Resorts World Genting unveils lands and rides at SkyWorlds attraction
Resorts World Genting has unveiled the themed worlds, rides and attractions that are set to open at its new Genting SkyWorlds theme park in Malaysia.
The Genting SkyWorlds theme park at Resorts World Genting (RWG) in Malaysia’s highland will boast nine themed lands inspired by original intellectual properties as well as 20th Century Studios brands.
These include Ice Age, Rio, Epic, Robots, Night at the Museum, Independence Day and Planet of the Apes.
The opening date for the much-delayed theme park is still uncertain, with some media reports suggesting it will be in December this year.
However, as Greg Pearn, Head of Theme Parks and Experiences at RWG, explains “right now, our priority is ensuring we play our part in safeguarding the health and safety of our employees and guests, even if that means delaying the opening for a short while.
“Myself and the team are confident the good times aren’t too far away and we can look up to brighter days when we open the gates to our incredible theme park and present the unique, fun and amazing adventures Genting SkyWorlds has to offer.
“What we have created is extraordinary and definitely going to be worth the wait!”

Eagle Mountain a Californian desert themed land and home to the world’s first dual-powered coaster bike ride, Mad Ramp Peak Full Throttle Racing.
