Six Flags theme park for Nigeria
BY Martin Nash



The Government of Cross River State of Nigeria (CRSG) and theme park company Six Flags have announced plans to develop a Six Flags branded theme park in Calabar Cross River State as part of the state's 'Destination Tourism' development plan.

Under the binding agreement, Six Flags will provide concept development and master planning services to CRSG for the creation of a Six Flags branded theme park located on about 250 acres (100 hectares) adjacent to Tinapa Business Resort.

Once the initial phase is finalised, Six Flags and CRSG will collaborate on the detailed design, development, construction and management of the park, which is scheduled to open in 2013.

Senator Liyel Imoke, Governor of Cross River State said: "The Calabar theme park project will be a signature leisure destination for residents and tourists in the West African sub-region. It will serve as a critical component of the State's tourism value chain, guaranteeing additional tourist traffic to existing attractions including the Tinapa Resort, Obudu Ranch Resort, and the Slave Museum."
