( CNN ) -- The inflatable-armbands community is rejoicing -- Asia 's first Legoland Water Park opened in Malaysia this week . With more than 20 water attractions , 70 Lego models and 3 million liters of water , the 300,000-square-meter space is the world 's largest Legoland Water Park , say park officials . Before you get too awestruck over such a grandiose claim to fame , it 's worth noting there are only two other Legoland Water Parks in operation . Both are in the United States -- one in California , the other in Florida . Still , this place is impressive . Especially for the under-12 set . Apart from water slides and pools , one of the coolest attractions of the Legoland Malaysia Water Park is Build-A-Raft River , which lets kids put together their own raft made of soft Lego bricks and float through the park via a slow-moving current . The Joker Soaker is an interactive platform in a wade pool where kids can shoot water cannons as a jester tells jokes -- family-friendly ones , naturally -- as it unleashes 350 gallons of water upon their gleeful ( or horrified ? ) little heads . For toddlers , the Duplo-themed play area has smaller slides and characters modeled after those found in Lego sets -- an alligator , polar bear and elephant . The new Legoland Water Park has two restaurants , private cabanas for rent and a store . More : Gallery : Asia 's first Legoland opens in Malaysia . Legoland Malaysia hotel to open next year . The water park is the latest addition to the Legoland Malaysia Resort , which opened in September of 2012 in Iskandar , in the state of Johor . A hotel , the final phase of the resort , will open in early 2014 , say officials . About 50 kilometers from central Singapore , the 30-hectare theme park is made up of more than than 50 million bricks and has 40 rides , shows and attractions . Legoland Malaysia is the sixth theme park for the brand , joining properties in Denmark , England , Germany and two in the United States . Visitors can access the water park from outside as well as from the theme park , though extra tickets are required . More : Legoland Hotel Malaysia set for 2014 launch .
