Penang Amazing World Studios

Penang Amazing World Studio (30 April 2015)


Penang Amazing World Studios (GPS: 5.41632, 100.3437) was an interactive photo studio in George Town, Penang that I am told has ceased operations since September 2017. It is located at 4 Weld Quay, within the former Schiffmann Herr Building, between the Made In Penang Interactive Museum and Via Pre Italian Restaurant.

Entering Penang Amazing World Studios

The entrance to Penang Amazing World Studios is guarded by a pair of mui33sin2, or door gods, in this case, of a virtual-reality kind. They seem to be able to speak to each other, one in English and one in Mandarin. I would like to see them speak Penang Hokkien one day!

Little Common Street

Little Common Street is a caricature wonderland set to a backdrop of period street scenes of Penang. It's a place to rub shoulders with famous people, and the only possibility of getting up-close with those no longer with us. From Gandhi to P. Ramlee, Steve Jobs to Princess Diana, along with present-day figures, from Obama to Nick Vujicic, they are all here to greet you. See how many you can recognize.

Virtual Reality

Put on the headset and the goggles, and be transported into an Indiana Jones-like otherworld Penang, complete with Komtar tower. I can't show you how it looks like - you've just got to try it yourself, and feel as though you are on a roller coaster in a Mad Max-inspired George Town.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
