20th Century Fox World Theme Park Malaysia Opening
According to visitors who have recently been there, construction is around 60% and far from ready. The main image above is from Rookie Drone, who beautifully captured Genting Highlands from a drone photograph.
Many were hoping that the new theme park would open before or during the 2018 Chinese New Year period.
However, even they do not have any solid answers on the opening.

There is still a lot of work needed to be done, which looks like it will not be ready for the early 2018 opening.
Resorts World Genting casino resort – also known as Genting Highlands – is currently undergoing an extensive revamp.The project – dubbed the Genting Integrated Tourism Plan (GITP) – was launched in December 2013. It is a multi-phase initiative described as a 10-year, MYR10-billion (US$2.45-billion) master plan. The Malaysian property has already opened several new facilities and attractions. There will also be progressive openings for new mall and for new casino areas.
Genting Malaysia said last month it was “looking forward to the roll out” of a 20th Century Fox World Theme Park at Resorts World Genting, as well as to the opening of a new indoor theme park in 2018, as part of the GITP.
This, however, does not directly affect the 20th Century Fox Theme Parks, and no, it is not going to be renamed to Disney Malaysia Theme Park.
Some bloggers even go to the extent of copying or re-writing articles that I cover on tourism news, which is quite sad.

As mentioned, there is no official statement being released, and everything now is just plain speculation.
One contributor stated that the 20th Century Fox World Theme Park will only open its doors to the public once 80%-90% is confirmed completed.
For the lifestyle travellers, you should also take note that Southeast Asia’s top club Zouk was opening in Genting Highlands at the Sky Avenue Mall in 2018. This will be the highest club in Malaysia at 6000 feet above sea level.
For those planning to visit the new Genting theme park, you will most likely arrive in KL city before continuing your Genting journey.
There are many options for accommodations in the city, and for budget accommodations in Kuala Lumpur, there are plenty to choose from.
Till then, you can also look forward to the new world-class Desaru Coast project, which is scheduled to open somewhere in 2018.
