The world's first Cartoon Network Amazone waterpark opened its doors to the general public on October 3.

Located less than 20 minutes from Pattaya City, Thailand, the one-of-a-kind waterpark features 30 water rides and slides, live Cartoon Network entertainment shows, mascot meet and greets, thrills attractions and interactive water play fun for the entire family.

"What sets Cartoon Network Amazone apart from any waterpark in the world is that this is the new home away from home of Cartoon Network's beloved heroes such as Powerpuff Girls, Ben 10, Adventure Time and the only place where our fans can do meet and greets with their favourite characters every day while they enjoy our live shows," said Liakat Dhanji, chairman of Amazon Falls Company, the owner and developer of the park.

"We made a decision from day one that this park would be a 'daycation' destination – an attraction like no other in Thailand or in Asia. A place where music and live entertainment with Cartoon Network characters would be equally as important as the water attractions."

Thailand's newest and largest international waterpark will initially admit up to 1,000 visitors per day in October to ensure that the intended customer experience is successfully delivered as the park continues to fine-tune operations.

The park admittance capacity will gradually be raised in November to meet with anticipated high season demands from tourists and local Thai visitors.
