From The Star today, this is a very interesting project. The state government really really putting up lots of effort to promote the state's tourism :)IF all goes well, Penang is set to have the first-of-its-kind eco-friendly world class theme park in Teluk Bahang.
Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said a Penang-based company that was involved in the design and construction of the Universal Studios Theme Park in Singapore had submitted a proposal to the state government to set up an environmentally-friendly ‘Ecofun Theme Park Resort’.
He, however, said that just like other projects, an open tender would be called before the state would decide on which company should be given the contract.
Lim said the state hoped to call for an open tender beginning Oct 1 and the deadline would be Dec 1.
He said a 12.14ha land belonging to the Penang Water Corporation located downstream near the Teluk Bahang dam would be leased out if the proposal were to be approved.
“If the green light is given, then the project will take about four years to be fully completed. The estimated cost for the theme park is RM100mil. This will boost tourism, as the park will only be 3km away from the Batu Ferringhi tourism belt.
“And if the proposed Penang Hill cable car project were to take off, it would be a value added service, as one of the stops could be at the theme park,’’ he said.
