When I was 3 years old, my parent took me there. At that time,the lake had turn into yellowish brown color like “teh Ais”. I also wonder if Mimaland can be open again.

I write about Mimaland in my recent thesis entitle “IMPAK PEMBUKAAN SEMULA MIMALAND” anyone can give me an idea on how im going to elaborate more on this topic.

Hey, I just went from Gombak all the way to the Janda Baik junction and couldn’t find Mimaland…

Could anyone direct me there… if it’s still there. I vaguely remember the place when I was young and it has since become this elusive forgotten city that everyone remembers but no one remembers how to get there?

Thanks.

naurahman,

I think you are mistaken. I am writing a one page story on Mimaland for the january issue of TELL magazine, a locally-published English language magazine.
A small team from TELL went there in mid-November 2007 (last week) and the road is still there. Damaged and broken in some places, but still there.
There are no housing development there – just unkempt jungle. And when I saw the swimming which I used to enjoy – good god! Peeps, check it out for yourselves.
cheers

I was looking at some of the pics taken when I was a kid and i saw one of my with a sign of Mimaland. I don’t remember much about the place but I do know that I had a lot of fun there. So I’ve been searching the net for info. Even Wikipedia was only able to provide a one liner info on Mimaland. I’m glad to have chanced upon this chat but am sad to know that Mimaland has been demolished.

naurahamin Well, you take that road from Gombak heading towards Greenwood Park, keep going straight until the end of the road, you’ll reach a T-junction, take a left and go all the way. This is a 1988 direction, so am not sure whether they changed it. Good luck.

oh.. i have been to Mimaland several times. i even camp overnight on one of the open space on a hill provided by the park for our group. those days you can see wild boar wandering at the park bushes.
oh ! the classic ‘huge’ slide, the pear shape swimming pool,now you remind me of my sweet memory of dating with my first gf there when i was teenager. aik ! i reveal my age liao ! i do have some photo taken at the park, donno if i can find it.

Oh man…growing up, Mimaland was like Never neverland to me. A great place that i’d heard so much of but could not go to cos we didn’t own a car and times were tough! So sadly, i’ve never been there

catsndogs I’m glad it did. I’ll probably visit Mimaland when I’m in the vicinity just for old time’s sake.

Wombat There were chalets too? I’m sure if it’s re-opened, business would be brisk.

endroo G That can’t be it. I think it was the landslides.

my dad took me there when I was very small. Maybe once a month… Well, they closed Mimaland because there was an fatal accident.
