Legoland Theme Park new attraction for tourists in Malaysia

The park is set to open for business on September 15 at the Iskander Corridor, a dedicated economic development zone.

Tourists visiting Universal Studios in Singapore can also drive across the causeway and visit the Legoland Theme Park in Johor, situated in the southern tip of Malaysia, nearer to Singapore than Kuala Lumpur.

Legoland Malaysia general manager Siegfried Boerst said the theme park, spread across a 76-acre land in Iskandar Malaysia, was 75 per cent complete.

He said that last month, the contractors began work on theming the park, and next month they would begin installing 50 million Lego bricks and models.

 

Legoland Malaysia is the sixth Legoland Theme Park in the world and the first in Asia.

The park, with seven special themes namely Lego kingdom, imagination, land of adventure, lego technic, the beginning, lego city and miniland, is especially designed for children from two to 12 years of age.

Boerst said over 35,000 annual passes had been sold and 60 per cent of the buyers were Malaysians.

Legoland Malaysia expects to attract one million visitors in its first year of operation.
