My trip to genting
Thursday, December 29, 2005
Off to genting we went, me and my cousins family. The trip was really exiciting for me as this will be my first time to genting in about 3 years. In my absence there, a new hotel, numerous rides and a new indoor theme park has been built. It only took us about 3 hours to get there via the new highway.
The new first world hotel looks horrendous outside with its dodgy multicolor layer building. However, the interior design was simply superb. I was amaze by all the decors and props used and how intelligently all the rides were integrated with the shopping mall. The first attraction that we visited is the snow house. Apparently, the temperature inside was -3 celcius, which i can still recall would be 270 Kelvin. Obviously, this took me by surprise as i was not attired properly to withstand this cold condition.
My fears were somewhat subdued when they told us that jackets,mittens and shoes will be provided. But to my horror, the freakin jacket smelt like its been worn by some homeless bugger living along k'road. Inside the "house", there was a snowman, an igloo, a children slide, a bar and a tobaggon slide. It wasnt really that big and we got bored soon. The only thing worth mentioning was the slide as it was quite fun sliding along and getting us ass wet.
Later, we had lunch in some bufffet restaurant. Then, we went straight to the indoor roller coaster (yes, we're crazy). The roller coaster ride was bloody useless and the only scary part was waiting in line while looking at them fixing the coaster as one of them was not functioning properly before we got in. They took ages to get a technician to fix the damn thing and i felt like saying to him what Rainer Saidel always says to us "For GOd SAke, JUst do IT!!!".
After that miserable ride, we went to the outdoor theme park in hope to find more exiciting adventures. That day wasnt the best day for theme park goers coz it was raining and the queues were soooo long. We only had to settle with 3 bloody ride!!!!!!...albeit one of them is the flying roller coaster and it was the first of its kind in South East Asia. We were suspended horizontally the whole ride hence giving the "flying" sensation. There we loads of dips,swerves,loops and steep falls. By the end of it all, i was left wanting MORE!!!....but unfortunately our pockets denied us. This is so much better than the pathetic roller coaster at rainbows end (Man, im proud to be a malaysian!).
Finally, off we went for dinner in some seafood place in the foot of the hill. We were tired and nauseous after a hard day's work. Hopefully, more of this to come in Sabah.
