Timeline
  • Attractions in the plaza includes bowling center, cineplex, "watersplash" pool (a warm indoor swimming pool made for mostly young children), Genting International Convention Center, Haunted Adventure and a Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum. A casino was also built on the location of the previous "The Pavilion" which was a concert venue for entertainment-related performances. Entertainment-related performances such as dances, acrobatic shows and magical shows are held in an area called Times Square. However, all of these attractions had been closed under the First World Plaza refurbishment and the 20th Century Fox World construction projects.
  • On 1 June 2017, the whole plaza was closed for refurbishment. On 1 August 2017, SnowWorld, Genting Bowl and Funtasy World Video Games Park within the plaza were also closed to make way for the development work of the new indoor theme park.[1]
  • In 2018, the plaza reopened with new retail and dining outlets as well as indoor theme park attractions. Singapore-based retailer Tangs opened its fourth outlet in Malaysia, on the second floor of First World Plaza. Skytropolis Funland was open for public in December 2018. Other attractions in the property includes SnowWorld, Genting Bowl, SeniKome Peng Heng, Vison City Video Games Park, BigTop Video Games Park and Asia's first unique fully immersive virtual reality attraction called The VOID.
