The initial article on the 20th Century Fox Theme Park was done by me in 2013, while much has changed since the news came out. In 2013, Resorts World Genting attracted 19.6 million visitors, and it is now targeting 30 million visitors by 2020.
To date, the last known news was that the entire project has been rescheduled to open in 2017, but there is no exact date mentioned. 20th Century Fox World Genting will also have a soft opening before the official launching.
Till then, you can always check the many other theme parks in Malaysia to visit if you were coming here in 2016.
