Kuala Lumpur, 4 September 2024 – New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon made a special
visit to Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur yesterday, marking a significant milestone in strengthening the
relationship between New Zealand and Malaysia. The visit comes as Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur
celebrates a remarkable achievement of reaching 1 million riders, just nine months after its opening
in December 2023.
The partnership between New Zealand and Malaysia extends beyond traditional areas like trade and
education. Prime Minister Luxon emphasized the importance of this relationship, noting how New
Zealand businesses like Skyline Enterprises are contributing to the vibrant tourism industry in
Malaysia.
“New Zealand and Malaysia have shared a strong, enduring partnership for more than six decades.
The introduction of the Skyline Luge, a beloved New Zealand attraction, to Kuala Lumpur is a
testament to our countries’ ongoing collaboration and mutual respect” said Prime Minister Luxon.
“I’m incredibly proud to see how Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur has not only added to the local tourism
landscape but also brought a piece of New Zealand to Malaysia.”
Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur, nestled in the heart of Gamuda Luge Gardens, has quickly become a
must-visit attraction, drawing in visitors of all ages. The park features over 1.6 kilometres of thrilling
tracks, including the longest tunnel ever constructed in Skyline’s global portfolio. The attraction’s
success in such a short time is a clear indication of its appeal and the strong connection between
New Zealand’s innovative spirit and Malaysia’s enthusiastic embrace of new experiences.
Gavin Barnes, General Manager of Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur, expressed his excitement about
reaching the 1 million riders milestone. “We are thrilled to have welcomed 1 million riders to Skyline
Luge Kuala Lumpur in just nine months. This achievement underscores the strong relationship
between New Zealand and Malaysia, and we are grateful for the warm reception we’ve received
here. As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to continuing our contribution to Malaysia’s
tourism industry and providing unforgettable experiences for all our visitors.”
To further commemorate this milestone, Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur is proud to announce that the
lucky 1 millionth riders, Alya Adriana Binti Ahmad Syahir, will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to
experience another iconic Skyline attraction in South Korea. This special prize underscores the global
reach of Skyline Enterprises and celebrates the continued success of our attractions around the
world.
