Legoland Malaysia to be best integrated resort for families

   

With the addition of a water theme park and hotel, Legoland Malaysia is poised to become the best fully-integrated resort for families in Asia.

"The Legoland theme park as well as the Legoland water theme park for families with children is something that doesn't exist before in the region and it will be a great addition," said Siegfried Boerst, General Manager at Legoland.

He added, "together with the hotel, we will have a full theme resort here for families to stay on a short break or vacation."

The RM720 million Legoland Malaysia theme park located in Nusajaya within Iskandar Malaysia and Johor administrative centre is slated to open this Saturday. Built from around 30 million Lego bricks, the 31ha park features 40 rides, displays and shows.

Boerst said the company expects a large turnout during the opening of the theme park.

"We have sold several thousand tickets in advance, not all are dated, so we don't really know how many people are coming on the first day, but we have sold a lot of annual passes, tickets that can be used within the six months and three months, so we expect a large turnout on the first day," he revealed.

Meanwhile, the construction of the water theme park has commenced and is expected to be completed in Q2 2013, while the Legoland Hotel adjacent the theme park is scheduled to open in early 2014.
