Nights of Fright 12 at Sunway Lagoon, 25 Sept to 7 Nov 2026: RM138 a Ticket, and Four Nights Are Already Gone
Sunway Lagoon's Nights of Fright is back for a 12th year, themed The Apeocalypse, running every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night from 25 September to 7 November 2026. Admission is RM138 all in, and the checkout forces a second line at RM0.00: one 50g bag of Sunway Theme Parks Kedai Runcit potato crisps per ticket, redeemed not in the park but at Sunway Pyramid. The Xpress Pass costs RM98 on top, a 71 percent uplift, and buys 30 minutes of early entry plus express lanes. We went back through the checkout on 10 September 2026 and four of the twenty nights can no longer be bought at all: opening night on Friday 25 September, then Friday 2 October, Sunday 1 November and Friday 6 November. Sunway's own colour-coded calendar still shows three of those four as freely available, because it is a JPEG that has not been re-uploaded since 24 August. What it teaches about which nights go first is backwards: every Saturday it flagged as selling fast is still on sale, while three of the seven Fridays have gone. The Xpress Pass runs out ahead of the ticket, and is already unavailable for Saturday 3 October even though admission that night is not. Separately, the park's roller coaster is still shut, and not for an upgrade: it stopped abruptly on 22 August, ten of the twenty-two riders were injured, and Selangor's police chief said on 7 September that the investigation will take three to four months.
A'Famosa Melaka's MATTA Fair Rates Outlived the Fair and Then Fell Again: Condo 2-Room Is Back to RM209, and the Honeymoon Villa Is Sellable at RM599
The 59th National MATTA Fair closed at MITEC on 6 September 2026, and A'Famosa Resort's fair pricing did not close with it. We re-read both first-party channels on 7 September, the day after, and found the ticketing page still selling nothing but MATTA-priced tickets — RM89 for Safari Wonderland and Water World together, RM59 and RM39 separately, annual passes at RM289 and RM239 — and the booking engine still quoting MATTA Fair room plans. Better than that, the rooms came back down. The overnight reprice we recorded on 5 September has been reversed to the ringgit: the Condo 2-Room is RM209 again, not RM289, against an unchanged RM435 public rate, which is 52 percent off. The Gemilang Gateaway plan on the villas has been cut harder still, the Honeymoon Suite is bookable again at RM599 against RM995, and the Condo Family Studio the poster leads with has quietly gone off-sale on both plans. Here is the third read, taken at five separate stay dates.
