According to RWG’s head of theme parks, Gregory Pearn, the theme park will also include rides that will be the first of its kind in the world and that details on these attractions will be unveiled soon.
Beside that, Genting SkyWorlds has partnered with Alibaba to utilise virtual queue technology so tourists can pre-book their spot on rides and attractions.
The company is currently putting the finishing touches on the theme park which will incorporate 20th Century studio brands and intellectual properties (IPs) among its rides and attractions. These included Ice Age, Night at the Museum and Planet of the Apes.
Genting SkyWorlds will create jobs when they open the park and it will directly boost tourism in Pahang and Malaysia
RWG’s head of business operations and strategy Lee Thiam Kit said that the group is committed to opening the park this year despite the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and movement control order (MCO).
“We’re committed to this park and we will see to it that it opens, barring unforeseen circumstances. Going forward, when we open, there will be jobs created and the park will add economic activity directly and indirectly as well as a boost to tourism in Malaysia and Pahang,” he said.
