Go 'behind the scenes' at Sunway Lagoon to see what makes a theme park tick


The large ship before us swings with a frenzied rush, each swoosh accompanied by the screams of its passengers. All around, children and adults walk around with their cotton candy sticks and watermelon slushies as if a 360° rotating vessel is the most natural thing in the world.

We are standing near Pirate’s Revenge, one of the most popular rides at Sunway Lagoon in Subang Jaya, Selangor. It’s business as usual at the theme park, and a scene like this is what the staff sees daily.
