Genting SkyWorlds: New Theme Park With 9 Unique Zones For Adventure-filled Trips 6,000ft Above Sea Level

New theme park in Genting Highlands


When we speak of theme parks, many of us often fall back to the idea of an adventurous trip to a place with a single theme. But now, you can visit a theme park that’s designed after some of your favourite cartoons and movies with a combination of retail, dining and entertainment for a fun-filled adventure.

Situated on the sprawling hills of the Titiwangsa mountain range, about 6,000 feet above sea level, is Genting SkyWorlds. This theme park offers thrill-seeking Malaysians the chance to experience exhilarating rides and themed worlds as well as breathtaking sky views.

Here are some of the best rides and attractions at the new theme park.


26 rides and attractions for a fun-filled adventure


Genting SkyWorlds main entrance

This outdoor theme park is developed across 26 acres of land on Genting Highlands, featuring 26 rides and attractions that were designed after nine movie and adventure-inspired ‘worlds’, or zones: 

  • Andromeda Base
  • Central Park
  • Eagle Mountain
  • Epic
  • Ice Age
  • Liberty Lane
  • Rio 
  • Robots Rivet Town
  • Studio Plaza

Genting SkyWorlds - Studio Plaza

Each world has a mixture of rides, photo spots, themed environments, food and beverage outlets, and retail shops. Your journey will begin at Studio Plaza, an art-deco prelude lined with cafes and shops, which paves the way into the themed worlds.


Central Park


We recommend heading first to Central Park within Genting SkyWorlds.

Being the largest of all the worlds, it offers a wide selection of rides and attractions such as Night at the Museum: Midnight Mayhem – an action-packed 3D interactive ride, ESD Global Defender – a hybrid aerospace fighter swing ride, and Independence Day: Defiance – a ‘flying theatre’ for a space escapade.

Central Park also has a Natural History Museum, with a massive dinosaur fossil at the entrance and artefacts of tribal communities on display, and Lake of Dreams where visitors can enjoy a stunning fountain show paired with lively music and vibrant lighting effects.

If you’re up for more challenging rides, then Andromeda Base is highly recommended as the rides in this zone take visitors on a wildly exhilarating journey.

Alpha Fighter Pilots is another ride here where you can take an adventurous spin on 360° multi-directional rotating jets. 


Family-friendly worlds: Ice Age, Epic and Rio


Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park - Ice Age

There’s also Sid’s Rock ‘N’ Slide – a spinning log ride – and Mammoth Fun Zone at the Ice Age movie-themed zone for family-friendly rides and attractions.

Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park - Epic

We had fun on the Epic Hummingbird Flyers in the Epic zone – a spinning ride with flower and hummingbird seats that immerses you in a fairy garden modelled after the movie of same name.

This world is located at the corner of the theme park, so it offers great sky views of Genting Highlands too.  

Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park - Rio

For those looking for something cheery, Carnaval Chaos! at Rio, is worth checking out. This ride lets you spin into a whirlwind of fun in teacups adorned with colourful parrots, all against the backdrop of artsy Brazilian-style buildings.

The Blue Sky Carousel at the heart of this world that’ll excite children, as it features rides with characters from all three animated movie worlds – Epic, Ice Age and Rio.


Snack on delicious food along the way


If you think Genting SkyWorlds is another theme park similar to the ones that you have been to, then think again. Besides its variety of exciting rides, there are plenty of quirky and interesting foods to try out at the park as well. 

Food stall at Genting SkyWorlds

Each zone has its own food stalls or cafes that serves various dishes. There are local cuisine offerings such as nasi lemak, laksa, and nasi kandar as well as international foods – pizzas, hotdogs, shawarmas, tacos, and fish and chips.

SkyTub combo meal

We tried the Truffle Aioli Chicken Burger SkyTub Combo (RM35) from Classic Burgers at Eagle Mountain. The burger was made up of soft, potato buns and a juicy chicken patty, paired with a special truffle aioli sauce, melted cheese, pickled cucumber and onions, giving a burst of flavours in the mouth. 

This set comes with a soft drink and potato chips, served on a portable plastic cup with a tray-like lid and a straw, making it a convenient grab-and-go option for visitors.

There are sweat options too, such as churros from Orbits Fried Dough at Central Park, doughnuts and eclairs from Aunt Fanny’s Confectionery at Robots Rivet Town, and ice-cream and ais kacang from Crash and Eddie’s Frozen Treats at Ice Age.

Genting SkyWorlds - desserts

We recommend getting The Epic Signature Bubble Waffle (RM18) and The Epic Classic Waffle (RM18) from Mub and Grub’s Big Bites in the Epic world. The waffles are topped with a choice of ice cream, sweet sauce, crunchy candies and fresh fruit for a unique look and flavour. 

Food stall at Genting SkyWorlds

Visitors can customise their own waffle set when placing orders as there’s a selection of different sauces and toppings to choose from. So feel free to mix and match the toppings to create a sweet treat that suits your liking.

Beyond its rides and attractions, Genting SkyWorlds is also filled with colourful decorations, sculptures and high-tech lighting.

Almost every corner is picturesque, making the park an ideal place for taking Insta-worthy photos despite some restrictions – taking photos or recording videos are prohibited during certain rides for safety concerns.

The different themes of the worlds make a trip to the park a diverse experience too, one that is accompanied by complimentary background music and sounds.

Epic, for one, has giant flower and bird sculptures dotted around its enclave while Central Park has a colourful walkaway where you can stop by to take photos.

In the world of Rio, there is a beautiful water fountain accompanied by colourful buildings that replicate the vibrant architecture in Salvador, Brazil.

Those planning to drive can park their vehicles at various locations around Resorts World Genting and Genting Highlands Premium Outlets.

The cable car ride takes around 10 minutes to reach the SkyAvenue Station. You will then need to go on foot by following the wayfinding directions to the main entrance of Genting SkyWorlds. While going up the hill in the gondola lifts, you can enjoy the spectacular mountain views of Genting Highlands and a bird’s-eye view of the theme park.
