KUALA LUMPUR (Apr 8): Conglomerate Sunway Group will make a total investment of RM100 million on the development of the first Nickelodeon-branded attraction in Asia, which will be constructed in its 88-acre Sunway Lagoon.

Its founder and chairman Tan Sri Dr. Jeffrey Cheah said that the new attraction, which is called Nickelodeon Explorer's Oasis, will open its door to the public in March next year.

"We will see another six rides and nine attractions on the new 10-acre park in Sunway Lagoon," he told reporters after the signing collaboration agreement with the Vice President of Nickelodeon recreation business development, Gerald Raines.

Under the terms of the new agreement, Nickelodeon, one of the world's global entertainment brands for kids and family, will bring its characters, expanded interactive shows and signature green slime to Sunway Lagoon.

Nickelodeon Explorers' Oasis will add to Sunway Lagoon's five existing parks namely Water Park, Amusement Park, Extreme Park, Interactive Wildlife Park and Lynton V Harris Scream Park.
