Six Flags Entertainment is planning a second Six Flags-branded theme park in China, alongside an integrated water park.
The company has signed an agreement with developer Riverside Investment Group Co. Ltd for a dual park in Bishan, Chongqing.
"Developing two parks in Chongqing, the most populous municipality in China, is another step forward in executing our long-term strategy to expand our brand outside of North America and bring Six Flags thrills to millions of new guests,"said John Duffey, Six Flags CEO.
"Riverside is an excellent partner and we share a common vision to develop multiple Six Flags-branded parks in China."
No specific details have been disclosed yet nor an expected start date for construction.
The first Six Flags park in China is due to open in 2019 in Haiyan, Zhejiang province, near Shanghai.
"As the exclusive strategic partner of Six Flags in China, we are excited about the development of two parks in Chongqing. With the ongoing support of the Chinese government and the strength of the Six Flags brand, we are confident these projects will provide strong economic growth in China," said Li Zhe, chairman of the Riverside Investment Group.
