JOHOR BAHRU, Malaysia: Asia's first Legoland theme park opened to packed crowds on Saturday in southern Malaysia, with its cluster of attractions expected to transform the sleepy region into a thriving tourist hub.

An eager crowd of 10,000 people visited the 76-acre theme park in Johor state -- across a narrow waterway from Singapore -- which features a variety of rides and thousands of Lego models made out of the popular toy bricks.

@guy4versa, great! We'll wait for your photos, then move this park to the Completed section.

It's opening day... I'm on my way! Will update with some photos soon!

“This region will become Southeast Asia’s response to Orlando in America offering a great experience of many themed attractions,” said John Jakobsen, Dorset, U.K.-based managing director of Legoland Parks, a unit of Merlin.

The company is emulating the Florida metropolitan area that’s home to theme parks run by Walt Disney Co. (DIS), Comcast Corp. (CMCSA)’s Universal Studios, SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment and Legoland, and drew a record 51.4 million tourists in 2010, according to the Orlando Tourism Bureau. Both SeaWorld and Merlin are backed by Blackstone Group LP (BX), the world’s biggest private-equity firm.

Legoland is the newest addition to the so-called Iskandar project to create an investment, amusement and education hub in southern Malaysia across the waterway from Singapore. The government has been wooing foreign money with easier investment rules and tax breaks.

The country introduced the Iskandar Development Region in the South Johor Economic Region as part of a five-year, 200 billion-ringgit ($65 billion) spending plan to redevelop the south, north and eastern regions Malaysia. “The strategy of developing the Iskander region has been to complement Singapore not compete with it,” said Gundy Cahyadi, an economist at Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. in Singapore. “It’s too early to tell the impact of Legoland on the Johor and Malaysian economy as a whole but at least they now are showing some physical proof having built it.”

Themed Attractions and Resorts Sdn., which owns the Malaysian Legoland, is also building the Puteri Harbour Family Theme Park that includes attractions such as Sanrio Co. (8136)’s Hello Kitty Town and the Little Big Club, according to state news service Bernama. It manages KidZania, Ocean Quest and Water World in Malaysia, Bernama said. Themed Attractions is a unit of Khazanah Nasional Bhd., Malaysia’s state-owned investor.
