The highly anticipated Movie Animation Park Studios in Ipoh Perak will be opening in July 2016 December 2016 26 June 2017 as confirmed by news reports and also on the MAPS Perak facebook and website news. This has also been the talk of the tourism industry as Ipoh in central Malaysia will soon offer a total of two major theme parks for visitors, the other being the Lost World of Tambun which is a full scale water theme park in the Tambun area of Ipoh.
Currently, the Movie Animation Park Studios or MAPS has not officially set a launching date in July which we suspect would be after the Hari Raya Holidays from the 6-7 July therefore, most likely towards the end of the month. This is also going to be Asia's First Animation Theme Park, over 40 attractions in 6 themed zones, all here in Ipoh, Perak.
