Nickelodeon Finds Malaysia Home In Sunway Lagoon
6:30 PM
I am
glad to be invited to the launch of Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon in Sunway Lagoon.
Nickelodeon finally finds Malaysia home in Sunway Lagoon. 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 Malaysia.
The
launch 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
Groupdeputy 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
establishment 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, walk along cascading falls, and gooey moments with the
signature green slime. It sounds interesting huh!
Running
deeper into the forest are suspended bridges over rives, 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
favorite Nickelodeon characters. I think Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon is an
attraction suitable for all ages. Don’t you think so?
“This
park is 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 milion, Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon is the
result of a joint initiative between Sunway Group and VIMN, leading 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 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.
Nickelodeon
Lost Lagoon opens to the public on 3 February 2016. The opening hours will be
from 10am to 6pm every Monday to Sunway. Enjoy the many attraction on offer at
Rm150 for those aged 12 years and above, and Rm120 for those below the age of

him over to Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon. :P
