Asia’s first Legoland — in Johor
JOHOR BARU, Dec 13 — Asia's first Legoland theme park, and only the fifth in the world, will be coming up at the Johor development corridor of Iskandar Malaysia. Work on the RM750-million project on a 145-acre site in Nusajaya, near Johor’s second link with Singapore, is expected to start early next year and be completed in 2013.
It will be developed and operated by the Blackstone Group of New York, an investment and advisory firm, under its Merlin Entertainments Group brand. Ownership, however, will be largely in the hands of Iskandar Investments with Merlin taking a minority stake.
The park is aimed at families with children between the ages of two and 12. Legoland, which started in Denmark, has sprung similar parks in Germany, England and California, and annual visitorship is around 1.5 million people at each of the parks.
The parks all have rides which are Lego-themed and made to appear as if they are built out of Lego bricks. They tend to be based on one particular line of Lego: For example, a popular ride at all four parks is the Dragon Coaster, which is loosely based on the Knights’ Kingdom Lego sets.
All the parks include a Lego miniland, a model village which includes models of landmarks and scenes from around the world made from millions of genuine Lego bricks. — TODAY
