Cartoon Network Amazone announces completion of Humungaslide

Thailand's first internationally branded waterpark, the Cartoon Network Amazone, has this week reached a construction milestone with the completion of the Humungaslide, a high-speed water coaster based on the hugely popular Ben 10 alien, Humungousaur.

The Humungaslide is part of The Omniverse, one of 10 exhilarating themed zones at what will be the world's first Cartoon Network waterpark.

Located in coastal Bang Saray, Thailand, and set to open in the first half of 2014, Cartoon Network Amazone will invite guests to unleash their inner toon and get animated like never before.

The Omniverse zone features six high-speed water coasters, towering as high as 23 meters in the air. Guests will feel the intensity of one of Ben 10's largest aliens on the Humungaslide, where two rafts race each other in circular slides, speeding through daring twists and turns before being dropped eight meters into the clutches of Humungousaur for a dramatic, heart-pounding finish.

Liakat Dhanji, Chairman and Chief Executive of Amazon Falls Co. Ltd, the developer of the water park, explains "Cartoon Network Amazone is the first internationally brandedwater park for Thailand, which means it will instantly put the country on the global theme park map.

"We're proud to be bringing thevibrantly animated world of Cartoon Network to the people of Thailand and visitors from around the world. It's the number one kids' channel in Asia Pacific, and now fans are going to get to experience all its incredibleseries and characters in ways they never dreamed."

Sunny Saha, Senior Vice President and Managing Director South East Asia Pacific and General Manager - Kids Networks, Asia Pacific, for Turner International AsiaPacific, was on site this week to witness the final placement of Humungousaur's head to complete the water coaster.

As a result, Saha stated "this is an ultimate day for the Cartoon Network brand.

"It's an incredible feeling to be here in Thailand and see the world's first Cartoon Network water park taking shape.

"It's going to be an awesome adventure for our fans everywhere."
