Genting Malaysia investing RM400m to build 20th Century Fox theme park
KUALA LUMPUR: The Genting Group is investing RM400mil to build a 20th Century Fox theme park, featuring 25 movie-based rides and attractions, that will open in 2016.
Genting Malaysia Berhad chairman Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay said the partnership with 20th Century Fox would make Resorts World Genting one of the world’s top holiday destinations. He said the investment on the theme park was part of a RM3bil Resort World Genting refurbishment programme, which includes the construction of an additional 1,300 hotel rooms adjoining the First World Hotel.
"The development of the Twentieth Century Fox's branded theme park paves the way for continued dynamic business growth and in ensuring that Resorts World Genting continues to be an exceptional tourist destination both locally and internationally.
"This agreement will take Resort World Genting to another level in family entertainment, making the resort and Malaysia one of the world's top holiday destinations," he told reporters after the agreement signing for the theme park today.
Jeffrey Godsick, consumer products president of 20th Century Fox, said: “This theme park marks the launch of our global location based entertainment strategy.”
Genting will close its present outdoor theme park on Sept 1 this year for the construction of the new theme park. Last year, Resorts World Genting received about 20.5 million visitors, and the number is expected to double in 2016 when the new theme park – with rides and attractions based on movies like Ice Age, Life of Pie, Alien, Predator and Night At The Museum – is opened.
Genting expects minimal impact on its business from the temporary closure. The memorandum of agreement was signed today between Godsick and Datuk Lee Chong Yan, chief operating officer of Genting Malaysia.
Lee said the park, to be built on a 10ha site, would feature more than 25 rides and attractions from media-based rides, thrill rides, dark rides for children and water rides.

雲頂和雲頂大馬如何區分
Vincent問：我是一個投資初學者，想問一下我們要怎麼區分雲頂（GENTING,3182,主板貿服組）和雲頂大馬（GENM,4715，主板貿服組）母子公司？這兩家公司業績要怎麼看？如果涉及海外業績，又應該先看哪一家？
答：雲頂是一個綜合性集團，除了為人熟悉的博彩業務，也包含掛牌的雲頂種植（GENP,2291,主板種植組）、產業、電力及油氣業務。
雲頂大馬則以博彩業為主，並不斷將拓展觸角延伸至海外市場，如菲律賓、英國及美國，甚至有意進軍越南及日本市場，惟這些博彩業務也同樣納入雲頂集團之下。
至於雲頂新加坡則是雲頂的子公司，沒有對雲頂大馬作出盈利貢獻。
必須強調的是，兩家公司都涉及海外業務，所以主要仍是以業務類型區分。
近期雲頂在美國的博彩業務相當受矚目，其中紐約皇后水道賽馬場已開始投入營運，下一個據點則是在邁阿密，一般預期佛羅里達州政府將全面開放當地的博彩業務，發放至少3張賭場執照。
不過，最新傳來的消息是，美國佛州眾議院展延對賭場牌照法案的表決，主要是缺乏支持力推進有關議案。
分析員認為，雖然雲頂大馬的30多億美元賭場擴展計劃展延票決，但不意味名勝世界邁阿密賭場的終結，因經過重新起草的法案將於2013年再提呈通過。
聯昌研究說，這消息雖是負面，但不意味賭場牌照全面否決，而是需要更長時間的爭取過程。
馬銀行金英表示，若該法案明年才提呈，吸引力將大打折扣。
興業也認為，儘管計劃斥資38億美元建5千200客房度假酒店，不過賭場法案若不通過，不會對此展延構成任何財務衝擊。
大馬研究認為雲頂大馬將花更多時間發展邁阿密計劃，預計5至10年才完成；若未獲賭場牌照而欲發展此計劃，雲頂大馬多會尋找聯營伙伴。另一家亞洲集團太古地產，後者在邁阿密發展7億美元產業計劃。
迄今，雲頂大馬投資2億3千600萬令吉購置邁阿密先鋒報廠址，另2億零600萬美元購買Omni Center。
“雲頂大馬估計每年需要2億5千萬至3億8千萬美元（7億8千餘萬至11億令吉），這對持有22億至48億淨現金的雲頂大馬不是問題。”（星洲日報／投資致富‧投資問診室）
