9th Day - Genting Highlands Outdoor Theme Park

9th Day 2007-12-17 MON Genting Outdoor Theme Park

Clown entertaining Children at the Outdoor Theme Parks

Clown entertaining Children

We saw a clown entertaining a bunch of eager children at outdoor theme park. The clowns here do a good job in entertaining the kids.

There are several clowns around both indoor and outdoor entertaining the visitors and giving out balloons. They are all in their teenage. Likely students of a entertainer training institutes.

Yin, my young daughter,  usually  scare of clowns  because of their heavy makeup. But  by the time she interacted with the 2nd clown (above) she was confident enough to have photo with him.






Genting's outdoor theme park consists of rides which cater for guests for all ages. Rides such as the corkscrew and the spaceshot are not for the faint hearted.
The admission price is quite reasonable and guests can re-enter later in the day if they leave the park.

Monorail
We took the monorail, a slow ride that takes one around the entire outdoor theme park at an elevated level. The view from monorail is fabulous.
  

The park get very crowded during school holidays. To try most of the popular rides, one has to be early and buy the tickets the moment the counters open before long queue gathered at the counter.

This was the first time Shirley and Yin on any of such rides and activities. Their faces were full of joy mixed with fear. Yin was thrilled as it was her first time taking the merry go around, kiddies rides, Tea Cup Family Rides and lots of other adventurous and thrilling rides in the outdoor and indoor parks.

Genting Highlands...Xing and I visited last November. The memories are still so fresh even after over a year!

Midnight we  were still at the indoor theme park enjoying the indoor rides. Everyone had such a great time.

Shirley and Yin were adventurous sort. They practically tried  all slow rides leaving those very fast speed out. The indoor theme park at night was also amazing just as it was glittering, but unluckily we missed out on a couple of the games/experiences there being exhausted as we were by the day's end. For us who came from a sleepy town, there was nothing really to 'dislike' about in such a wonderful place.

The mist was awesome. So beautiful and serene amidst the lush greenery. Genting's surroundings is very picturesque. It was freaking cold !! Even more so since it's the rainy season !!

Genting is big and we almost got lost ! There's way too many escalators. The first day  we hung out in the indoor theme park and visited a few places. Today we spend the day outdoor.
The rain  leaving the outdoor theme park damp and covered with billowing wind and mist. But we enjoyed the whole theme park.

Xing and I went to Cybercafe to surf internet for some information. The charge is Rm 10.00 for 40 minutes.

Meals expenses is more higher than last year when we came in December. Food here is expensive ... but what can you do when it's far away from the city and have frequently foreigners tourists to support the high prices.

For example :
Hakka Pan Mee Rm 10.93 (9.50++)
Penang Fried Kue Teow Rm 10.00
Wantoon Mee Soup Rm 8.50 (at Market Food Street)
A Cup of Soft Drink Rm 3.5 (at Market Food Street)


AT around 6:00pm as soon as we got back to hotel room, Yin plopped herself to bed to sleep only to wake up the next morning for breakfast.


While I stay behind in the hotel room to accompany the sleepy girl, Shirley and Xing went down to the plaza for more exploration. They tried more things to see such as Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum



Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum


Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum is the second museum available in South East Asia after Thailand.
In the museum are some of the astounding collections by Ripley. On display are items which Ripley collected while globe-trotting, bizarre, unique and fascinating items.

Ripley’s Believe It or not  housed some actual artifacts, and some surreal stuff



The next morning, we had a sumptuous buffet breakfast First World Cafe before leaving.


To sum up - the visit was SIMPLY EXHILARATING AND SIMPLY MEMORABLE!!
