Genting, is a very special place for most Malaysians. It's the only place that has a legal casino(to date 12/15/2021), right on top of the hill. Since the country has majority of Muslims, which gambling is illegal for that religion, Genting group had made a theme park to accommodate non-gambler as well. Therefore, today I'm going to take you for a quick tour with a video show of this place.
The original indoor theme park was closed for renovation(originally planned for 3 years of full renovation), and now has been on it 4th due to delay by the plannedemic. Since home minister got a company sponsored stay due to work required to attend a forum, so we tagged along. Good gracious God, the next day upon our checkout, is the actual soft opening day!
Kids spent no time, immediately dragged us there to queue up for ticket. Like any other extreme rides, minimum height is required so the occupants doesn't fall out from the cradle. I'm not exactly sure if this is a blessing, the hair made up of the balance of the minimum height, so he's actually allowed to go into the riders.
This part of the building is actually an extension. Previously, this is an outdoor amusement park, and now they have extended it. The ticketing counter setup was not efficient, as I can see some people actually jumping queue, but the operator weren't able to tell whether if they're following the queue. Not to mentioned, the first day of reopening, there's so many people at the queue, and probably everyone forgotten we're in the middle of plannedemic yo.
Each of these rides has their minimum height requirement. The big girl actually big enough to go for those extreme rides, but the boy... nah... he'll just have to stick to the milder version, and not many of those rides can fit them both.
I can't remember what was the rider's name, but it's a lifted up musical cup. If you watch the video, the cup that spinning the fastest, is this 2 little rascal. I know I should not be worry, but I'm just being a dad, and start wondering if they will throw up.
Isn't it amazing, for a ride and these kid sparks a conversation. I have no idea what were they talking about, but I know I don't like my dad to ask me everytime when I have a conversation with another person, so I didn't ask.
There are several other rides, which they're too fast to capture, like the glider. The speed is so fast and so violent, I simply fail to follow. Even looking at it makes me feel nausea. One last thing we did was the floating rides that surrounding the entire theme park. The operator told us, it usually 15, but since this is a soft opening, they charge 25. I was like... what the... she said, it make sense because after being closed for couple of years, people are eagerly wanting to spend time here, and especially after the plannedemic. So, this is the best time, even with extra payment, the people wouldn't mind to pay more. I have a question in my mind, which I didn't voice out. Are they going to adjust the price tag back to normal? Will you charge cheaper if you know people willing to pay a higher price?
