The awards programme is a renowned event that highlights the best in the travel and entertainment industry.
Situated in the vibrant coastal region of Sattahip, a short drive from Pattaya, Columbia Pictures Aquaverse offers a unique blend of movie-inspired rides and attractions. These include water rides, land-based thrill attractions, and live entertainment, all designed to immerse guests in their favourite Hollywood blockbusters and spark intrigue and excitement.
Opened on 12 October 2022, the park is a collaborative effort between Sony Pictures Entertainment and attractions developer Amazon Falls.
Strategically positioned within Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor, a region slated for significant development into a global destination with enhanced infrastructure, Columbia Pictures Aquaverse is easily accessible for visitors of all ages. This emphasis on convenience and accessibility will make the audience feel at ease and more likely to consider a visit.
Visitors can enjoy themed zones that bring various movie universes to life, including “Ghostbusters,” “Jumanji,” “Hotel Transylvania,” and “Zombieland.”
“The Beast” zone features Asia’s tallest water park attractions, boasting an 18-meter vertical drop. Land attractions include the “Bad Boys Race Club” go-kart track and “The Emoji Movie” mini golf. The park also features a mega wave pool that transforms into a cinematic experience, hosting music events, movie screenings on giant LED screens, and live shows with concert-grade Dolby DTS surround sound.
“The Aquaverse is not just a theme park; it’s a testament to the power of immersive storytelling, inviting visitors to ‘experience adventures beyond the screen’,” Columbia Pictures Aquaverse stated.
Despite being relatively new, Columbia Pictures Aquaverse has already garnered international attention and recognition. It was named one of the world’s best new theme parks by CNN Travel and served as the venue for significant events, including LEO SUPREME Presents Aqua Fest and Miss Grand Chon Buri 2025.
