Resorts World Genting

Resorts World Genting or Genting Highlands is a resort situated on top of a hill. It is a combination of hotels, casinos, restaurants, retail outlets, and of course the main purpose of our trip - theme parks.

First World Hotel

There is a Genting Express Bus Service available from KL Sentral. The ticket booth is located at the lower ground floor.

That morning, we planned to buy our Genting tickets before we leave for Batu Caves so we can still get an earlier trip. However, we failed to locate the ticket booth before our scheduled departure to Batu Caves so we just purchased our tickets as soon as we got back to KL Sentral.

Lucky us, we managed to get the last 6 tickets for the next available trip at 12:30 PM. One-way fare is RM10.30 and includes the Genting Skyway (cable car ride).

After an hour and 15 minutes of traveling passing through highways and zigzag roads, we were finally dropped off at the Lower Genting Skyway station.

It was way past lunch time so we stuffed ourselves first before going to the theme park.

We rested a bit after lunch and proceeded to our main agenda. The wind was cold outside but luckily  there's no fog. We approached the ticket booth and bought the One Day Unlimited
Ride Pass for the Outdoor Theme Park. Ticket price for adult is RM50.

next on our list is the Pirate Ship

Flying Coaster - the most uncomfortable ride ever. I wouldn't try this again. The waiting time is much longer than the actual ride. By waiting time I mean we're actually on the flyer in a standing position waiting for our turn. I think there were still 3 flyers ahead of us. I was wearing flip-flops so I was asked to remove it and had to endure the cold steel steps.

Corkscrew

I almost forgot that we rode this one. Maybe because it isn't as exciting as the Space Shuttle at Enchanted Kingdom.

Space Shot

I'll tell you how this ride works: You will be lifted up to185 feet above the ground and go down at a whooping speed of 67km/hr. Haha!

Binder, Jego and I have tried the ride similar to this one at the Ocean Park in Hong Kong. It is called the Abyss. The Abyss is a bit higher I think.

We are ready to take the challenge!

Dell wasn't able to film our ride because we were seated on the opposite side so we had to do it again. Crazy, I know.

That was our last ride. We were supposed to try the Grand Prix Fun Kart but the staff didn't let us in as they were about to close. The outdoor theme park closes at 6pm and we didn't notice of the time. Again, we were fooled by the sun.

London bus

Beryl's Chocolate Wonderland was already closed by the time we got there.

We also explored the First World Plaza. It's got a lot of shopping outlets, restaurants and an indoor theme park.

We decided to stay there until around 9pm and took the bus back to KL Sentral.
