Hi Korang,

Nak citer sket pasal Sunway Lagoon ni.

Tapi in english ek coz aku tak boleh nak translate, ayat-ayatnya berseni sungguh la kan

The official launch closed with a daylight fireworks display which added to the excitement for all the guests at Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon.

Discover a hidden world covering ten acres of lush tropical rainforest within a jungle previously “lost” to the public! This is now a reality as Sunway and Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) announce the opening of the first Nickelodeon themed attraction in Asia, Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon in Sunway Lagoon in Malaysia.

Today’s launch was attended by guest of honour, Selangor Chief Minister, Yang Amat Berhormat Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Bin Ali; Sunway Group founder and chairman Tan Sri, Dr. Jeffrey Cheah; Tan Sri Datuk Seri Razman M. Hashim, Sunway Group deputy chairman and Mark Whitehead, Executive Vice President and Managing Director, VIMN Asia.
