Leitner in Malaysia in the world's largest theme park

(September 26, 2017) From mountain peaks to rainforests, from metropolis to fun parks. Leitner's business is characterized by maximum diversification. High technology, innovation and reliability are the three features of this made in Italy champion, specializing in rope systems, originally from Vipiteno but known all over the world. We also find it in Malaysia, where it has won a 20 million euro deal for supplying the Resorts World Genting, which houses the world's largest hotel complex, a new rope plant capable of carrying millions of people. The cabin ropeway is part of a mega project, including the 20th Century Fox World theme park, which will be the new attraction within the resorts from 2018, representing a "world premiere". The new Awana Skyway ropeway has 99 cabins – ten of which with a glass floor. Each cabin is also furnished with a double roof for thermal insulation and a special ventilation system. With four stations in total, the journey takes around ten minutes. The ropeway runs daily from 7:30 a.m. to midnight.
