As Malaysia is seeing a massive influx of theme parks in the coming years, it was the right strategy for the Genting Group to up their game in this field of entertainment. In just two years, at least 4 new theme parks have opened in Malaysia with more on the way and Genting's joint venture with 20th Century Fox is a winning formula where a lack of international attractions are found in Malaysia.
The current Genting Theme Park will be closed for renovations while in 2014 and 2015, there will be a lot of hype which has been planned for the opening of the 20th Century Fox Theme Park here in Malaysia.
