A new NGN6bn ($30m) theme park is due to open in Nigeria on December 18.

Hi-Impact Planet (HIP) is located on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway opposite Mountaintop University and will feature a range of cutting-edge leisure and theme park equipment.

Rufi Ladipo, a spokesman for the park’s operator, said HIP would cater to the children’s leisure market.

“With wide array of thrilling outdoor rides and exciting indoor games many of which are award winning 2015 games and manufactured to the highest European and North American safety and technical standards, HIP is poised to revolutionise the game industry in West Africa,” Ladipo said.
