The park began operating in 1992[1] and was officially opened by the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad, on 29 April 1993.[2] It was opened to the public[1] with two park attractions, the Water Park and Dry Park.[3] Later, on 29 April 1993, Mahathir Mohamad officiates the opening of Sunway Lagoon.[4]
In 2008, Scream Park was added as a new park in collaboration with Lynton V. Harris.[5] The theme park added a surf simulator, the FlowRider, in 2010;[6] Waterplexx 5D in 2012;[7] and Vuvuzela, a water slide in 2013.[8]
In October, Sunway Lagoon debuted the Halloween theme festival, Nights of Fright.[9] In 2007, Wildlife Interactive Zoo was opened to the public.[10] In 2015, a pair of white lions, Zola and Zuri, were added to the Wildlife Park.[11]

The 88-acre (36 ha) park is built 150 feet (46 m) below ground level on a tin mining wasteland and currently has 90 attractions spread across six parks.[1]
The first park that was introduced in the park features Waters of Africa with 13 attractions and Surf Beach with 9 attractions.

On 20 November 1997, a woman fell from a roller coaster when the safety bar and belt gave away, throwing her on the ground next to the pond several metres below. Due to the accident, the local authority decided to close the park for investigation and ordered Sunway Lagoon to close the Runaway Train ride.[31]
