Beautifully designed: The entrance to Sanrio Hello Kitty Town, which is the first one in the world outside of Japan at the RM115mil four-storey Puteri Harbour Indoor Theme Park in Nusajaya.
The opening of another theme park in Iskandar Malaysia is set to attract more tourists to Johor and boost the state’s tourism sector.
The Puteri Harbour Indoor Theme Park is the second to open in Nusajaya last month after Asia’s first Legoland Theme Park opened in September this year. The four-storey indoor theme park which opened its doors on October 26, offers theme cafes, seven rides including a train, windmill, helicopter and bumper car for both children and adults.
Popular caricature Lat’s Kampung Boy café is expected to open at the end of the year. The RM115mil theme park houses the first Sanrio Hello Kitty Town in the world outside Japan.
HIT Entertainment’s The Little Big Club lovable characters like Bob the Builder, Barney, Angelina Ballerina and Thomas and Friends also have made the park their “home”.
Happy faces : Tourists from The Phillippines grabbing the chance to hug and snap photos with Hello Kitty mascots.
Children as well as adults were equally excited at the sight of the adorable cartoon characters came “alive” right before their very own eyes.
They could pose photographs with the life-sized mascots of Hello Kitty and her friend Daniel. Or learn ballet moves with Angelina Ballerina and even watch live performances by Barney and Thomas and Friends. Visitors especially children were seen squealing in excitement as they went into Hello Kitty’s multi-hues coloured complete with furniture.
Best friends from SJKC Ming Terk in Gelang Patah, Tin Jing Xian and K. Anusha, both 11, said that they could not sleep the night before because they were too excited to visit the theme park. “The Hello Kitty mini street parade is my favourite part of the theme park as the characters are very entertaining with their lively dance and colourful costumes,’’ said Tin.
Lots of choices: A Hello Kitty maze game that visitors can participate in at the theme park in Nusajaya.
Anusha on the other hand, enjoyed the Thomas and Friend bumper car rides. Singaporean Mohd Hashim Abu Othman, 50, said he and his 26-year old wife jumped at the chance to visit the theme park.
“The hotel staff told us about its opening, so we decided to visit it as well as the Legoland. My wife was more excited than our two-year old son and she kept snapping photos of the rides on her mobile phone,’’ he said.
