Gamuda Land opens SplashMania Waterpark with early bird pricing
It comprises first-of-its-kind waterslide experiences in Malaysia
The SplashMania Waterpark is open from 10am to 6pm every day, aside from Tuesday.
PROPERTY developer Gamuda Land yesterday held its official soft launch ceremony for its 18-acre SplashMania Waterpark in Gamuda Cove.
More than 2,200 visitors were among the first to set foot in the waterpark. They were able to experience first-of-its-kind waterslides in Malaysia like the Shaka Waka, a 78-metre-long multimedia and audio waterslide fitted with various LED light effects.
Chu Wai Lune, chief executive officer of Gamuda Land, who was present at the ceremony, said, “As town planners, we planned for Gamuda Cove to not only include the home place, but also the park place, shopping place, eating place and of course the play place.
“This is because, we know that when we get the places right, our town will work.
Chu believed that the waterpark represents a great addition towards Gamuda Cove’s list of placemaking offerings.
“The team is thrilled to offer SplashMania’s ‘Where Nature Meets Fun’ hospitality to visitors from far and wide, both local and international.” He adds that the waterpark is projected to attract an annual visitorship of 800,000.
A digitalised experience
As part of the waterpark’s digitalisation efforts to offer convenience to its visitors and customers, Gamuda Land has introduced its GL Play mobile application – available for download on Google Play and Apple App Store.
Through the app, visitors can buy admission tickets ahead of time. They can also use it to navigate and check out the available waterslides on the digital park map.

Visitors would also be able to place orders at the various F&B offerings and stay notified on when to collect their food and drinks.
Aside from that, the application entails a component known as GL CLIX which allows visitors to download high-resolution photos of themselves taken on rides during their visit through facial recognition technology.
Sanjay Nadarajah, general manager (leisure & hospitality) of Gamuda Land, said, “Key learnings and best practices on the implementation of technology in theme parks across the region were one of the key considerations to ensure the guest experience in SplashMania Waterpark is a more pleasant one.
“With technology, such as the GL Play App, it not only helps create a safer experience for guests, but provides a seamless experience.

“The process of collecting and paying for passes can be done prior to arrival while also allowing visitors to skip the queue and order their F&B online to collect it when it is ready. We want our guests to maximise their ‘fun’ time at SplashMania,” he said.
Early bird pricing
To commemorate the soft opening, visitors can enjoy early bird pricing starting at RM63 for children and senior citizens. Adults and those above 120cm in height can buy tickets for RM79 from now until March 31, ahead of its grand launch later this year.
The SplashMania Waterpark is open from 10am to 6pm every day aside from Tuesdays, unless it falls on a public or school holiday.
