Aerodium, 5D-snow experience among new attractions

i-CITY is preparing the ultrapolis in Shah Alam, Selangor, to host troops of visitors for the year-end holiday season by enhancing the destination with more exciting activities and spaces.

Currently, it is accelerating the pace of work to add more attractions such as a five-dimension snow experience centre, where visitors will be able to treat their five senses to a one-of-a-kind snow experience in a winter wonderland.

The 50,000sq ft indoor sports centre called Xcite Park is expected to be completed in time for the festivities.

It has the latest generation of climbing, diving, archery and golf simulation facilities for children and adults.

Another new attraction is a zero-gravity Aerodium.

The Red Carpet wax museum’s interactive, immersive and engaging digital simulations promise to awe visitors.

It is understood that prospective sites for the Hard Rock Cafe at i-City have been identified.

On top of that, news and social media reports have suggested that Hard Rock Cafe is exploring i-City as a potential location after a visit by Hard Rock Ltd senior vice-president and Asia Pacific hotel development head Edward Chan.

It is understood that prospective sites for the Hard Rock Cafe at i-City have been identified and there are two possibilities for the collaboration – they lease the space and operate or grant rights for the licensee to operate.

i-City plans to start its “One Shah Alam, One Destination” themed festive celebration in October in conjunction with Deepavali, and continue right through to the year-end festivities.

The celebration will bring together multiple communities and promote inclusivity under a brightly lit i-City.

An artisan bazaar, performances and bargains galore are part of the offerings.

Partners from Central i-City Mall, DoubleTree Hilton Shah Alam i-City, Best Western and Mercu Maybank will offer special stay, dining and shopping packages.

With the economy beginning to show signs of recovery, there is an urgent need to rebuild the confidence of the community of Shah Alam by promoting both social and commercial activities.
