SplashMania WaterPark @ Gamuda Cove
The much-anticipated ‘SplashMania WaterPark’ located in Gamuda Cove, owned and operated by Gamuda Land radiated excitement and joy to over 2,200 visitors at their official soft launch on 6 February 2023. Raking up 18 acres of land, visitors were able to experience the first-of-its-kind waterslides in Malaysia such as the Shaka Waka, a 78-meter-long multimedia and audio waterslide fitted with various LED light effects, amongst others.
Chu Wai Lune, Chief Executive Officer of Gamuda Land mentioned, “As town planners, we planned for Gamuda Cove to not only include the home place, but also the park place, shopping place, eating place and of course the play place. This is because, we know that when we get the places right, our town will work. The waterpark represents a great addition towards Gamuda Cove’s list of placemaking offerings, and the team is thrilled to offer SplashMania’s ‘Where Nature Meets Fun’ hospitality to visitors from far and wide, both local and international.” He added that the waterpark is projected to attract 800,000 visitors, annually.

As part of SplashMania WaterPark’s digitalization efforts to offer convenience to its visitors and customers, Gamuda Land has introduced its GL Play mobile application. Through the application, visitors are able to purchase admission tickets ahead of time on top of using it as a navigation tool to check out the available waterslides on the digital park map.
Visitors are also able to place orders at the various F&B offerings and stay notified on when to collect their food and drinks, enhancing the pleasant waterpark experience. Additionally, the application entails a component known as GL CLIX which allows visitors to download high-resolution photos of themselves taken on rides during their visit through facial recognition technology.

Sanjay Nadarajah, General Manager (Leisure & Hospitality) of Gamuda Land said, “Key learnings and best practices on the implementation of technology in theme parks across the region were one of the key considerations to ensure the guest experience in SplashMania Waterpark is a more pleasant one. With technology, such as the GL Play App, it not only helps create a safer experience for guests, but provides a seamless experience. The process of collecting and paying for passes can be done prior to arrival while also allowing visitors to skip the queue and order their F&B online to collect it when it is ready. We want our guests to maximise their ‘fun’ time at SplashMania.”
To commemorate the soft opening, visitors are able to enjoy early bird pricing starting at RM63 for children and senior citizens while adults and those above 120cm in height can purchase tickets for RM79 from now until 31st March, ahead of its grand launch in Q2 2023. SplashMania Waterpark comprises thrilling water slides and key attractions, some being the first-of-its-kind waterslide experiences visitors can encounter in Malaysia.
