[3] Genting SkyWorlds features over 20 different rides and attractions, of varying thrill and intensity levels, themed around a selection of popular entertainment and film franchises, notably Epic (2013), Ice Age, Independence Day, Rio (2011), Robots (2005), Night at the Museum (2006), Planet of the Apes, and Sons of Anarchy.

[4][5][page needed] The park was first announced as 20th Century Fox World on 26 July 2013, breaking-ground on construction on 17 December 2013.

[6] The theme park was part of a major ten-year masterplan surrounding the refurbishment of infrastructure and entertainment options at Resorts World Genting.

As part of the deal, Genting would be granted "a license to use certain Fox intellectual properties", and that non-Fox IPs would make up the rest of the attractions in the park.

[3][16] On July 1, 2022, it was announced that Genting Skyworlds would partner with Alibaba Cloud to present their new Virtual Queue (VQ) system which is powered with artificial intelligence.

The Virtual Queue application is fed with real-time data to allow park operators to "control crowd dispersion and optimise ride capacity".

The area's two attractions, Bigweld's Zeppelins and Rivet Town Roller, are both stacked on top of one another in order to save space.
