Leider habe ich nicht wirklich viele Informationen über dieses Projekt gefunden, da aber folgendes von Premier Rides auf Facebook gepostet wurde, dürfte klar sein, dass da auf alle Fälle etwas entsteht:

Hier mal ein Artikel zu dem Projekt, scheint ja echt ein großer Park zu werden!

Manmohan Shetty’s Adlabs to build Rs 1.6k-crore theme park near Mumbai

Manmohan Shetty's Adlabs Entertainment is building Rs 1,600-crore theme park on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and the entertainment entrepreneur has secured two-thirds of the total project cost in debt from a consortium of 14 banks led by Union Bank.

"It took nearly 18 months to get the 14 banks to see and believe in my vision, as they did not have any previous benchmark to go by," said Shetty who will cough up the rest of the project cost as equity.

Called Adlabs Imagica, the project coming up on a 300-acre plot will redefine the theme park experience in the country, he said. It will be rolled out in three phases, with the first phase scheduled to open to the public by March next year.

Spread over 110 acres, the first phase will have about 21 international standard rides including the country's largest roller coaster and 4D stimulation rides.

Phases two and three will include a water park and a three-star hotel, Shetty said. The travel time from both Mumbai and Pune will be around one hour.

"We have chosen Mumbai as the location, since it is the financial capital of India and has the most attractive catchment to support the entire eco-system of a project of this magnitude and scale," Shetty said.

While entry prices are not yet fixed, it is expected to be around Rs 1,400-1,500 per person.

Ticket prices would form 75 per cent of the revenue, with the rest coming from food and beverages as well as merchandise sale.

Shetty said he is also open to dilute the equity in an appropriate time with the right partners and valuation. He said the theme park can accommodate 20,000 visitors at any given time and that the water park will be added in the first year itself.

"We are looking at targeting above 3 million visitors in the first year of operations," he said.

A maverick entertainer, Shetty founded Adlabs Films Ltd as an advertising films processing company in 1976. Soon, the firm ventured into feature film processing by setting up a state-of- the- art laboratory in Film City, Mumbai and processed 80 per cent of all films made.

After going public at the turn of the century and expanding into the film exhibition business, Shetty sold his stake to Anil Dhirubai Ambani Group, and two years later set up his own Walkwater Media and began producing films.

Der Adlabs Gründer Manmohan Shetty wurde vor kurzem interviewt, hinter ihm ist wohl ein Plan des Parks zu sehen:

Das Layout auf dem Plan sieht aus wie eine B&M Bahn, dies würde zu dem Gerücht passen, dass der Park einen B&M Floorless Coaster erhält :)

Hier mal ein Artikel zum Park:

Dinosaur, disaster theme park to woo Indian tourists

Dinosaurs, rides named after Hindu gods and a dash of Bollywood put the spotlight on a new theme park on the outskirts of Mumbai that promoters say would match the lure of Disneyland and the Universal Studios theme park in Hollywood.

Adlabs Imagica, built at the cost of 11 billion rupees, opens next week and aims to woo India's growing middle class with more spending power for tourism.
Promoter Manmohan Shetty, founder of media and entertainment firm Adlabs, said it was difficult to manage costs and rationalise ticket prices for a facility built at a seventh of what a theme park outside India would cost.
"When Universal puts a theme park in Singapore, it's 1.2 billion dollars which is 7,500 crore (75 billion) rupees and they charge in dollars," Shetty told Reuters in an interview. "We couldn't afford that kind of investment."
Located some 75 km from Mumbai and spread across 300 acres, the theme park includes a dinosaur ride with the name Rajasaurus and a disaster ride showcasing the Indian gods for wind, fire and water.
"We have seen what is working best abroad and Indianised it and made it with Indian subjects and stories," Shetty said.
Also among the attractions is a six-minute Mr India simulation ride, based on the 1987 Bollywood blockbuster of the same name.
Entry tickets begin at 1200 rupees for adults, with weekends costlier by 300 rupees.
Shetty also plans a water park and a hotel at the same location and is in talks for similar theme parks in other parts of India.
The toughest part wasn't putting up the complex. Shetty had a hard time acquiring land and convincing Indian banks he had a viable project.
"They didn't know what theme parks are," he said. "All the public sector undertaking banks haven't been to Orlando or Disneyland, so it took time to convince them."
