Update Jan 2019 – The 1st Malaysia 20th Century Fox World Theme Park in Genting has been cancelled. This was announced by main news portals.

According to Genting Malaysia Berhad chairman Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, he said the partnership with 20th Century Fox would make Resorts World Genting one of the world’s top holiday destinations.
He also said the theme park’s investment was part of a RM3 billion Resort World Genting refurbishment programme, which includes constructing an additional 1,300 hotel rooms adjoining the First World Hotel.
Speculations are high with rides and attractions based on movies like Alien, Predator, Ice Age, Life of Pi and Night At The Museum.
