Continuous refurbishment of theme park facilities and
landscape beautification works were undertaken throughout
2005 to ensure that Genting Theme Park remains in excellent
condition. The ever popular Flying Jumbo ride, the spinning
Tea Cup, Rodeo Rider, Astro Fighter, the go-karts used for
the Grand Prix Fun Kart track, Matahari Ferris Wheel and
Malaysia’s first roller coaster – The Cyclone were refurbished
with refreshing new looks in 2005. These enhancement efforts
demonstrate Genting Theme Park’s commitment to be the best
and the most popular theme park attraction in Malaysia.
INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRANSPORT
The Resort is less than an hour’s drive from Kuala Lumpur and
is easily accessible via the excellent road network and highway
infrastructure as well as by helicopter.
The provision of safe, convenient and comfortable transport
services to and from the Resort has always been the Group’s
priority. The construction of a new two-lane bypass road
between the hilltop and Chin Swee Caves Temple, which began
in 2004 was completed in August 2005. This new bypass road
serves as an alternative route to the Resort’s hilltop and eases
traffic flow during the peak visitor seasons.
With the completion of the bypass, the Group began upgrading
the previous two-way main road from Chin Swee Caves Temple
to the hilltop into a one-way three-lane road. The upgrading
work was completed in April 2006.
In May 2005, the construction of a new residential staff complex
began at the Resort to accommodate the increasing staff
population. This complex is scheduled for completion in 2007.
For the travel comfort of VIP visitors, the Group added two
new Mercedes Benz S350 limousines and a luxurious Toyota
Alphard MPV to the premier limousine fleet. Its fleet of 48
limousines currently includes four luxury S350 Mercedes Benz,
and two luxury Toyota Alphard MPVs. Four imported Mercedes
Benz buses were acquired to replace the older bus fleet. Bus
commuters in the Klang Valley region have the choice of boarding
the Genting Express Bus at stations in Puduraya, KL Sentral,
Putra LRT terminal, Pasar Rakyat (Imbi Road) and Gombak.
