Die-hard fans of 'Hunger Games' in China may soon be able to determine if the odds are forever in their favour as visiting District 12 will soon no longer be an imagination but a reality.

The New York Times reports that two new indoor entertainment centers are set to be built for Hunger Games fanatics. The said theme parks will be located in Atlanta, United States and Hengqin, Zhuhai, southern China. They are set to open in 2019 and late 2018, respectively.

Contrary to Disney and Universal Studios, Lions Gate has made it clear that they are not directly constructing the parks, but rather giving movie properties license to developers who will pay for the expenses. According to Time, the soon-to-rise Avatron Smart Park needs to gather $625 million allocation.

All the rides and attractions in the theme parks will be solely based on the movie. Digital Trends reports that some thrilling details to look forward to such as a roller coaster ride based from the train Katniss Everdeen rode and hovercraft tour over the fictional city Panem.

Speaking about the 'Hunger Games' theme park, chief brand officer Tim Palen said "The more we thought about it, the more we realized there was a major opportunity - not just to create something smart and captivating that Hunger Games fans would love, but to bring all of our franchises alive in new ways."

Meanwhile, in London, a theatrical show of the movie is set to open this summer. On the other hand, fans in Dubai will soon be able enjoy a new Motiongate theme park with a 'Hunger Games' zone late in 2016. It reportedly has its own version of District 12 as well as the bakery where our darling Peeta worked. The park will also feature properties from other films like 'Step Up' and 'Divergent.'

The second part of the much awaited Mockingjay will come to the big screen this month.
