20th Century Fox World Studio Store Genting Malaysia

Opening of 20th Century Fox World Studio Store Malaysia

On 21st April, the 20th Century Fox World Studio Store officially opened in Genting, Malaysia. This was huge news as it leads to the opening of the 20th Century Fox World Theme Park, where both are the first in the world.

The 20th Century Fox World Studio Store in Malaysia is the first Fox Studio store where visitors can purchase special and unique collectables, memorabilia, and apparels from popular 20th Century Fox movies.

Having been to many events and launching over the years, I have to take my hat off to Resorts World's people for organizing such a simple and straightforward event launching.

There was no protocol and time-wasting. The event was to be launched at 12 noon, and it all went smoothly like clockwork, and by 12.05 PM, the guests were already in the store.

Where is the 20th Century Fox World Store in Malaysia? 

The flagship Fox World Store is located on the second level of SkyAvenue Genting. It is also located just next to Japanese apparel outlet Uniqlo.

SkyAvenue Genting is the main lifestyle and entertainment area for Resorts World Genting and is a brand new concept that targets all walks of life who visit this highland resort.

How to go to Genting SkyWorlds Malaysia?

Generally, there are two main ways to get to Resorts World Genting. By road via car or bus, or by the new and modern cable car system called Awana Skyway.

If you take the Awana Skyway, it will lead you directly into the 4th floor of SkyAvenue Genting. From there, you need to take the escalator down two levels to 20th Century Fox World Studio Store.

Once you are on level three and go down to level two, you will see the Fox World Studio Store in front of you. It is quite hard to miss, and if you do need help, just ask any of the staff working around SkyAvenue Genting.

The Awana Skyway can be accessed in Awana, where the Genting Premium Outlets is located. The cable car station is the next building to GPO. There is ample parking there at RM3.00 an hour.

Well, the big question still remains - When is the 20th Century Fox World Theme Park opening? As I spoke briefly to Brian Machamer, the senior vice-president of RWG Theme Parks, he clearly stated that there is no official announcement.

Brian also claimed that a world-class theme park takes around 4-5 years to complete in the international standards.

The news came out in 2013 about the new theme park in Genting, and the timeline is following the standards.

Conclusion

The good news is that the new Genting theme park will see its doors open by the end of 2018 or early 2019 if everything goes according to plan.

For further reading, I created an interesting list of 10 facts about 20th Century Fox World Theme Park.

Update 2020 - This theme park project has been cancelled.
Update 2021 - The new place will be called Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park and opening in Q2 or Q3 of 2021.

For anyone who is visiting Resorts World Genting, you still have the opportunity to visit the 20th Century Fox World Studio Store at SkyAvenue, which opened on 21st April 2018.

And while you are here, do take the opportunity to look around as you never know what you may end up getting.
