First indoor Angry Birds park in SE Asia
Johor Corporation (JCorp) is targeting 150,000 visitors to its Angry Birds Activity Park (ABAP), the first indoor park of its kind in Southeast Asia during its launch on Friday.
The RM17 million ABAP is located on the third floor of Komtar Johor Baru City Centre (JBCC).
The park, spanning 2,415 sq metres, was developed by Damansara Assets Bhd, a subsidiary of JCorp, in collaboration with Angry Birds founder Rovio Entertainment Ltd which is based in Finland.
JCorp president and chief executive officer Datuk Kamaruzzaman Abu Kasim said children would enjoy the Red Bird Sona interactive playground, Lazer Maze Spaceship, Classic Tower Plan, Go! Kart and Anti-Gravity Trampolines.
“Youths will be thrilled by the Lazer Bird Shoot, Space Drop Airbag, Panna Soccer, Red Bird Goat and Air Parkour Track.
“For younger kids and toddlers, there is the Spinning Time Machine, Piggy Shooting Gallery, Captain Black Bird Ship and Sand Castle Ball Pit.”
Kamaruzzaman said this at the pre-launch of the park on Sunday.
He also said that the main attraction of the park is that it would provide a new form of entertainment for Angry Birds fans from overseas and locally.
“We are expecting 150,000 visitors within a year of its launch, but the number may reach up to 200,000, with the support of our partners,” he said, adding that they are constantly on the lookout for international brands to bring into Johor.
“We want to restore Komtar JBCC to be the city’s premier shopping, lifestyle, dining and entertainment centre.
“We have brought 30 per cent new branded retailers who are making their first appearance in Johor Baru in the mall,” he said.
Also present at the pre-launch were Rovio Entertainment director of sales and relationships Yonna Nummela; Damansara Assets executive director Yusaini Sidek and Mutiara Johor Corporation chairman Datin Noor Laila Yahaya.
“Angry Birds is popular among people of all ages around the world, and fans in Malaysia and neighbouring countries,” he said.
Admission to the park is RM75 while holders of MyKad or MyKid pay only RM60.
“We have a wide range of individual tickets and unlimited annual passes for visitors to choose from, as well as for student groups with a minimum of 30 people.
“Children can also celebrate their birthdays here with our Angry Birds package deals,” he said.
Angry Birds brand has become an international success since its creation in 2009.
The park will open daily from 10am to 10pm.
