Family fun park on Batu Ferringhi shores
Wet World Wild Adventure Park features rock climbing, running track, trampoline, swings, slides, ponds, walls and a human catapult
A WIPEOUT-LIKE open sea water adventure park is set to open later this month at the shores of Batu Ferringhi here.
The first of its kind in Asia, the Wet World Wild Adventure Park (WWW) is a family fun interactive park on water, consisting of multitudes of obstacles that include rock climbing, running track, trampoline, swings, slides, ponds, walls and a human catapult.
Theme Park Concepts & Services Bhd chief executive officer Datuk Richard Koh said the structures were engineered in Germany and are TUV Safety Standards certified.
"WWW is making safety a priority where life jackets are compulsory. Lifeguards will also be stationed around the play area.
"Building the WWW is an exciting venture for TCPS and we hope to expand further as there is a need for fun and safe open sea water activities," Koh said in a press conference here yesterday, which was also attended by Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng.
With an initial investment of RM3 million for the first phase of the park, which measures 0.4ha, Koh said they hope to complete all five phases within a year.
"As for how big the entire park would be, this depends on how popular all the phases are.
"We will see the response to the product," he said.
When asked on the threat of jellyfish in the play area, located between Hard Rock Hotel and Parkroyal Hotel, Koh said they would be placing two or three layers of safety nets in the area.
A WWW challenge in the mould of Wipeout will also be held on a yearly basis throughout Asia, with awards being given, Koh added.
The adventure park will be operating during non-monsoon seasons with a maximum of 80 people for a session.
Entry tickets are priced at RM30 per two-hour sessions. The park will be opened from 8am to 6pm.
An example of how the Wet World Wild Adventure Park in Batu Ferringhi, Penang, will look like when it opens to the public in September.
