Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon: Malaysia’s first Nickelodeon themed attraction is now OPEN!
11:21 pm
Discover a hidden world covering ten acres of lush
tropical rainforest within a jungle previously “lost” to the public! This is
now a reality as Sunway and Viacom
International Media Networks (VIMN) announce the opening of the first
Nickelodeon
themed attraction in Asia, Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon in Sunway
Lagoon in Malaysia.
The launching day was attended by guest of honour, Selangor
Chief Minister, Yang Amat Berhormat Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Bin Ali;
Sunway Group founder and chairman Tan Sri, Dr. Jeffrey Cheah; Tan Sri Datuk Seri Razman
M. Hashim, Sunway Group deputy chairman and Mark Whitehead, Executive Vice
President and Managing Director, VIMN Asia. Attendees at the launch event were
privy to a showcase of fireworks and the iconic Nickelodeon green slime that
marked the opening of the park to the public.
No stone was left unturned in the creation of the Nickelodeon
Lost Lagoon which boasts 14 immersive attractions, some of which are
themed with Nickelodeon's hit properties, including SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora
the Explorer, and Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles. Visitors to Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon can expect
an exhilarating experience thanks to interactive play areas, which use the
latest in reactive technology in addition to a daily signature slime event, a
variety of waterslide rides, retail shops, games and a myriad of food service
establishments and more.
True to its name, Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon promises to
be an explorer’s dream right from the start. Climbing “ancient temple” steps,
explorers will pass pineapple columns and intricate carvings leading all the
way up to a magnificent SpongeBob SquarePants structure. The adventure
continues with geysers, sprouting water cannons, walks along cascading falls,
and gooey moments with the signature green slime.
Running deeper into the forest are suspended bridges over
rivers, more thrilling wet and wild activities as well as gravity defying rides
that twist around trees and hills. Breath-taking views greet visitors who
choose to dine and relax by the Lakeside restaurant. They might even have the
chance to meet and greet their favourite Nickelodeon characters. Nickelodeon
Lost Lagoon is an attraction suitable for all ages.
“This park is a fantastic addition to Sunway Lagoon and
one that will greatly boost the appeal of Selangor as a tourist destination. Nickelodeon
Lost Lagoon perfectly complements Selangor’s existing array of
attractions and will also be a boon to the nation’s growing tourism industry,”
said Yang Amat Berhormat Dato’ Seri Mohamed Azmin Bin Ali, Chief Minister of
Selangor.
Built with an investment of more than RM100 million, Nickelodeon
Lost Lagoon is the result of a joint initiative between Sunway Group
and VIMN, lending yet another layer of top-notch family-based fun to Sunway
Lagoon’s five existing parks, which include its Water Park, Amusement Park,
Extreme Park, Interactive Wildlife Park and Lynton V Harris Scream Park.
“We are pleased to have worked with Viacom International
Media Networks in bringing the first ever Nickelodeon themed attraction to
Malaysia. This is only made possible following the ongoing strong relationship
developed between Sunway and VIMN over the years through our many other
strategic collaborations,” said Tan Sri Datuk Seri Razman M. Hashim, Deputy Chairman
of Sunway Group.
Sunway Lagoon was named Asia’s Best Attraction by International
Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) four years in a row
since 2007.
“Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon
will enable kids and families in Malaysia and around Southeast Asia to connect
with our brand and Nickelodeon’s iconic characters in a unique and meaningful
way that will further deepen their relationship with Nickelodeon,” said Mark
Whitehead, Executive Vice President and Managing Director, Viacom International
Media Networks Asia. “Sunway Lagoon’s expertise has made them an ideal partner and
we are delighted to make it Nickelodeon’s Asia debut as we further expand the Nickelodeon
brand in the region”, he added.
