Asia's first Legoland to open in Malaysia this year

Mon, 03/12/2012 - 13:56 — Anonymous by Hiufu WongYoung families in Asia, or
grown-ups with an uncontainable inner child, may want to pay a visit to
Malaysia this October. Legoland Malaysia has announced plans to open in Johor
Bahru in September or October 2012.  The 30-hectare, RM720 million (US$239
million) park will be the first of the Legoland theme parks outside Europe or
the United States and will feature 40 rides, shows and attractions and plenty
of opportunity to build things with small bricks and take them apart again.
You can dodge water blasts on the Aquazone Wave Racers in the Lego Technic
area. For those worried about the Malaysian heat, the park will also include
some specially designed features, such as more undercover shelters to provide
shade from the ever-shining Malaysian sun.  "Being located in the tropics
helps too because it is very beautiful and green with 3,500 trees to create
the natural park environment," says Matthew Law, public relations
representative for Legoland Malaysia.read more
