Iskandar Malaysia to get third theme park

Iskandar Malaysia is set to get its third theme park after Puteri Harbour Family Theme Park and Legoland Malaysia, says Iskandar Investment Bhd (IIB).

IIB President and Chief Executive Officer Datuk Syed Mohamed Syed Ibrahim said the park's investors will make an announcement in three to six months.

"The third theme park is oriented towards young adults and children," he told reporters at the Raffles American School groundbreaking ceremony at Educity, Nusajaya here Tuesday, without disclosing the park's location, construction cost or investors.

On Dec 27 last year, Bernama reported from Jakarta that Indonesian theme park developer PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol was planning to expand to Iskandar Malaysia.

According to its director Winarto, the company had been invited by the Malaysian government to open a theme park in Iskandar Malaysia and was scouting a suitable location.
