Viacom Breaks Ground On First Nickelodeon Theme Park In China
Sanshui New Town Management Committee, Hong Kong Elite Global Group and Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) are kicking off construction on the Foshan Cultural and Ecological Coastal Project, which will include Nickelodeon Cultural Resort, China's first Nickelodeon theme park!
The estimated RMB 11.9 billion ($1.71 billion) development project will span approximately 3 million square meters (750 acres), with around a third of the space (250 set acres) dedicated to Nickelodeon-themed attractions. It is anticipated to open in 2020 and attract 6.7 million tourists in the first year. Nickelodeon Cultural Resort will incorporate Foshan’s cultural tourism while leveraging Nickelodeon’s iconic brand power.
Viacom International Media Networks has yet to announce what attractions will be included within the Nickelodeon theme park, however, Ron Johnson, the Executive Vice President (EVP) of Nickelodeon and Viacom Consumer Products (NVCP) for VIMN, remarked: “We are thrilled to be part of this incredible initiative and groundbreaking [ceremony] today. As the first Nickelodeon-themed attraction in China, we will give kids and families in Foshan and across China the opportunity to interact with iconic and beloved characters, including SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, through this world-class entertainment destination. On-the-ground experiences like this offer kids and families an opportunity to experience and interact with the characters that they love in new, meaningful ways.”
Governmental officials from the Sanshui district of Foshan City stated: “In 2015, Foshan set an aim to build a ‘culture-oriented’ city and deployed an innovative cultural developmental strategy to promote our city value. This cultural and ecological coastal project is a perfect match for our goal to make culture and tourism a strategic industry. We look forward to the completion of the project, which we believe will bring huge benefits to the state’s economy. In the meantime, we will give full support to Viacom International Media Networks and Elite Global Group for the successful implementation of their innovative plans.”
Elite Global Group added: “We are thankful for the support we gained from the government. They have been very welcoming to our project and everything went as planned and scheduled. The groundbreaking ceremony today signifies the beginning of our win-win project for the local economy in Foshan and Guangzhou as well as the tourists in China.”
Viacom's partners in the project are Hong Kong conglomerate Elite Global Group and the Sanshui New Town Management Committee, a government-backed entity charged with developing the Sanshui district of Foshan.
Fuelled by a growing and increasingly entertainment-focused middle class, China's theme park industry is on track to surpass that of the U.S. within the next few years. By 2020, ticket sales at Chinese parks will surge to $12 billion from $4.6 billion in 2015, according to a report released in November by market research firms Euromonitor International and World Travel Market. Theme park revenue in the U.S., meanwhile, is expected to inch upward to $9 billion in 2020 from $8 billion in 2015.
Major international park brands have been hurrying to enter the market, while local real estate giant Dalian Wanda Group plans to roll out 15 mega-resorts across China by 2020.
In September, Universal Studios signed a deal with a Chinese consortium to build a multibillion-dollar theme park in Beijing, to open in 2019. Later this year, Dreamworks Animation and Chinese partners are expected to complete a $2.4 billion entertainment complex in Shanghai, featuring bars, restaurants and performance venues.
Disney's $5.5 billion theme park in Shanghai opened June in June 2016 and the company says it will come close to breaking even by the end of its first full year of operation. Shanghai Disneyland broke ground on a Toy Story-themed expansion in October, just four months after opening.
Viacom last year opened the first Nickelodeon-themed attraction in Asia, Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon in Malaysia.

The home of SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Paw Patrol and Dora the Explorer, Nickelodeon UK & Ireland Network is available in over 13 million cable and satellite homes and now reaches more than 10 million viewers a month.

“Virginia brings to Nickelodeon her expertise in elevating brands beyond the screens and into the daily lives of audiences and this knowledge will be key for building the Nickelodeon business,” said Alison Bakunowich, GM Nickelodeon UK & Ireland. “Nickelodeon has proved itself as number one for families in 2016 as shown in our ratings, the popularity of our consumer products and the success of our first ever UK Slimefest. I am sure Virginia will build on this momentum to take our brands even further.”
Monaghan joins Nickelodeon following a year in which the network became the number one kids’ network in cable and satellite homes.* Her role will see her lead Nickelodeon’s award-winning creative, marketing and communications team.
An employee of Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) since 1991, Monaghan has worked across the MTV and Comedy Central brands. For a decade she served as Director of Music Channels for MTV, overseeing the content across the brand’s suite of eight music channels. She has also been Head of Marketing for the network and spent most of 2016 overseeing the marketing, press and creative teams across both MTV and Comedy Central. Most recently, Monaghan has served as VP, Commercial and Marketing Experiences for MTV and Comedy Central. Across her career Monaghan has worked on events such as the iconic Lick Parties with Trevor Nelson, MTV Dance Ibiza residencies and Gonzo On Tour with Zane Lowe. Last year she grew Comedy Central’s Friendsfest from a 5000 capacity single-venue event to a nationwide tour, visited by over 60,000.
“I cannot wait to join the Nickelodeon team and get to work on building the network and its properties. There is a huge potential within the business and a real opportunity to grow the network’s brands both on screen and beyond,” said Virginia Monaghan.
The home of SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Paw Patrol and Dora the Explorer, Nickelodeon UK & Ireland Network is available in over 13 million cable and satellite homes and now reaches more than 10 million viewers a month. Launched in 1993, the top-performing Nickelodeon network comprises seven dedicated entertainment channels for kids aged 4-15 and their families: Nickelodeon, Nickelodeon HD, Nickelodeon+1, Nicktoons, Nick Jr., Nick Jr. +1 and Nick Jr. Too. The entertainment company has built a diverse multi-platform business by putting kids first in everything it does – Kids Rule! Content is at the core of the business with critically acclaimed and hugely-popular television programming from the UK and around the world. In addition to the quality television programmes, Nickelodeon also produces bespoke content available online and on Nick Play, as well as consumer product and recreation opportunities such as the UK’s first-ever Nick theme park, Nickelodeon Land and the Nickelodeon Store in Leicester Square.

Virginia will report to general manager of Nickelodeon UK & Ireland, Alison Bakunowich, who was the previous occupant of Monaghan’s role between 2011 and 2014.
In her role as Vice President, Commercial and Marketing Experiences for MTV and Comedy Central, Virginia worked with Sky Media, Viacom’s UK sales house, and Viacom’s ad sales team Viacom Velocity International.
