Hello

Nusajaya,Johor
JOHOR BARU, Nov 7 – Popular kiddie characters Barney, Thomas and
Friends, Bob the Builder and Hello Kitty will be among attractions
at the RM350 million, four-storey indoor theme park slated to be
opened to the public at the end of 2012.
The park, to be housed at Puteri Harbour in Nusajaya, will boast
a floor area of 60,000 square feet and another 100,000 square feet
of retail space.
It will also see our very own cartoonist Lat’s first-in-Malaysia
themed family restaurant.
Themed Attractions and Resorts (TAR) Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of
Khazanah Nasional, today signed an agreement with HIT Entertainment
Ltd, Sanrio Entertainment Ltd and Kampung Boy Sdn Bhd.
TAR also signed an agreement with the Shangri-La Hotels and
Resorts for the the development of a 300-room Traders Hotel, as
well as UEM Land, for the construction of the indoor theme
park.
Also present at the ceremony was Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Abdul
Ghani Othman.
According to TAR chief executive officer Tunku Datuk Ahmad
Burhanuddin, the indoor theme park would be an additional
attraction in Nusajaya and Iskandar Malaysia.
Construction of the indoor theme park, he said, was expected to
commence in the middle of next year.
“The indoor theme park reinforces Iskandar Malaysia as a
destination for families with children under 12 years. It further
complements the other attraction, following the signing with
Legoland Malaysia last year,” Tunku Ahmad Burhanuddin told
reporters here.
Meanwhile, Khazanah Nasional managing director Tan Sri Azman
Mokhtar said, the indoor theme park would create the desired
traffic to Nusajaya and Iskandar Malaysia. – Bernama
