EAP News of 30 Sept 2021), the theme park has now signed further contracts for its realization. Futura Form, a design and theming company belonging to the Turkish Polin Group, will supply the composite design elements. General Manager Ali Cuneyt Sayin looks forward to the joint project development: “By joining with such prestigious companies as Gardaland and Merlin, we can offer advancements in technology and other offerings that will help push all of our businesses to higher standards.
