History
The previous name of 20th Century Fox World is the Genting Outdoor Theme Park.
Development history
20th Century Fox World was first announced on 26 July 2013.[1][2]
Park design
The park will be 25 acres in size and will feature roughly 25 thrill rides and attractions based on films and franchises like Rio, Ice Age, Life of Pi, Night at the Museum, Planet of the Apes, Alien vs. Predator and Titanic.[1][2][3]
Competition
Another Malaysian movie-based park which is the upcoming MAPS Perak (Movie Animation Park Studio of Perak) will not pose any competition to 20th Century Fox World due to the convenience and strategic location of Genting Highlands.
