Turner's internationally loved Cartoon Network characters from Ben 10, The Powerpuff Girls, and Adventure Time will be part of the family entertainment destination, which will host 33 theme-based attractions as well as 20 unique water slides. It will be spread across an expansive 61,000 sqm area.

Siddharth Jain, Managing Director, South Asia, Turner India, said,

India is a priority market for Turner and our partnership with Rajgreen Group will enable millions of Cartoon Network fans to interact and have fun with their favourite characters like never before.

Sanjay Movaliya, Chairman, Rajgreen Group, said Surat will be "a spectacular backdrop" for the park.

Amaazia will attract visitors from neighbouring cities like Mumbai, Ahmedabad, and Udaipur and also fans and visitors from across the nation and beyond, he said.

The amusement park will be divided into four major sections — a theme park, branded by Cartoon Network, a water park, a family recreational hub, and a service apartment and retail shopping area. Earlier this year, Nandi Hills, a popular tourist destination in Karnataka, was nominated to house its very own Disney World. A ropeway, a golf course, a race course, and a film city will be among the added attractions at the park.

Internationally, Cartoon Network Amazone is located in the seaside town of Bangsaray, about a 20-minute drive from Pattaya City and less than two hours from Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport.
