Sky VR at Resorts World Genting is to become the first location in Malaysia to boast a ParadropVRTM immersive adventure attraction this autumn.
Manufactured by UK outfit Frontgrid, the paragliding simulator will be housed in the 400,000sq.ft indoor entertainment space at the Genting Highlands Resort.
Sky VR is a section of the park dedicated to showcasing virtual reality games and immersive experiences from around the world. Five premium VR attractions have been chosen for the area, which will combine physical rides with cutting-edge virtual reality experiences.
Resorts World Genting is the latest global brand revealed to have selected ParadropVRTM as an anchor attraction as part of its immersive entertainment offering. Other operators working with Frontgrid include Merlin Entertainments, Emaar Entertainment, King Power and iFLY.
Resorts World Genting has said it expects over 7,000 daily visitors at the park once it is fully opened to the public. The ParadropVRTM installation will be branded SkyGlider VR, in-line with branding at the park.
Frontgrid CEO Matt Wells said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing ParadropVRTM to Malaysia with Resorts World Genting. To be chosen as one of the world’s top immersive experiences is a real honour and reflects the confidence leading entertainment brands have in our product.
“With Paradrop locations either planned or already installed in seven countries worldwide, it’s clear both consumers and operators are looking for premium virtual reality experiences which offer something out of the ordinary”
Sanjay Nadarajah, vice president of theme park at Resorts World Genting said: “We are very proud to be bringing Malaysia’s first ParadropVRTM to Sky VR. It’s an immersive adventure experience that all the family will enjoy – we can’t wait to see the reaction from guests when it launches.”
