Wet attraction at i-City

Water World will be the next attraction at i-City in Shah Alam, adding another fun element to the area.

I-Bhd chief executive officer and executive director Datuk Eu Hong Chew said the attraction would be opened in November. “A tornado ride, which is the first in Southeast Asia, will be part of the Water World,” he said.

Eu said this during i-Bhd’s visit to Menara Star in Petaling Jaya recently, when he gave a briefing on i-City’s future plans. The 29.14ha i-City is made up of MSC offices, residential development and leisure components. “Our approved built-up area was five million sq ft when we started, and now the figure has been increased to 13 million sq ft,” Eu said.

Snowalk and the digital lights are the main attractions which draw visitors to i-City. “The two are recurring investments as we continue to refresh the themes every year.

“In December last year, seven theme park rides were introduced, and Kid Zone, a 10,000 sq ft gym area for children, was opened this year,” he said. Moving on, Clarke Quay @ i-City and i-City South Data Centre complex are in the pipeline. The team of i-Bhd representatives was led by i-Bhd executive chairman Tan Sri Lim Kim Hong.
