As the bus rumbled the Karak Highway, exuberance bubbled in me. We were going to Genting Highlands Theme Park. A theme park holiday was my type, as I enjoyed every single second of being there and trying out all the rides.
Soon, the road came to a climb and white fog came into view. The higher we climbed, the foggier and colder it got and soon the bus dropped us off at the Genting Skyrail Terminal.
It was a long queue of about 150 people but a fast moving one. In half an hour it was our turn to board the Skyrail
The Skyrail was something like the 'Cable Car' but they called it a 'gondola'. It ascended up the mountain, and in some places it got so foggy that the surrounding was just PLAIN WHITE.
After minutes of ascending, the surrounding trees turned from the tropical to the coniferous ones.
Alas! After half an hour in the metal cocoon, we finally reached First World Hotel. Which is where the theme park was. We actually wanted to leave out the outdoor park because of the freezing weather and go to the indoor one instead. But after seeing what the indoor park had (roller coaster going round and round and long Q), we decide that the outdoor park was worth enduring the cold weather.
At the ticket booth, the sign displayed that 2 rides were closed but the cashier said that only 2 RIDES WERE OPEN! We thought that more rides would be open as the weather got better so we just proceeded with the buying.
It was so cold that I could 'smoke' by blowing out warm air that condensed. Although it didn't rain, the floors were wet due to the dew that condensed when it came in contact with the floor.
Took the all the rides except the Dragon and the Tobbogan and the Sungai Rejang Fume Ride.
Now I shall describe the 'thriller rides'.
Corkscrew: Double 360 degree flips with lotsa jerks and drops. Very thrilling!
Flying Coaster: You get into a capsule where it is required for you to lie flat. Very fast! I always thought we were gonna crash into the pillars. Two 360 degree flips.
Space shot: 12 people sit perpendicular on a square capsule, strapped by safety belts criss crossing each other. Then it shoots up into the sky, not at the very fast speed, until the top. When I sat on the ride, on top was a foggy heaven. The bottom was not within sight because of the fog. The capsule will then drop down at an alarming rate that it dragged my face along and I felt I left my heart behind on top!
Yea thats all for today =)
