IPOH: Fans of local hero BoboiBoy, Smurfs
and Dreamworks Animation Studio can now relive their dreams and enjoy
their company right here in Malaysia.
More than 7,000 excited visitors thronged the much anticipated Movie
Animation Park Studios’ (MAPS) soft opening at Bandar Meru Raya here
yesterday.
They were among the first to experience the country and Asia’s first animation-centred theme park, costing RM520mil.
Adults converged at the Stunt Legends Arena where South-East Asia’s
first thrilling car and bike live stunt shows were performed. And the
children joined BoboiBoy and friends in an exciting 4D motion adventure
on the Floating Island.
The “action-packed” 15-minute show left many, including forklift driver Wun Chee Seng, in awe.
“It was my first experience in a 4D theatre. I must say it was pretty
intense,” said the 40-year-old, who was with his wife and two children.
“We were sprayed by water and felt jolts of lightning.”
At the Fantasy Forest Zone, one of six themed zones offering over 40
attractions within the 21ha theme park, K’ng Wen Fei, six, braved the
Whirling Wizard, a child-friendly drop tower with her brothers Yu Hai,
10, and Yu Shien, nine.
“I wasn’t scared at all. I can’t wait to
grow up and ride on the Megamind Megadrop,” she said of the country’s
tallest drop tower that descends 52m within three seconds at the Dream
Zone.
Teacher Norfazilatun Mohd Zin, 45, who came with her husband Mohd
Faris Othman, 44, and daughter Farahusna, 14, said: “It’s really
impressive, much more than we expected.
“We’re spending a really special Hari Raya together this year.”
Animation Theme Park Sdn Bhd director Ramelle Ramli said they received “very positive feedback” from visitors.
“We are very satisfied with the overall operations, including aspects of safety and security.
“Some minor hiccups will be addressed promptly so that the people can enjoy themselves thoroughly in the park,” he said.
Ramelle said plans were in the pipeline for more new attractions,
including a roller coaster ride, while The Dream Zone and a few more
rides were under “technical rehearsals”.
He expressed confidence that MAPS would receive about one million visitors a year. “May be, even 1.2 million,” he said.
“We’ve been actively promoting MAPS on roadshows in India, Nepal, China, Indonesia and Singapore.
“In addition, we are also working closely with local and foreign tour
agents, Tourism Malaysia and Tourism Perak to promote MAPS,” he said.
In conjunction with the soft opening, those who purchase Day Passes
at RM131 (adults) and RM104 (children and senior citizens) via www.mapsperak.com until Friday will receive complimentary entry tickets for a second visit.

Dalam perjalanan balik dari rumah pengantin tadi, singgah di Movie Animation Park Studios site, movie animation park yang pertama di Asia yang akan dibuka pada pertengahan tahun 2016. Animation park ini di kawasan Meru, Ipoh i.e bersebelahan lebuhraya PLUS ( laluan arah Jelapang -KL ) i.e berhampiran tol Jelapang.
Hari ini & esok sahaja ( 28 Feb 2016 ), MAPS menawarkan tiket masuk pada kadar diskaun. Season pass untuk orang Perak ialah RM180 (pengunjung negeri lain RM280) untuk pass setahun dengan 'unlimited entry'. Ini bermakna jika kita masuk MAPS setiap hari dalam setahun, cajnya hanya RM0.50 sahaja....hehehe. Tiket single entry ialah RM155 . Beli 3 tiket dapat satu tiket free.
