The Berjaya Times Square Theme Park is located on the 5th
and 7th floors of the mall. Built by the fictitious mad scientist
Professor Cosmo and his clumsy robot assistant Ooort, this
133,000sqft theme park is guaranteed to transport you to
another galaxy far, far away. There are six adult thrill rides
specially designed for the park. They are the heart-stopping
roller coaster, the 30-metre-high Spinning Orbit, Space Attack,
Ooort’s Express, Dizzy Izzy and the DNA Mixer.
Berjaya Times Square Theme Park
Come and spend an entire weekend at Kuala Lumpur Berjaya Times Square. Located right in the
heart of the city centre, there is something here for everyone in this integrated retail, entertainment
and leisure complex which also boasts the country’s biggest indoor theme park.
A World of its Own
6
The 800-metre-long roller coaster nicknamed the Supersonic
Odyssey is sure to give you the ride of your life! What makes
it even more interesting is the viewing deck on the bridge
connecting the 8th floor, where you board the ride, to the 9th
floor overlooking the theme park. The roller coaster then
loops around the bridge thus giving parents and friends a
chance to see or photograph their kids riding the world’s
longest indoor roller coaster which plunges from the 13th
floor to the 5th level before coming to a halt on the 7th floor.
What a thrill!
Another ride bound to leave you in a daze is the DNA Mixer.
This crazy invention by our mad scientist is sure to loop the
minds of 21 passengers at one go. Try getting off and you’ll be
sure to lose all sense of direction!
A milder yet equally exciting place for the kids to be is the
Fantasy Garden. Created by Professor Cosmo and decorated
with bright beautiful colours and small benches for the kids to
rest when they are worn out from all that running around,
there are 8 rides which children of all ages can enjoy. The
Buddy Go Round carousel will definitely excite the youngsters
whereas the rocking boat ride, Molly-Cool’s Swing is sure to
sway their minds.
Families can also enjoy a smooth drive with their kids through
a natural wonderland at the garden with the Botanic Drive
ride. To top things off, Bumper Cars are also found in the
garden to accommodate both children (Honey Bump) and
adults (Robo Crash). Besides the rides, the children will be
entertained by Professor Cosmo himself and together with his
friends the garden will be filled with joy and laughter.
The amusement does not stop there as the Kidz Castle is
situated nearby for entertainment on stage and the children’s
playground Kidz @ PlayGround is another place of restless
fun.

For the bold and the brave, there’s the heart-thumping
challenge of the Thunderbolt to conquer. This is one of the
longest uphill water coasters in Asia. Ride the Thunderbolt,
and have a terrific experience sliding up and down a winding
tube that is elevated. From the Thunderbolt, keep the charge
up at the Supertube, where you can glide through the wacky
twists and turns of the open and closed tube at racing speed
that will send you screaming.
Go for more screaming fun and excitement at the Splash-Out
activity pool, where you need to hang on to a rope and jump
from one floatable to another. Let’s see who falls into the
water first! Next, go for the Shock Wave, where you can sit
on the beach and wait for the waves to rush up and splash
over you. Watch out, the waves can go as high as 1.4 metres!
Next, create some action on the Action River or just glide
along to re-charge your batteries.
Come to the Ultimate Water Factory and turn the wheels
and push buttons. Watch out! Water shoots out in all
directions from showers and jets. Time to get all bubbly in the
Bubble Pool, where the water comes out in bubbles, or head
for some swimming at the deeper Ripple Bay.

Snowalk The first in South East Asia, this 50,000sqft frozen
environment features 100 tons of ice sculptures shaped by a
team comprising 30 of the best sculptors from Harbin, China.
Climate-controlled at below 5 degrees Celsius, with 100mm
of snow underfoot, Snowalk provides an unforgettable Arctic
experience especially for visitors from the warmer climes. It
also features a play zone for fun activities such as snowman-
making, ice-sliding and tobogganing. Costing RM10 million, this
edutainment centre accommodates up to 800 visitors.
WaterWorld Sprawled over a 10-acre site, WaterWorld at i-City opened its
doors to welcome visitors in November 2012. Featuring
water rides ranging from tame to wild in their propensity to
provide thrills, WaterWorld at i-City offers hours of aquatic
fun for the whole family. The rides include the Giant Jacuzzi,
Spiral and Rainbow slides, a Children’s
Adventure Pool, River Adventure through LED-lit grottoes
and a Wave pool with a giant LED screen.
The most popular, however, is the Tornado Ride. The first in
the ASEAN region, it is the ultimate adrenalin rush. From the
launch tower, a steep 160ft water tunnel sends four tube-raft
riders hurtling towards a 7-storey high funnel tilted at a 45-
degree angle. The rafts oscillate four to six times up both
sides of the funnel producing a sensation of weightlessness.
When gravity reasserts itself, the rafts then flow through the
funnel bottleneck before splashing down
into the 1350sqft landing pool.
FunWorld Designed for the family, there is
much fun to be had at this
themed attraction. There are
arcade games and rides for tots
and teens, a 5D theatre that

House of Horror and an interactive All-Star wax museum.
The Trick Art Museum Based on the ancient art of Trompe L’oeil, the exhibits tease
the mind with optical illusions created by the clever
rendering of shadows and subjects that extend beyond the
picture frame. Five art themes – Masterpieces, Egyptian,
Marine Life, Animal Kingdom and Modern Classics – are
featured, housed within 8,000sqft of display area on two
floors. Here, visitors are encouraged to have fun posing for
pictures with the exhibits.
House of Horror Ghosts, ghouls, spectres and other denizens of the dark
inhabit this 15,000sqft haunted house. Combining
mechatronics (machine and electronics), Night Art and live
performance, nightmares are brought to life to provide spine-
chilling entertainment for those brave enough to venture
within. There are spooky surprises at every turn with the
eerie atmosphere heightened by special sound and visual
effects.
Red Carpet Opened in August 2013, this is yet another ‘first’ to be
introduced by i-City. An interactive waxwork museum, the
Red Carpet showcases an All-Star cast bringing together
glamour and glitz, power and politics, the strange and
wonderful in 30,000sqft of Oscar Awards setting. The RM 25

while the interactive element allows visitors to party with
them.

The Water Park has two areas to bring you double the fun.
Waters of Africa is the ultimate land of spills and thrills, with
attractions including the Vuvuzela and the Waterplexx 5D,
while Surf Beach is the World’s Largest Man-Made
Surf Beach.
Fog, smoke effects, water jets, fountains and
mist – all packed into the ultimate, multi-
sensory journey unlike any the world has
ever seen. The Waterplexx 5D is the first of
its kind in the world, a water-based attraction
which engages the rider’s sense of sight, sound
and touch. Whether it is a pirate’s adventure or an
underwater wonderland, visitors can expect to feel
everything they see, from the gust of wind to a powerful gale.
The Vuvuzela, Sunway Lagoon’s latest attraction and the
world’s largest water ride, is a sight to behold, as it occupies
3,360m (three times of the size of an Olympic standard
swimming pool) of the water park. From a launch tower
an incredible eleven storeys (30m) high, the Vuvuzela
plunges you through a ride that spans 152m,
designed to resemble riding rapids on a turbulent
river, before mercilessly plummeting you into the
world’s largest water funnel, 22m in diameter
which also sits 4m above the ground.
The Vuvuzela entered the Malaysia Book of Records
in 2013 as the Biggest Water Ride in Malaysia. Aside
from the Vuvuzela, the theme park’s very own Waterplexx 5D
has also made it into the Malaysia Book of Records in 2012 as
the first 5D Waterplexx in Malaysia.
Sunway Lagoon
Step inside and you’ll discover a magical kingdom of pure fun and excitement. Experience the
wonders of over 80 rides and attractions spread across its 5 parks – Water Park, Amusement Park,
Extreme Park, Wildlife Park and Scream Park. This multiple-award-winning attraction is the winner of
‘Asia’s Best Attraction’ by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA)
from 2007–2010, ‘Asia’s Best Waterpark 2011’ by IAAPA and ‘Best Man-Made Tourist Attraction
2005/2006’ by Tourism Malaysia.
Five Different Parks inOne Amazing Destination
15
Stretching over 13,000 square meters, the Surf Beach is
capable of churning out perfectly shaped waves up to the
maximum height of 8ft. The ability to condition the waves
according to the needs of the surfers in terms of height, time
and wave patterns make Surf Beach at Sunway Lagoon a
surfer’s paradise for both professional and aspiring surfers.
Complementing the scenery is the sight and sound of Asia’s
Biggest Man-Made Erupting Volcano. One of the many hit
attractions to hit the shores of the Surf Beach is the
FlowRider, Malaysia’s First Surf Simulator.
The Amusement Park is made up of the following two themes
to wow visitors from all walks of life. Wild Wild West brings
visitors back to an old Western cowboy town, while World of
Adventure is where adventure comes alive. Among the
highlights here are the Pedestrian Suspension Bridge, which is
one of Malaysia’s Longest Suspension bridges at 428m long,
and Pirate’s Revenge, Malaysia’s first and only 360-degree
rotating pirate ship that will swivel you to 24 metres above
ground level.
Wildlife Park @ Sunway Lagoon, Malaysia’s First Interactive
Zoo, features exotic, small and friendly animals from a range of
birds, reptiles and mammals. The zoo’s concept encourages
guests to not only see and learn about the animals but to get
up close and personal by touching them. This first and only
fully interactive animal-themed attraction in Malaysia houses
more than 150 species of exotic and tame animals.
Extreme enthusiasts need not look further for adrenaline
pumping activities. ALL the power packed action can be found
at ONE place – Extreme Park at Sunway Lagoon. So, prepare
to challenge yourself for the highest, the longest and the
fastest thrills and excitement. Among the highlights include
Asia’s Longest Flying Fox Trail at 206m and G-Force X – Asia’s
Highest and Fastest Slingshot Ride that goes from 0-120km in
2 seconds and up to 65m in height.
Lynton V. Harris’ Scream Park provides an intense, exhilarating
and live interactive ‘scare’ experience that takes the senses to
new heights of perception by using state-of-the-art audio and
visual technology as well as live actors. Spread over two
floors, Lynton V. Harris’ Scream Park takes the walkthrough
scare attraction and laser format to ground-breaking
proportions with Hollywood-style sets and a team of highly
specialised and trained performers.

When the sun is up and the swimming pool is not enough fun, it’s a great idea to make tracks for theWet World Shah Alam. Facing the scenic Shah Alam Lake, the Wet World Shah Alam is convenientlylocated in the Klang Valley, which helps to make it one of the most popular recreational spots in Selangor.
The bright colours of the waterpark – red, blue, pink and
yellow – scream fun and excitement. The most talked-about
ride is the exhilarating Monsoon Buster, one of the longest
uphill water coaster rides in Asia! You’ll find yourself
propelled forward on your floatable for some 200 metres by
water jets. Pure joy! Try it once, and you will be back for
more. Young children accompanied by an adult can also ride
the Monsoon Buster.
For team games, more than 10 people can slide down the
open Giant Slide. It’s that wide! More speedy challenges await
at the Tunnel Water Coaster, a closed ride, and the Big Splash,
a half closed and half open slide. Waiting for you at Neptune’s
Challenge are 10 floatables and you have to
walk across the water on these floats.
Lose your balance and you’ll get a
dunking, but that’s the fun of a water
game. Getting very wet!
Beat the HeatWet World Shah Alam

Kiddies have their own play area, where the attractions include
the Seashell Kiddy Slide and the red and yellow Submarine
Slide. Some of them will be thrilled just splashing about in the
pool, or paddling in the Lazy River. You can play until closing
time, and really get your money’s worth at the waterpark.

Wet World Pedas Hot Springs
Splish, Splash in Spring WaterThe little town of Pedas in Negeri Sembilan has long been famous for its hot springs. For more than 60years, people have been going there to enjoy the hot spring water, which contains minerals, and isbelieved to have healing and therapeutic qualities. Now, there is even more reason to visit Pedas asthere is also the Wet World Pedas Hot Springs Waterpark for the whole family to enjoy.
19
Among the attractions at the Wet World Pedas Hot Springs
Waterpark are the two open-air common pools filled with
hot water from the spring. The spring water in the pools is at
a temperature of 35 to 46 degrees Centigrade, and once you
get used to the hot water, you’ll find it very relaxing. For
those who prefer privacy, private bathtubs are available. There
is also a reflexology footbath, where you walk on a
reflexology pebble trail in the water.
The cooled spring water is circulated throughout the
waterpark, which is set in scenic hilly surroundings and offers
hours of fun for families. If you don’t know which water ride
to try first, why not begin with the Lazy River that winds
around the theme park? Just lie back in your colourful
floatable, relax as you float around the park, and figure out
which ride attracts you. The small kids obviously love to be

and relax in the swirling waters of
the Jacuzzi. For those with lots of
leg energy, they may want to try the

Today, the 6th and 7th generation descendants of Monsopiadstill live on their ancestral land by the scenic Moyog River.And in memory of the great Monsopiad, they have built theMonsopiad Cultural Village, a fascinating authentic showcase ofthe rich and ancient culture of the Kadazans that goes back along time in history.
The Kadazans are part of the Kadazandusun community, thebiggest ethnic group in Sabah. The Monsopiad Cultural Villagehas been built with traditional materials used by theKadazandusun people for centuries, such as jungle logs, palmleaves and bamboo. After a warm greeting by your Kadazanhost at the entrance to Monsopiad Cultural Village and awelcome drink of ‘tapai’ (rice-wine), you can see the variousdaily activities in a Kadazan village. Here, everyone wears thetraditional black Kadazan attire.
A big attraction is the replica of Monsopiad’s house, sitting onthe original site, and raised off the ground. You climb up a logwith steps cut into it to reach the bamboo landing beforeentering the spacious house.
The Kadazans cultivate rice, and it is impressive to see therhythmic pounding of rice in a wooden mortar by two younggirls, as the long, carved wooden stick is heavy! You can have ago at pounding rice, if you like. The rice is then stored in a big‘tangkob’ or rice bin. Kadazan villagers also brew rice wineand make sago from the sago palm. The men make bamboofish traps, machetes, gongs and blowpipes. The women weave
cloth and mats, do embroidery and beadwork, and make‘sirung’ (the conical hat) and ‘tadang’ (the carrier basket). TheKadazans are also famous for their dances, and you can join inthe dancing during the performance.
In the House of Skulls can be seen the skulls of the 42enemies slain by Monsopiad. Also displayed are items used bythe Bobohizans, the high priestesses, who occupy animportant place in the Kadazan community. The Bobohizanscontinue to look after the skulls according to old customs andtraditions.
So vivid are the stories told by the Kadazan guide that onecan feel the presence of Monsopiad. Finally, as a fitting tributeto a great Kadazan warrior, you can follow the guide and trekup the hill to view the grave of the mighty Monsopiad.
Other attractions are the Kadazan wedding ceremony stagedevery Saturday in December, and the 40-minute Moyog Rivercruise in a ‘lipa lipa’ boat to Sodomon Jetty, during which youcan see rice fields, birds and the mystical Mount Kinabalu inthe distance.

Exotic Sarawak is famous for her many ethnic groups such asIban, Bidayuh, Orang Ulu, Melanau, Penan, Malay and Chinese,who traditionally live in different parts of this huge state. Tovisit their traditional settlements would take many days.Fortunately, at the Sarawak Cultural Village situated at the footof the legendary Mount Santubong, the interesting cultures ofall these people can be experienced in one place.
The first stop is the Bidayuh Longhouse. In the Barok – thehead-house of the Bidayuhs – traditional gongs, war drumsand bamboo musical instruments are displayed. In one of thelonghouse dwellings, sitting by the window is a master carverexpertly carving an intricate design on a length of bamboo –free hand! Outside, two Bidayuh ladies in traditional blackoutfits are busy pounding and winnowing rice, while anotherdemonstrates the art of weaving fine bamboo strips intobeautiful baskets. You can try your hand at these activities. Forsome adventure, don’t forget to walk across the narrowbamboo bridge, just wide enough for one person. Feel thebridge bend and sway under your weight, and imagine rushingwater below.
Built above ground, the Iban Longhouse has a notched logserving as a staircase to the house. Several individual familyrooms front the common walkway in an Iban Longhouse. Ineach unit, enemy skulls in a net hang from the rafters, as theIbans were fierce head-hunters in the olden days. An Iban ladycan be seen weaving the traditional 'pua' on a back-strap loomwhile others make the intricate beaded collar and the tasty'kuih jala'.
The Penan Hut is very small and simple, as Penans arenomadic people who live in the dense virgin forests of CentralBorneo. They use the blowpipe for hunting, and a Penanwarrior would be happy to show you how to make ablowpipe, all by hand, and shoot with it. The Penans are alsovery skilful at making decorations from soft wood.
The Kayan, the Kenyah, the Kelabit, the Lun Bawang and theother minor tribes of Sarawak are known as the Orang Ulu.On the verandah of the imposing Orang Ulu Longhouse, theOrang Ulu musician plays a beautiful melody on the 'sape', astringed musical instrument. The ladies are famous for theirintricate beadwork, which is demonstrated in the longhouse.

The Melanau people traditionally lived near the sea and as ameans to protect themselves from the pirates, their housesare built 40 feet above the ground! At the Melanau Tall House,you need to climb up a long ladder to enter the woodenhouse. Outside the house is a Melanau carved totem pole,traditionally used to bury the village headmen. In a smallhouse, a Melanau lady is demonstrating the art of making sagopearls and crispy sago biscuits, from grating the sago palmtrunk to roasting the finished product. You can also try yourhand at grating the sago palm trunk.
The traditional Malay house is a wooden house built on stilts.The windows are cut down to floor level for maximumventilation, allowing cool breeze into the house. High artisticskills can be witnessed in the beautifully-decorated stairs andwindow railings, fascia boards under the eaves and theventilation grills above or beside doorways. You can join in themany traditional Malay games being demonstrated here,including 'gasing' and 'congkak'.
