Vienna, Austria (October 21, 2015) — The EAS show in Gothenburg, held in the Svenska Mässan Exhibition Center from 6th to 8th of October, was a very fruitful exhibition for Attraktion! The cutting edge inventor and supplier of new media based attraction formats signed a major attraction sale & cooperation deal with Only World Group of Malaysia. Attraktion! will install three of its media-based attractions in the new tourist attraction ‘The Top’ on Penang Island, Malaysia. A 5D Dome theater, Playoke Dance & Kids and the newest attraction format, Sea Explorer 5D, will feature as the new attractions within the entertainment areas of The Top.

Attraktion! confirmed a general collaboration agreement with OWG to work together in the region. OWG is a leading developer and operator of leisure venues in Malaysia.
