PETALING JAYA, Aug 2 — The theme parks may be closed due to Covid-19 movement restrictions but the team behind them are still hard at work
Asked how Escape was keeping afloat, Sim told Malay Mail that while Covid-19 has ravaged the theme park and attractions industry, it was able to weather through the lockdowns due to its ‘low-tech’ business model.“Mechanical rides like roller coasters present in most theme parks require burdensome operation and high maintenance costs are underutilised amidst the pandemic.”
“Malaysians have experienced the toll of the pandemic and a vital part to maintain our well-being is to pursue recreational activities and to have a good time. The future of shopping malls, according to Sim, would not just be focused on retail or food and beverages but also a huge portion of the entertainment sector once lockdowns are lifted.
However, he had his bitter share of disappointments when investors were initially not keen on his idea that a theme park without roller coasters would sell. “We will be building a theme park that resembles Penang’s outdoor park and something similar to the Paradigm Mall’s indoor theme park.”
