Genting SkyWorlds: The Next Big Thing in Singapore!
Hey, travelers! If you managed to snatch a VTL ticket, you’re in luck—because the brand‑new Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park is opening next Tuesday (Feb 8). This isn’t just any ordinary park; it’s the fresh face that’s coming after the former Genting Outdoor Theme Park shut its gates in September 2013 for a makeover that was re‑scheduled more times than a movie sequel.
What’s the Buzz About?
In short, the park is spreading over 26 acres (so a little smaller than Universal Studios Singapore’s 49 acres) and will boast nine movie‑and‑adventure themed zones plus 26 rides and attractions. This means, if you’re a thrill‑seeker, you’re in for a full day of fun.
- Think of “Eagle Mountain” where you’ll experience the world’s first dual‑powered roller coaster bike ride.
- There are going to be zones inspired by blockbuster movies, arcade-style adventures, and a whole new level of immersive storytelling.
- So whether you’re a fan of action, fantasy, or just looking for a great family day out, there’s something for everyone.
Why the Drama?
The park’s grand entrance has been delayed by the pandemic, and the legal tug‑of‑war between 20th Century Fox and Genting Malaysia Berhad has slowed things down—leaving only certain Fox intellectual properties licensed for display. Still, when those hurdles are cleared, better late than never becomes the motto.
First Glimpse: How it’s Going to Fly!
Get ready for:
- Movie‑themed zones: Feel like you’ve stepped into a blockbuster set.
- Adventure rides: From roller coasters to interactive experiences.
- Plus, remember that we’re talking about 26 acres of pure, unadulterated fun for your tables and adventures.
So pack your excitement, hit the VTL, and let Genting SkyWorlds show you what it means to be ‘beyond ordinary.’ The doors open next Tuesday—see you there!

Video Review: Is Genting Outdoor Theme Park Worth the Money?
Short answer? If you love thrills, tasty fries, and a decent dose of Instagram gold, then yes—this place can be a pretty sweet deal.
Behind the Scenes with Ivor Xian Z
- Early access gave Ivor a sneak‑peek before the crowd flooded in.
- He tested everything from the roller‑coaster rush to the line‑up for the fries.
- He famously live‑tweeted: “Came for the rides, stayed for the fries ?”
What Made It Worth It
Rides: The waves of excitement didn’t stop at a single attraction – the park stacks a variety of themheet-sploitation just waiting to be slotted into your day.
Food: The fries are radiused: crispy, golden, and practically made to satisfy the snack-hungry side of any adventure traveler. Ivor checked out a few options, and the lineup was hands‑to‑cookies – no, not too many, but good.
Atmosphere: The vibe is once again extremely gentleman‑friendly, with a layout that feels both familiar and brand-new for those who’ve dialed up their excitement.
Quick Takeaways
- Ideal for a “grab‑and‑go” adventure.
- When cost is a factor, the early‑access perk can lighten your budget a tad.
- Anything that ties in extra edible treats, like Ivor’s fries, is a bonus.
We’re not saying it’s a must‑visit for every single tourist, but if Ivor says it’s “Already Best Friends – sagittarius kween” for that day, it’s probably a good bet for any thrill‑seeker looking for a mix of adrenaline and real‑life appetites.
A Universal Studios knock-off?
In her TikTok, which has since garnered over 890,000 views, Ivor showed a few areas of the SkyWorlds that she felt looked comparable to USS.
Unfortunately, the similarities end there. According to Ivor, “the rest of the themes are rather tacky”.

To back up her claim, the following videos spotlight other corners of the park, featuring the ever‑lovable Blue Sky Carousel – a ride that practically lifts you into the clouds for a turn or two!

Getting Your Appetite Ready for Genting SkyWorlds
Everyone’s got that dream of finding a mouth‑watering spot inside Genting SkyWorlds, but let’s set the record straight:
- Expectations vs. Reality – The food scene there can be hit or miss. Think of it more as a culinary scavenger hunt than a high‑end buffet.
- Low‑Key Delights – Local snacks, quick bites, and those quirky food stalls will keep your cravings satisfied, even if the gourmet hype is a bit over‑stated.
- Be Prepared – Bring your appetite, a sense of adventure, and maybe a bowl for the street taco that might just win your heart.
Bottom line: If you’re hoping for an instant food empire within the park, you might need to temper those expectations. Instead, dive into the fun, taste the unique flavors, and let the journey itself be the main course.
What Ivor Ate—and How Much It Cost
Picture this: a glorious theme‑park feast that turns your wallet into a dramatic plot twist. Ivor gets up front and says the food feels like the “classic theme‑park dish” of yesterday. It’s pretty pricey and, frankly, just the basics.
The Price Tag That Raises Eyebrows
- Fries too – RM35 for a combo that includes a cold Coca‑Cola.
- In other words, you’ll either fill up on the fries or get a good feeling for the value of a Malaysian ringgit!
Quick Takeaway
That’s a lesson in budgeting: if you want a “normal” theme‑park snack, make sure you bring extra cash. Or, you could treat yourself and post a photo that says, “I spent it all!”
So, is it worth a visit?
Let’s Be Real: The Theme Park Is Making People Raise Their Eyebrows
Unfortunately, the online buzz around the new park has been more “meh” than “wow.” Fans scrolling through photos can’t help but mutter, “What’s this?”
Why the Haters Are Sending Their Verdict
- Old‑School Overload – The wild mixes of neon signs and floral wallpaper feel like a time‑warp to the 80s.
- “Faded Fun” Vibes – The “tacky” décor has earned the nickname “Retro‑faded” among netizens.
- Echo-Colored Discontent – Many give the park a one‑star rating on photo‑sharing sites.
Some folks even echoed Ivor’s crisp critique, agreeing that the aesthetic was more “dated” than “dazzling.” In short, the theme park’s visual punch is currently a crowd‑pleaser only when you’re a music‑lover from the 80s.
Pricing Drama
- Some folks really weren’t thrilled about the lofty price tags. They grumbled that the costs seemed more like a sky‑high ransom than a retail price.
And there were those who’d rather have the old park instead.
Defenders of the Park
While the crowd was busy shouting, a handful of people stood up to back the park and its price tags—proof that not everyone was ready to throw their hard-earned money into the campfire, no matter how heated the debate.
Ready to Test the Sky‑High Buzz?
In the end, the only real way to decide if Genting SkyWorlds is the real deal is to experience it yourself. Think of it as the ultimate “see‑or‑filter” for thrill‑seekers.
Why You Should Pile Into the Clouds

- A foodie’s paradise—yes, even the moon‑and‑stars-themed snacks taste out of this world.
- Spectacular theming that turns an ordinary day into an adventure—no more daytime boredom.
