It is evident in few studies indicate that major theme parks are starting to give their inherently unsustainable operations a fresh, green implementation. Environmental footprint matters for theme park as it operations contribute to the increasing of waste generation, water and power used. Thus, this paper aims to study on the green implementation for theme park in Malaysia. Reassuring to achieve the aim, two objectives were established: 1) to identify ways in conserving energy through technical and operational enhancement, 2) to discover the important criteria for green theme park implementation. Literature review and in-depth interviews have been conducted. Experts opinion were employed in getting rich data for the study. The result shows that there was initiative for implementing green concept in Malaysian theme park. Technical aspects that associated with green implementation for Malaysian theme park were consumption of energy, consumption of water, construction, maintenance, management of waste, materials and the design of theme park. Expanding lifespan of theme park, decreasing the use of chemical elements and rate to run the equipment can save a lot of energy contribute to the operational aspects of green theme park.
