How many of you remember Resorts World Genting's First World Indoor Theme Park from your childhood days?
After being closed for nearly one and a half years, the indoor entertainment space has been given new life.
Introducing Skytropolis Funland!
The whole space has been transformed. Spreading across four floors, the newly revamped indoor theme park is a portal to a new dimension of fun covering more than 400,000 square feet of thrilling adventures and adrenaline-packed rides!
You won't miss this space thanks to the mega large LED screens on the walls and ceiling, as well as the thousands of colourful light bulbs that deck out each ride on the ground.
Look at how big this place is! With the new space, 13 rides have been introduced and another nine will follow suit. There will also be seven new cutting-edge rides for visitors to experience for the very first time!
Now, if you were an avid fan of the previous Resorts World Genting outdoor theme park, you'd be thrilled to know that 15 old favourites were brought in with a whole new look.
Go swimming with the rubber ducks. As these rides were a big part of almost every Malaysian's childhood, they're coming back bigger and better than ever! For example, the Super Glider, previously known as the Superman roller coaster.
Let's talk more about the rides you'll get to enjoy at the brand new Skytropolis Funland. First and foremost, the rides are divided into several categories -- Children, Family and Thrill.

Children

The carnival atmosphere is undeniable. For the kids, things start off merrily in the Ride ‘Em Round, a classic carousel of pastiche elephants, lions and horses whirling around, like what you see in the movies. Then, pick up the pace in the Whirly Bugs ride, where kids will be seated in pods rotating swiftly around a central spire. Boo Boo Bump gives the classic bumper cars a new spin, while Loop De Loop rotates frantically around an illuminated wrought-iron Genting Tower to screams of joy.

Family

Merry-Go-Round and round and round. Adults won't feel left out with rides meant for the whole family to enjoy. First, get the adrenaline started with the Copper Express vintage as it 'choo-choos' its way along a 61-metre track, providing a visual tour of Skytropolis Funland. Next, Space Cadets elevates and spins passengers around for an exhilarating exploration of the solar system. Then, bring things down to earth with a regal spin on the Royal Carousel, or stay up in the sky in emulation of Phileas Fogg and his journey 'Around the World in 80 Days' in the Balloon Race.

Thrill

Don't go on this ride after a meal. Adrenaline junkies can also take things up a notch in Thrill rides. Start on the ground in a super-sized version of bumper cars meant for guests who are kids at heart in Bumper Boss. Then prepare to soar high as Sky Tower takes guests up to the top of an Art Deco tower at a leisurely pace, only to drop them at thrilling speeds to the base.
They sure love their spinning rides, don't they? Disco! will challenge guests’ orientation, swirling them around a disco ball on a rollercoaster track, while Spin Crazy shows the world from very different angles where up is down and right is left, looping 360 degrees in the air around a central axis. Power Surge is an intense high-flying ride that will have you round and round and upside down, literally.

The VOID

If you love exploring the virtual reality world, this is the place for you. The VOID is a highly anticipated hyper reality experience that features cutting-edge technology and world-class content, spanning more than 7,000 square feet. It is the biggest centre out of North America and the first and biggest in Asia!
Be a Storm Trooper in 'Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire'. The VOID uses custom VR technology along with physical stages to create immersive experiences that inspire exploration and engagement. It comes with titles from well-loved franchises, such as Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire, Ralph Breaks VR, Ghostbusters and an original spooky experience: Nicodemus: Demon of Evanishment.

BigTop

Every child's dream. Visitors can let their fun side loose and venture into a day of family fun at the new BigTop Video Games Park, lit with colourful light bulbs that offer limitless photo opportunities. Rest in between rides with carnival-style game kiosks, redemptions machines and video games at the 21,738 sq ft area. This circus-themed arcade at Level 2 of Skytropolis also promises the best range of cutting edge games for arcade lovers with a whopping total of 150 machines, including the Spacetime Squad Virtual Reality game, PacMan Battle Royale, the Jurassic Park, the Star Wars Battle Pod and Storm Racer G.

Imaginatrix

This July, visitors can also run, race, research and reveal new worlds in the Imaginatrix area. The latest in VR gaming technology will be showcased with industry leading immersive VR experiences from Europe, Canada, the United Kingdom, South Korea and Taiwan.
The VR Arcade area is where visitors can enter multiple universes using VR technology whilst the Themed Premium Experiences will take virtual reality to another level where imagination becomes real. The area will include five main VR attractions including a selection of state-of-the-art VR experiences, some available exclusively for the first time in Malaysia.

Eagle Landing Zipline

Those who have interest in heights, you can go for the Eagle Landing Zipline, which stretches 200 metres across the indoor theme park, four floors from the ground. The zip line is also the longest in a shopping mall in Malaysia! If you want to draw some attention from the people below, just scream all the way.
Bright neon lights all around. There are pay-per-ride tickets available priced at RM10 on weekdays and RM15 on weekends, public holidays, eve of public holidays, and school holidays.
But if you're up for an unlimited experience of the available rides, there is a Skytropolis Funland Preview Pass available at RM60. You can either purchase tickets at the ticketing counters, self-service ticketing kiosks or online.
