Legoland Malaysia in Nusajaya, which is expected to begin operations by year end, has sold over 10,000 annual passes.

Legoland Malaysia general manager Siegfried Boerst said its annual passes -- which are being sold at discounted prices until April 16 -- were selling well.

Sixty per cent of the passes were sold in Malaysia, while Singaporeans snapped up 35 per cent of the passes, and the remaining five per cent were bought by other buyers overseas.

The buzz over Legoland Malaysia will add to the festivities at its opening. The theme park is the first Legoland park in Asia.

Another great article that also includes some deadline information:

Legoland Malaysia is set to open later this year, and Firdaus and his team of 31 builders only have until June to create the perfect world from Lego - all 50 million pieces of them.

Great detailed article over at The Malaysian Insider:

"We are expecting a million visitors in the first year," said Boerst. The company in charge of opening LEGOLAND Malaysia, Merlin Entertainment, has opened 78 attractions successfully and Boerst feels that LEGOLAND Malaysia will be able to draw crowds from this region.

There are plans for a water park next year and a hotel in 2014. Boerst spent the last 20 years building theme parks and he enjoys every bit of it.
