Movie Animation Park Studios MAPS 
Ipoh

Update: It appears MAPS Ipoh has gone bust!

It has been closed since January 2020.

Movie Animation Park Studios or MAPS Ipoh is a popular addition to Malaysia’s growing list of theme parks. It is said to be Asia’s first animation theme park and is located in Ipoh, Perak. It features Malaysian animated characters like BoBoiBoy as well as international characters such as Casper the Friendly Ghost, The Croods, Megamind, the Smurfs and Mr. Peabody & Sherman.

The park soft-opened in June 2017. One of the park’s 6 themed zones, the Dream Zone, was still undergoing testing and was not yet open to the public. Completion was expected in late 2017 but as at January 2020 the Dream Zone is still not open . Perhaps there has been a change in strategy.

 Over 40 Attractions in 6 Themed Zones

1. Animation Square Zone

Includes The Adventurers Cartoon Academy, BoBoiBoy Hero Academy, 4D Adventure Theatre and various shops and food outlets.


2. Dream Zone (Not Yet Open)

Includes The Croods Crazy Chase, Casper’s Birthday Blast, Mr Peabody & Sherman’s Time Adventure, Dream Theatre, Megamind Megadrop and more themed shops and food outlets.
