Super Park Amusement Park

edit

ICONSIAM formerly occupied the location where Super Park, an amusement park originating from Finland, was situated. It was inaugurated in November 2019 as the third installment in Southeast Asia, following similar parks in Singapore and Malaysia[39]. However, on September 25, 2020, Super Park announced a temporary closure for renovations due to extensive damage caused by heavy rainfall from the remnants of Typhoon Noul, which occurred between September 18-20, 2020. The park faced significant issues with its public utilities, drainage systems, and internal electrical systems. The renovation process had to be extended due to more extensive damage than initially anticipated. During this closure, only tenants within ICONSIAM were allowed to carry out necessary repairs.

The initial projection was that the renovation would last approximately two weeks[40]. However, on October 21, 2020, ICONSIAM publicly announced at the amusement park that “Super Park is permanently closed and is no longer the primary tenant of ICONSIAM.” This revelation generated inquiries and led customers to request refunds[41][42]. Presently, the area that once housed Super Park has been transformed into Mega Harborland, an amusement park and educational center specifically designed for children from Chonburi.
