It probably is due to the fact that both Malaysians and tourists love such parks. Now, who wouldn’t love places where you can have fun, challenge your fears and play in the waters the whole day? There are amusement parks, water theme parks, adventure parks and wildlife parks which serves these purposes. How awesome would it be if you had six different entertainment parks in the same premise?
