Costing over US$300 million, this first ever film-inspired theme park located up in the cool highlands of Malaysia will surely be the magnet of tourism for Southeast Asia and even greater Asia. This massive theme park is also taking over the 30-year old iconic Genting Theme Park which has since closed in September 2013 to make way for the new park.
In total, the entire 20th Century Fox World Genting theme park located 6000 feet in the highlands will be 25 acres in size and will feature around 25 thrill rides and attractions based on films and franchises from popular movies and cartoons. Their aim is simple - to bring the rich storytelling by Fox to a whole new level with an interactive theme park for all walks of life.

The massive overall project is part of a RM5 billion makeover of the Genting Highlands resort, which started in December 2013 and scheduled to be completed in 10 years under the Genting Integrated Tourism Plan. The initial article on the 20th Century Fox Theme Park was done by me in 2013, while much has changed since the news came out. In 2013, Resorts World Genting attracted 19.6 million visitors and it is now targeting 30 million visitors by 2020.
