It appears that Six Flags are to open a park in China - I'm not sure if this is open knowledge and people know where it actually is based? But this appeared on LinkedIn:

David McKillips SVP International Operations;
President of Six Flags Development Company

The planning continues! Our Design Team met with The Riverside Group, Forrec and Govt Officials on design plans for Six Flags first theme park complex in China.
And we are still hiring great positions in China for Aquatics and Marketing; and a US Based New Business Development Director - please see: https://lnkd.in/ev8uSXS

There will be more than one park here too. As well as the seperate resort in Chongqing.
The Resort mentioned in this thread will have Six Flags Theme Park, Hurrican Harbour and Six Flags Kids World
While the Chongqing park will have the new Six Flags Adventure Park along with its Theme Park and Kids World

"Six Flags Kids World—the first park of its kind and designed especially for families with young children—will be built adjacent to both Six Flags Zhejiang and Six Flags Chongqing"

"Six Flags Kids World will feature junior-sized versions of the company’s world famous, recording-breaking roller coasters, rides and attractions. Families with young children will enjoy meeting and interacting with some of their favorite characters. Brightly-themed restaurants will offer kid-friendly menu options and retail shops will feature a wide selection of apparel, toys and souvenirs. Six Flags Kids World will be the perfect complement to the Six Flags theme park and Hurricane Harbor water park in Zhejiang, and the Six Flags portfolio of parks in Chongqing. "

"For the more daring enthusiasts, Six Flags Adventure Park will be the ultimate in high adrenaline, action-packed thrills. From motocross bicycle races along rugged terrain, to whitewater rafting to zip lining or rock climbing hundreds of feet above the ground, guests will have the opportunity to reach beyond their comfort zone and safely push the boundaries of self-discovery in a beautiful, natural environment. Six Flags innovation will be on full display in the design of the various challenges and attractions throughout the park. Six Flags Adventure Park will be a thrilling new addition to the Six Flags Chongqing entertainment lineup."

Six Flags has signed a deal with Shanshui Wenyuan Group and Turner International to bring Tuzki themed dark rides to their new Chinese parks.
http://www.asiaattractions.net/news/show-3442.html

Six Flags, Shanshui Wenyuan and Turner Join Hands to Create New Attractions
Recently, Six Flags Entertainment Group, Shanshui Wenyuan Group and Turner International Asia Pacific Co., Ltd. signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The three parties plan to join forces to create a new entertainment project called “Tuzki Dark Ride” and introduce the Six Flags Landing Festival to be opened in various parts of China. .
It is understood that Six Flags Group is the largest regional theme park company in the world, and its six-land park in Zhejiang and Chongqing Six Flags Park, which are invested and built in China, will open to the public in 2019 and 2020. In addition to the introduction of the new "Tuzki Dark Ride", visitors will also be presented with Tuzki-themed branded products.
According to the signed strategic cooperation agreement, Shanshui Wenyuan Group will be allowed to use Turner’s other cartoon character IP and character combinations in the Six Flags children's world. These IPs will become another major feature of the Six Flags children's world. Different from other children's playgrounds, Six Flags Children's World, adjacent to Zhejiang Six Flags Park and Chongqing Six Flags Park, specializes in designing playgrounds for families with young children.

What is a Tuzki i hear you ask...

That theme could either be brilliant or utter ****. I'm expecting a half-assed version of the brilliant concept, but can also see it going to complete ****.

Um... it looks like an interesting theme, and I think it could be quite cute if it's pulled off nicely! Are Tuzkis popular in China or something?
