Fun the Sun way

Welcome to Sunway Lagoon! If you had not already known, Sunway Lagoon is a theme park located in the middle of Selangor! The biggest theme park in Malaysia, the lagoon features a beach in the middle of the city! Although it opened its doors to the public almost 20 years ago, the park still attracts hordes of visitors every year! As such, the lagoon is the ideal venue for various concerts and events! Anyway, us bloggers were given an all day- all park pass to go play around!


Sunway Lagoon is divided into a few sections. The dry park and the wet park is the original theme park which opened a long time ago. As such, I will leave this to the previous posts in my blog to explain about it! The latest attraction however I will not miss! Dubbed the Xtreme park, Babe and I went exploring to bring you the latest from Sunway Lagoon!

As we entered the park, we could already see the newly opened beach! You can actually surf here when the wave machine is up! Where else in the middle of Malaysia or any contry in fact do you have palms, sand and waves!

The latest attraction is for people who would think of jumping down a building and seeing how that feels! Popular in places like New Zealand and in the suicidal parts of Tokyo (only they do it without the ropes), ladies and gents, I bring to you a brave soul!

This lady has just paid RM50 (About 10 quid) to get strapped on to a piece of elastic rope and then walk the plank! Skurrrrvvvyyyy! Shiver me timbers and here she goes!!!!



Note to bloggers and photographers: The best place to get pictures of people putting their hands in to the lives lives into the hands of the expert is right below! The process of jumping down is also an interesting one! You have to be weighed before you get the right rope tied around you! Any mistake means you would get a wet head and a mouth full of water or you might just come back up!

Any how, me and Babe walked down the hanging bridge to see what has the Xtreme park got in store for us!
It was a Monday actually, and we stopped spotted the flying fox which runs from the 10 storey tower to the beach below! Even on a weekday evening the place was crowded! We had to wait 2 hours just to get on the flying fox! Either the ride is so popular or the management needs to get more of them up! Sob... did not get to do the flying fox!

No matter, we had other plans. Where else can you enjoy the beach in the middle of the city so we took the liberty of heading down to the sands! Next thing I knew we were taking pictures in the scenic venue along the 100m beach!


Looking up, you will see flying Koks and also have a good view of the hotels, shopping malls and the college!


As we walked down the path, we were invited by the nice staff there to come shoot some arrows!

Finally, and excuse to flex those muscles! Anyhow, it was harder than it looked seriously! The guy beside me shot consistently near the bulls eye while I was shooting so randomly it was like spraying all over the toilet! One arrow even went out of the bowl target. Well, lets see if girls can get any luck out of this!

Babe being cute on the bow! Sassy! She shoots and she scores!

Next we waited patiently for the many people wanting to go on this! The all terrain vehicle trek! ATV! Finally, some dirt on my hands! After a 15 minute wait, it was finally our turn! Yay!! We got on our protective gear: Helmet and Crocs and off we went!

It was not as dramatic as the picture suggests. In fact, the next lot of kids who went up were no bigger than a piece of A3 paper. So much for Xtreme. I mean what happened to the adrenaline! Yet, I was soon prooven wrong when one guy behind (One grown able bodied GUY) rode the ATV like a headless chicken or a car which instead of fuel, ran on some honey cinnamon cocktail blended in ice topped with a slice of lemon. Just doesn't work! Conclusion, lil kids learn faster than big adults!
In search of more adventure, I had to empty the sea monster and found a really interesting sign:

No comments.

Okay, what else can you do in the sun? Yesh volley ball! Beachfoot ball and more!

Some guys already have their imaginations running wild and I you are too naive to know what I mean, just type DOA into your browser! Anyhow, there is a beach volleyball court so bring along your friends and start firing away!

And if your friend pisses you off, you can certainly get revenge! The other really interesting thing in this park is the paint balls! They even have a training centre where you can practice shooting the targets! Now all you need is your friend's enemy's portrait and start shootin'em!

The other attractions to look out for in the extreme park is the G force and the Trampolines! Hint: Do not do a double summersault on the trampoline without good underwear!
After that, me and babe went to the water park where there were slides and the pool!


Time to get wet! Makes you wonder what are two grown men doing like this no? Just prooves that Sunway Lagoon is not only for little kids! My next shot was ruined by some one who did not notice I was taking videos and just wanted to be famous! Bleh... I call it curious case of the phat man!

I mean he could be anywhere else but in front of my camera! Anyhow, Babe and I went around to see the highlights. Unfortunately, we were not sponspored a water proof camera. The good thing is we get to enjoy the park!

See you there! We are off to get wet!
