SkyTropolis Indoor Theme Park
The SkyTropolis Indoor Theme Park in Resorts World Genting will be opening its doors by the end of 2018. This is also the upgrade from the previous indoor theme park which was located at the First World area.
In line with the all-new 20th Century Fox World theme park that is also scheduled to open by end of 2018 or early 2019, the SkyTropolis Indoor Theme Park will provide visitors with a whole new experience in family entertainment.

| What the First World Indoor Theme Park used to look like |
Currently, there is no official media statement on this indoor theme park, which I speculate that the news should be out by the mid of 2018.
Resorts World has been tight-lipped about both massive projects since announcing it in 2013, and there are no photos inside the indoor park.
Genting closed the previous First World indoor theme park in April 2017 for renovations of the new SkyTropolis Indoor Theme Park, and currently, a few attractions are already available to visitors.
What can we expect from the newly renovated and revamped Genting indoor theme park? This is a question that I was thinking about before writing this article.
Well, from the main promotional poster, we can see the Eiffel Tower, a Merry-Go-Round and a Ferris Wheel. There are also two Dodgem Cars which means that all of these will be available at SkyTropolis Genting.
One more thing stood out which is the Art Decor motive or design that is directly over the word SkyTropolis. It looks like a classic Broadway theme from the Great Gatsby era. I wonder if this element will be included in the overall theme.
But, it is the background of the poster that totally intrigues me, where Steampunk gears make up the overall image. Does this mean that the master theme of the indoor park will be Steampunk related? Or a mix between Art Decor and Steampunk?
If it is, then it will be awesome as the genre of Steampunk is something very niche in Malaysia, with not many people knowing what it is all about. I think this will bring a whole new perspective to themed entertainment.
