LEGOLAND Malaysia - First Ever International Theme Park

This being the first post of the blog, thought it is just right for me to share why the blog exists in the first place.

I am from a country deemed as a little red dot in the world map (read Singapore) and like to visit theme parks (or amusement parks) a lot. Whenever I went overseas, theme park(s) will definitely be in the itinerary. So, I thought why not share out some useful theme parks related resources here for all the liked minded? Hence, the born of "Hot Theme Parks". 

Besides the official theme park related resources, wherever available, I will also include the following:
a. Resources on the deals/discounts (e.g. from Groupon, Deals etc...) available for the the theme park 
b. My personal review/experience of the theme park (if applicable). 

Hope you enjoy the blog and may you have a fun rides in the theme parks!

Then in 2002, LEGOLAND Deutschland is the fourth park of it's kind.
