Legoland Park in Malaysia to Open in September

Malaysia’s Legoland theme park, the first of its kind in Asia, is all set to open up months ahead of schedule in September.

Siegfried Boerst, general manager of Legoland Malaysia, said more than 35,000 annual passes had already been sold for the park featuring more than 40 roller coasters, race cars and other attractions in southern Johor state.

Can You Cope with Your Children�s Tantrums?
It is natural for children to throw tantrums, but how parents react to such situations makes all the difference in the life of a family.

Of those, more than one third had been sold in neighbouring Singapore.

About one million people are expected to visit the 76-acre (31-hectare) park in the first year.

The park is already 75 percent complete with most of the rides and infrastructure in place. Contractors will begin next month to install the Lego models made out of more than 50 million bricks, Boerst said.

Anemia in Children with Chronic Kidney Disease
A recent review listed out the causes, risk factors, complications and treatment of anemia in children with chronic kidney disease.

When completed, Legoland Malaysia will be the sixth of its kind in the world featuring the Danish toy bricks after those in Denmark, Britain, California, Florida and Germany.

A Legoland Hotel, also Asia's first and the world's fourth, is to open next to the Malaysia park in 2014. Groundwork began last month.

Sleep Disorders in Children - Overview, Types, Diagnosis, Management
Sleep disorders are problems in sleep that meet diagnostic criteria for a disorder. They include insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, parasomnias and narcolepsy.

Legoland will be one of the main attractions of Iskandar Malaysia -- a dedicated economic development zone that plans to attract more theme parks.

The park borders Singapore, which opened Southeast Asia's first Universal Studios entertainment complex in 2010.

Child Intusussception
Intussusception is condition where one segment of the intestine infolds into the adjacent segment causing intestinal blockage and leading to severe abdominal distension and pain.

But developers say the new park would complement Universal Studios Singapore rather than compete with it for customers.
