"Since its soft launch in December 2023, Gamuda Luge Gardens has quickly become a landmark destination in the northern Klang Valley corridor, attracting over 420,000 visitors including overseas visitors. This underscores our dedication to good placemaking for our community by creating places where they can be out in nature, get to know one another and ultimately to form close-knitted communities that support one another,” said YBhg Tan Sri Dato’ Setia Haji Ambrin Bin Buang, Chairman of Gamuda Berhad.
He continued by saying, “As Gamuda Gardens continues to mature, with a current population of over 8,000 residents, we look forward to welcoming new additions and strategic partnerships like Skyline Luge to add value to our residents. Besides leisure and entertainment, we also look forward to having more F&B operators for our commercial developments, clinics and pharmacies, schools and lifestyle amenities that will help enrich the life of our community.”
Gamuda Luge Gardens: Leisure and Entertainment Hub
The official launch of Gamuda Luge Gardens signifies a new era of excitement at the township, with the unveiling of two new attractions, signifying the full operations of FunPark. These include the Ferris wheel, Eye of Gardens, officially recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records as the tallest and largest Ferris wheel in a theme park, and the thrilling Vroomerang ride. With these additions, FunPark now offers a complete experience, complementing its existing attractions: Jellycup Twist, Fruity Frenzy, Jumpshot, Carousel, and the 10,000-square-foot Big Bucket Splash waterplay area.
Eye of Gardens stands as an iconic landmark, soaring to a height of 50 metres. Offering panoramic views of the township's lush surroundings, visitors can ascent aboard the tallest Ferris wheel in a theme park, capturing breathtaking views of Gamuda Gardens. Adjacent to the Eye of Gardens, Vroomerang awaits thrill-seekers, promising an adrenaline-fuelled experience. This turntable coaster ride whirls and twists along a 10-metre-high track, ensuring unforgettable moments of excitement and exhilaration for all.
Adding to the excitement, Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur, celebrated for its gravity-fuelled luge rides, announces the upcoming launch of its Hyfly, the first-in-Malaysia dualling zipline, set to debut by the end of 2024, further enhancing the array of attractions at Gamuda Luge Gardens. With this addition, Gamuda Luge Gardens remained poised to meet its annual visitorship of 720,000.
“At Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur, we take great pride in being part of the ongoing development of Gamuda Luge Gardens’ ecosystem. Our commitment together with Gamuda extends beyond merely providing entertainment; we aim to contribute to the enrichment of the region by offering unique recreational options suitable for families and adults alike.

Introducing The Atrium: Elevating the Vibrancy of Gamuda Luge Gardens
As FunPark and Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur ignite the excitement within Gamuda Luge Gardens, the next chapter unfolds with The Atrium. This mixed-use development plot located adjacent to Skyline Luge and FunPark will be unveiled in phases, boasting a diverse tenant mix comprising F&B, retail, entertainment, and more, to cater to the thriving community at Gamuda Gardens and its surrounding vicinity.
Envisioned as a fully pedestrianised space, The Atrium harmonises with the bustling foot traffic from FunPark and Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur, featuring an open-space layout conducive to relaxation and exploration. Adding to the appeal, The Atrium will house an extension of the fun components, including an indoor theme park and a variety of F&B outlets.
YBhg Tan Sri Dato’ Setia Haji Ambrin elaborated, "Gamuda Luge Gardens demonstrates a broader paradigm shift in urban planning that includes thoughtful and effective placemaking for quality public spaces. These initiatives seamlessly complement the township’s residential and lifestyle components. The development has not only revitalised the immediate area but have also spurred prosperity in the surrounding regions. Local businesses are experiencing increased economic activity, fostering a vibrant commercial ecosystem and unlocking new avenues for growth and investment in the northern corridor, as evidenced by the fully occupied and tenanted commercial components within the Gamuda Gardens township alone."
In commending Gamuda Land’s latest achievement, Mr. Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), remarked, “Gamuda Land's decision to launch the Gamuda Luge Gardens project reflects the positive business sentiment among investors in Selangor and Malaysia’s tourism industry as a whole. The opening of Gamuda Luge Gardens not only stimulates the economy and generates national revenue, but also aligns with the National Tourism Policy 2020 – 2030. It attracts high-value, innovative investments, empowers local communities, promotes inclusivity, and supports broader socio-economic development goals.
“Selangor’s leading position in the domestic tourism industry in 2023, with 27.6 million domestic visitors, marks a commendable 25% increase compared to 2022. This project stands as a unique attraction that will intensify local offerings, attract international tourists and create numerous job opportunities for Malaysians.” added Mr. Sikh Shamsul.
In terms of connectivity, a complimentary shuttle bus service is currently operational between the residential enclave at Waterfront Village and Gamuda Luge Gardens, ensuring seamless access for both residents and visitors alike. Additionally, a shuttle bus service operated by Prasarana is also available from the MRT Sungai Buloh station to Gamuda Gardens and Gamuda Luge Gardens.
The expansion of Gamuda Luge Gardens signifies Gamuda Land’s steadfast dedication to pioneering innovative concepts that redefine leisure within its townships, enriching the recreational experiences of the community and beyond.
The widespread use of digital devices has led to a surge in eye health issues across all age groups. From students to working professionals and social media enthusiasts, prolonged screen time has become synonymous with symptoms of digital eye strain, including eye fatigue and discomfort. Recognizing this urgent need, BLACKMORES, rooted in the principles of naturopathy, emphasises prevention and natural remedies to address these modern-day challenges.
"At BLACKMORES, we believe in the importance of holistic wellness. Our mission is to empower individuals to prioritise their eye health as an integral part of their overall wellness journey. Through our ongoing research and advocacy efforts, we aim to raise awareness about the importance of eye health and inspire positive lifestyle changes that benefit long-term vision wellness, all while delivering scientifically proven solutions that are kind to the body," said Kumaran Chandrasergaran, Country Manager of BLACKMORES Malaysia and Singapore.
It is crucial for individuals to focus on prevention rather than relying solely on treatment when it comes to caring for their eyes. In addition to taking regular breaks to rest the eyes and adjusting screen brightness to avoid glare, incorporating eye supplements into one’s daily regimen, which are often overlooked, can further provide valuable support in combating the effects of prolonged screen exposure.
The selection of the right supplements can not only offer natural protection and prevent eye fatigue but also reduce the need for extensive eye care. At the core of an effective eye health supplement are two key ingredients: Lutein and Zeaxanthin. These nutrients, derived from various sources, including natural sources like Marigold flowers, serve as powerful antioxidants to protect eyes from free radical damage and play crucial roles in blue-light filtering. Moreover, research has shown that maintaining the optimal ratio of Lutein and Zeaxanthin is essential for maximising their benefits. Therefore, achieving the precise 5:1 ratio (10 mg:2 mg) is crucial to ensure optimal absorption and effectiveness.
Specifically with prolonged screen exposure, this combination alleviates symptoms of eyestrain and fatigue by reducing glare, enhancing contrast, and maintaining cellular health. By harnessing the benefits of Lutein (10 mg) and Zeaxanthin (2 mg), individuals can achieve clearer eyesight and delay the progression of age-related eye problems, promoting healthy eye functions holistically.
Aside from effective formulation, individuals frequently using digital devices are encouraged to seek eye health supplements containing daily natural carotenoids when protecting their eyes from digital strain. Opting for a convenient, one-a-day dose will also further ensure seamless integration of supplements into a consumers' daily routine, promoting consistent eye care amidst their day to day.
As digital reliance continues to grow, BLACKMORES remains at the forefront of advocating for natural solutions in digital eye health, empowering individuals to embrace the digital world with clarity and confidence while fostering healthier lives. With over 90 years of expertise and having received the prestigious Trusted Brand Award for the tenth time this year, BLACKMORES continuously strives to deliver high-quality supplements. The brand achieves this by sourcing the most reliable ingredients and offering products suitable for different dietary preferences, such as halal and vegan options, catering to diverse needs.
