Genting Indoor Theme Park, First World Plaza - Genting Highland

After our battery charged, we continue our fun session from Outdoor Theme Park to Indoor Theme Park of Genting.
The Indoor Theme Park is located at the First World Plaza. The area is smaller than the Outdoor Theme Park, but it's enough to bring us the fun!
Once you enter the Theme Park, you will see a small scale of Paris Eiffel Tower. Below that is the children ride - Ride De Paris.

Ride De Paris. Min height - 76cm, max. height - 107cm (Kids below the height of 90cm are required to pay)

My daughter took twice of it! :)
Then we had a simple lunch (or I call tea break) at the KFC in the Theme Park around 3pm...

The pictures blue background was because of the Blue Canopy...

The kids were impatiently having their meals and wanna jump in to any ride they can! I would like to share some photos in the Theme Park.

There was a Flea market in front of the Burger King Fast Food. And if you wanna play some online game or check urgent email, there is a Internet Cyber Cafe on the right.

Surprisingly, it was full!
I think there must be different feeling while surfing at the altitude of 1600 meter above sea level... :)

The counter of the Indoor Theme Park.

Statue of Liberty at Genting

I have no idea what is this statue above, you?

The decoration during Christmas...

There was a Mongolian promotions of their unique products.

We did some Family Rides in the Theme Park, one of them was the Rio Float.

Queuing for the Rio Float Ride.

This photo taken from the ride...

It took us round-and-round on top of the Theme Park, quite a nice view. The total duration was about 10-15 minutes...

I did have a meal (3 years ago) at the shop below, it's was just simple meal with rice, fried chicken, omelette & vegetables. It cost me MYR18.00 for it. That's the price within the Theme Park.

But I have no idea how much today...
And I noticed the Mineral Water selling at MYR5.00 for small and MYR10.00 for big bottle.

After we finish the fun session around 1.00am, we end our second day on Genting with ice cold Carlsberg beer....

Gaza's Massacre

Photo: Khalil Hamra/Associated Press
As we read of the unfolding massacre in Gaza, I thought it appropriate to excerpt the following from an opinion piece written by Tariq Ali in yesterday's The Guardian newspaper.

Here it is:

And Israeli citizens might ponder the following words from Shakespeare (in The Merchant of Venice), which I have slightly altered:

"I am a Palestinian. Hath not a Palestinian eyes? Hath not a Palestinian hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Jew is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that … the villainy you teach me, I will execute; and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction."

For those interested, here's the actual quotation from The Merchant of Venice:

I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is? If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The villainy you teach me I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction. (III.i.49–61)

Genting Outdoor Theme Park, Genting Highland

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!!!

Day 2
We were ready around 10:30am.
I took my breakfast at the food court beside the Taxi Station at ground floor Resort Hotel. Choice was limited, so I just had a chicken rice....
It cost me MYR9.00 (include cup of tea)
That's the price of chicken rice at 1500 meter above sea level...

We went in to the Genting Outdoor Theme Park around 11.00am. with the All Park ticket cost MYR51.00 per adult & MYR36.00 per child for one day.
The Main Entrance just beside Theme Park Hotel.

Once you step in, the guard will put a waterproof ring on your hand and that's the daily pass. The first ride we saw was this Spinner on the left...

Thrill Ride : Spinner - min height 107cm

On your right, there's a station for Family Ride : Monorail. The other station also available at the Indoor Theme Park.

Just right in front of us was the Chocolate Wonderland. But didn't go in...

We continue our walk....and I heard the screaming from the right. Then I noticed, it's the Cyclone Ride.

Thrill Ride : Cyclone - min. height 122cm

Peoples were pack on that day.

Oh! I won a Big Teddy Bear!

My daughter insisted to get a Candy from the Clown...

I believe there are at lease 500 of Koi in this pond...

The Koi fish pond is just beside this Flying Jumbo Ride.

Family Ride : Flying Jumbo

We did many Family Rides but not those Trill Rides, because my daughter is still too young for it...and I'm too old for it. I afraid my heart can't take it anymore! All those Thrill Rides were just for my eyes only! Haha! So if you are young and can take the Trill, just GO for it!

Along the way, I noticed this snack & souvenirs shop on the left...

Showboat Fantasy

Behind the Arena Of Stars (on the left on the main entrance), there are another 2 Thrill Rides : Flying Dragon & Sungai Rejang Flume Ride.

Thrill Ride : Flying Dragon - min. height 107cm

Surprisingly, the queue was long even almost 7.30pm of that day...I believe this is one of the Popular Ride.

The other ride is the Sungai Rejang Flume Ride. I advise you please prepare your Raincoat! You will get wet under the 20° C degree atmosphere!

Trill Ride : Sungai Rejang Flume Ride - min. height 122cm

As you can see behind the these Rides, there's small lake for boating.

A couple will be romantic on the boating, especially under the fog...

We continue our walk within all these joyful atmosphere around the Theme Park. At the end part of the left, we saw this Trill Ride : The Flying Coaster. It's one of the Signature Attraction! The Green Monorail was at the back...

Thrill Ride : The Flying Coaster - min. height 137cm

I was thinking....if I take this ride, my heart will fly out in no way!! Haha!
Then heading towards the building, you will pass by the Information Counter and the Ticket Counter. There is still another Thrill Ride Station in this building, the Rolling Thunder Mine Train.

While walking in the building, my daughter love this playground very much! I'm speechless...

And also a few Family Ride like Antique Car & Mini Train...

We took the ride of the Antique Car and Mini Train...

The ride was about 15 minutes where pass through most the attractions...


The above picture is the exit of the Trill Ride : Rolling Thunder Mine Train - min. height 122cm

Too bad, after 10 minutes waiting...still no sign of the train! But I noticed there a lot of Beautiful Mosses on the rock...

Now I understand, there are others colour than green...

After having fun in the building, we continue to others rides. The time was around 2pm, the Theme Park was covered by a heavy fog.

We passed by a stage where the magic show on it. On the right of the stage, the Pirate Ship was swinging! (Sorry for no photo)

I think the Genting Skyway was in maintenance, we miss it!

We took another Family Ride which was the Matahari Ferris Wheel.


It's not really high, but enough for you to see the whole Outdoor Theme Park of Genting. I took the chance to snap some photos of the Corkscrew.

Thrill Ride : Corkscrew - min. height 122cm

And just opposite the Ferris Wheel, there another Popular Ride for that day - The Space Shot.

Look at the queue!

Trill Ride : The Space Shot - min. height 137cm

The above picture was taken during my ride on the Ferris Wheel...The expression on their face told me, it's extremely exciting!!

Our last ride was in this Dinosaurland. Because my little princess wanna take a nap...

The entrance of the Dinosaurland.

The T-Rex was waiting for us!

Basically we were ride on the boat, after pass by the Artificial Dinosaur, we entering a dark room and the show started! Explaining where the Dinosaur came from and how many type existed in the world before...

The roar of the Dinosaur that end's our Outdoor Theme Park session, we went back to hotel for rest. And will continue our next program - The Indoor Theme Park.
