In other Viacom International news, VIMN has partnered with global leisure park operator Parques Reunidos and UK-based shopping center developer intu to create a Nickelodeon-themed indoor family entertainment center at intu’s London-based Lakeside center. Set to open in 2018, the new 50,000-square-foot center will feature Nickelodeon-themed rooms for birthday parties and family gatherings, interactive adventure zones, character meet-and-greets and a retail space.
