Galaxyland, the amusement park set inside West Edmonton Mall in Alberta, Canada, is undergoing a transformation that will see it become the first Hasbro-themed amusement park in the country.

The licensing agreement between the two parties will see Hasbro brands such as My Little Pony, Monopoly, GI Joe, Play-Doh, Battleship and Operationbrought to life through more than 25 rides, games and attractions in a 3.5 acre space.

It will also feature a unique Hasbro retail experience and themed food service establishments.

With construction already underway, the grand opening is scheduled to take place in Q4 2020, with the park being renamed "Galaxyland powered by Hasbro". However, the amusement park will remain open throughout development of the Hasbro-themed attractions.

"Galaxyland has been providing entertainment to locals and visitors from around the world for more than three decades, and we're thrilled to bring a number of exciting rides and activities themed to so many of Hasbro's iconic brands," said Matt Proulx, vice president of location based entertainment at Hasbro.

The amusement park at West Edmonton Mall includes what is claimed to be the world's tallest and longest indoor rollercoaster, and the world's tallest indoor tower ride.
