Today’s launch was attended by VIPs, media, and invited guests. Attendees at the launch event were
privy to a showcase of fireworks and the iconic Nickelodeon green slime that
marked the opening of the park to the public. (I apologize in advance if my photos are not standard in quality; I used several different devices)

No stone was left unturned in the creation of the Nickelodeon
Lost Lagoon which boasts 14 immersive attractions, some of which are
themed with Nickelodeon's hit properties, including SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora
the Explorer, and Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles. Visitors to Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon can expect
an exhilarating experience thanks to interactive play areas, which use the
latest in reactive technology in addition to a daily signature slime event, a
variety of waterslide rides, retail shops, games and a myriad of food service
establishments and more!
True to its name, Nickelodeon Lost Lagoon promises to
be an explorer’s dream right from the start. Climbing “ancient temple” steps,
explorers will pass pineapple columns and intricate carvings leading all the
way up to a magnificent SpongeBob SquarePants structure. The adventure
continues with geysers, sprouting water cannons, walks along cascading falls,
and gooey moments with the signature green slime.

Running deeper into the forest are suspended bridges over
rivers, more thrilling wet and wild activities as well as gravity defying rides
that twist around trees and hills. Breath-taking views greet visitors who
choose to dine and relax by the Lakeside restaurant. They might even have the
chance to meet and greet their favourite Nickelodeon characters. Nickelodeon
Lost Lagoon is an attraction suitable for all ages.
“This park is a fantastic addition to Sunway Lagoon and one
that will greatly boost the appeal of Selangor as a tourist destination. Nickelodeon
Lost Lagoon perfectly complements Selangor’s existing array of
attractions and will also be a boon to the nation’s growing tourism industry,”
said Yang Amat Berhormat Dato’ Seri Mohamed Azmin Bin Ali, Chief Minister of
Selangor.
Built with an investment of more than RM100 million, Nickelodeon
Lost Lagoon is the result of a joint initiative between Sunway Group
and VIMN, lending yet another layer of top-notch family-based fun to Sunway
Lagoon’s five existing parks, which include its Water Park, Amusement Park,
