PETALING JAYA: Gamuda Land hosted a ground-breaking ceremony for the country’s first Luge Activity Park by entertainment operator Skyline Enterprises, which will be open to the public by the next year end.
It will include a multi-cornered zipline as well as Malaysia’s first ski lift-ride. With themed landscaping along the route, developers hope to provide an exhilarating experience for visitors.
“By harnessing our expertise in town-making and leveraging fruitful collaboration with like-minded partners such as Skyline Enterprises for our community placemaking, today’s ceremony demonstrates how we are able to create sustainable developments which can cater to the needs and wants of people, especially ones that are surrounded by nature with ample public spaces for the community,” Gamuda Land chief operating officer Chu Wai Lune said.
“Skyline Enterprises' decision to expand its business in Malaysia is a testament of our country's growing positive business sentiment among the community of tourism investors,” Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) investment promotion and facilitation deputy chief executive officer (CEO) Sivasuriyamoorthy Sundara Raja said.
The third-largest contributor to Malaysia’s GDP comes from tourism, with Malaysia being one of the biggest Asean tourist attractions.
In line with the National Tourism Policy 2020-2030, MIDA aims to harness the competitiveness of Malaysia's tourism industry to attract high-value and innovative investments which will achieve the country’s socio-economic development objectives.
"The Skyline Luge Park in Gamuda Gardens will bring a different and exciting experience for our visitors. It is designed to work within the local terrain and will deliver an exciting ride from the top of the 40m elevated hill,” Skyline Enterprises CEO Geoff McDonald said.
Designed to complement the wet recreational rides of Play Park in Gamuda Gardens City Centre, the Luge Activity Park is aimed at providing dry recreational rides to anchor the city centre’s open-space malls by the end of 2023.
