theme Parks will be able to re-open
Lionsgate Entertainment World® at 50 percent capacity. For
instance, its "one guest one disinfection" policy assures that
every VR headset, table, countertop, ride, etc. will be disinfected
following every use. Additionally, cashless/digital payment
for tickets, merchandise and food will be implemented.
To help support all heroes in healthcare during this time,
Lionsgate Entertainment World® will also be offering complimentary
admission to all Healthcare workers who show their official
healthcare documentation and identification through December 31, 2020.
