RM500,000 to 17 underprivileged schools and orphanages in Johor.

LEGOLAND Malaysia is operated by Merlin Entertainments Group, the second largest theme park operator in the world. “Today is an important occasion for LEGOLAND Malaysia, as we are officially

opened by His Royal Highness The Sultan of Johor. It’s amazing to think we broke ground for this magnificent family theme park just three years ago,” said Mr Nick Varney, CEO of Merlin Entertainments Group.

“LEGOLAND Malaysia is a key step in Merlin’s continued development as an international, highgrowth,

family entertainment business with strong brands. This is the largest family theme park destination in Southeast Asia and its strategic location in the Iskandar region makes it accessible to local and Singapore residents, as well as international visitors. I truly believe that together with our partners we can bring new investment, prosperity and growth to this region making it the Orlando of Southeast Asia.”

LEGOLAND Malaysia is the first LEGOLAND Park in Asia and the sixth in the world. The Park has more than 40 rides, shows and attractions spread over an impressive 76 acres. It offers an interactive and educational adventure for families with children between the ages of 2 and 12. LEGOLAND Malaysia is also the ultimate experience for LEGO® fans and is full of models made from more than 50 million LEGO bricks. Future plans are in place for LEGOLAND Malaysia to be the largest family destination resort in Southeast Asia. A Water Park and Hotel are already under construction for opening in 2013.
