The grand launch signalled the waterpark operating at full capacity with all 24 waterslides now available to the public along with its 15 attractions.<br>Speaking on the water park\u2019s contribution to the state, Y.A.B Dato&#8217; Seri Amirudin Bin Shari said,<br>\u201cGamuda Land\u2019s SplashMania Waterpark has put the South of Selangor on the map and breathed<br>new life into the South of Selangor, complementing the state\u2019s efforts in developing the Integrated<br>Development Region in South Selangor as part of the First Selangor Plan. These include new<br>townships such as Gamuda Cove and Gamuda Gardens, all strategically located within Selangor.<br>\u201cBoth these developments catalyse the growth in both northern and southern Klang Valley. With<br>the company&#8217;s investment into more sustainable infrastructure, it has further rejuvenated the local<br>environment while also being a solid foundation for future investments to cater to the demand<br>generated by these efforts.\u201d<br>\u201cSince the soft opening of SplashMania in February 2023, the water park has welcomed over<br>75,000 monthly visitors from both the domestic and regional tourism markets. The success of<br>SplashMania is however not limited to its individual visitorship but rather in how it effectively<br>cross-pollinates with the host of other ecotourism offerings within Gamuda Cove that indicate the<br>emergence of a major attraction hub in Selangor,\u201d said YBhg Tan Sri Dato\u2019 Setia Haji Ambrin Bin<br>Buang, Chairman of Gamuda Berhad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>He continued by saying, \u201cOur construction and development projects have not only reshaped the<br>physical landscape of our country but have also played a pivotal role in generating employment<br>opportunities. By investing in state-of-the-art infrastructure, revitalising communities, and<br>constructing innovative spaces for business and leisure, we have created a thriving ecosystem that<br>fosters job growth and economic prosperity.\u201d<br>SplashMania Waterpark \u2013 Where Nature Meets Fun<br>Comprising 39 waterslides and attractions, SplashMania Waterpark is the latest addition to<br>Gamuda Cove\u2019s placemaking initiatives with 70% of the waterpark dedicated to green spaces. The<br>initial phase of opening was driven by the domestic market, mainly from Greater Klang Valley and<br>neighbouring states, while primary international tourists were from Vietnam, Singapore and<br>Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The much-anticipated introduction of Malaysia\u2019s first Virtual Reality Waterslide, Atlantis VR will<br>further augur the park\u2019s attractiveness. While the two latest additions Monsta and Twista<br>waterslides are equipped with high-speed twists and turns, an adrenalin pumping ride for thrill<br>seekers.<br>Other notable waterslides include The Shaka Waka, which is a one-of-a-kind enclosed tube slide<br>with audio and light effects, creating a unique experience within the slide itself as visitors travel<br>down at high speeds, The Plunge, a high-speed flume angled at 78 degrees, which plummets visitors<br>from six storeys high from the top of Amazonia Ship, and The Wild Rush, where visitors blast<br>through narrow looping and twisting tunnels with back-to-back curves and tight 360-degree loops.<br>Gamuda Cove \u2013 Nature Sanctuary, Smart City<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Dubbed as a nature sanctuary and smart city, Gamuda Cove have been meticulously planned to<br>incorporate innovation, technology and sustainability amongst nature. Through its engineering<br>expertise, it has sustainably transformed the once problematic peat soil, making it suitable to be<br>developed into a place where people and nature can come together, harmoniously.<br>Gamuda Land targets to plant 270,000 trees in Gamuda Cove. To date, close to 12,000 trees have<br>been planted within the township. This initiative is part of the #OneMillionTrees programme aimed<br>at preserving the country\u2019s biodiversity by planting one million trees across its developments by<br>2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Gamuda Cove has also earmarked 90-acres of reserved land to develop a Wetlands Arboretum,<br>adjacent to the 1,111-acre Paya Indah Discovery Wetlands.<br>Supporting the overall masterplan is its comprehensive green transportation network which<br>includes 75km of carefully planned pedestrian and cycling paths. For intracity travel, an e-tram<br>currently serves residents and visitors at Gamuda Cove \u2013 the first development in Malaysia to<br>have such infrastructure. The tram network is being further expanded to connect other key areas<br>of the township. \u201cWith its future-focused masterplan, we believe that Gamuda Cove will be a place forbusiness, education, leisure and tourism all merged into essentially a highly liveable family-<br>friendly and environmentally-sensitive community,\u201d remarked YBhg Tan Sri Dato\u2019 Setia Haji Ambrin.<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To know more about Gamuda Land\u2019s developments, visit www.gamudaland.com.my or GL Play at<br>www.glplay.com.my for all the latest events and attractions around Gamuda Land townships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2nd July 2023 &#8211; KUALA LANGAT, Selangor \u2013 The Menteri Besar of Selangor, Y.A.B Dato&#8217; Seri Amirudin Bin Shari today officiated Selangor\u2019s latest tourism offering, the 18-acre SplashMania Waterpark located in the township of Gamuda Cove.
