Experience Thrills Without Breaking the Bank: Genting Skyworlds Adventure
An Affordable Theme Park Getaway in Malaysia
Dreaming of theme park adventures but Disney and Universal Studios are stretching your budget? Look no further than Genting Skyworlds in Malaysia! This amazing park offers an exciting experience without the hefty price tag.
Easy Transportation from Kuala Lumpur
Getting to Genting is a breeze! I used the Redbus app (you'll need a Malaysian SIM for registration) to book a comfortable bus ride from KL Sentral to Awana Bus Terminal. The ticket cost was only around RM10 per person, and the journey took about 1 to 1.5 hours. From there, a round-trip cable car ticket, costing RM20 per person, whisked me directly to Genting.
Maximize Your Time at Genting Skyworlds
One of the best things about Genting Skyworlds is the minimal wait times! I was able to hop onto most rides with only 5-10 minutes of queuing. This meant I could easily cover all the attractions in half a day, making the most of my visit.
Must-Try Rides at Genting Skyworlds:
- Samba Gliders: Pure fun!
- Ice Age: A thrilling, fast-paced roller coaster.
- Independence Day: Resurgence: A captivating 5D experience, though expect a slightly longer queue.
- Planet of the Apes: Enhanced if you're familiar with the movie!
- Cosmic Tower: A heart-stopping drop tower for adrenaline junkies.
- Night at the Museum: Drift: Be prepared to get splashed!
- Boot Camp: Perfect for the little ones.
Delicious and Affordable Eats
After all the exhilarating rides, I satisfied my hunger at the Gold Gate Snack Bar with their massive 18-inch hot dog, ideal for sharing among three people. A set cost just around 53 RMB – a great value!
Skytropolis Indoor Theme Park
For a change of pace, I moved indoors in the afternoon to Skytropolis, another theme park, where I chose either an unlimited rides pass for RM90 per person, or pay per ride.
Top Rides at Skytropolis:
- Glide Hero: The most thrilling option!
- Mini Drop Tower: A smaller version of the drop tower for those easing their way up to the bigger one.
- Giant Swing: Experience a full 360-degree rotation.
- Spin Top: Surprisingly comfortable and fun.
- Ferris Wheel: Perhaps skippable as it is quite small.
Why Choose Genting Skyworlds?
Compared to the long queues often encountered at Universal Studios and Disney, Genting Skyworlds offers a fantastic and time-efficient alternative for theme park enjoyment. A memorable day!
Important Tip: Dress Appropriately
Remember to dress warmly! Temperatures on the mountain can drop to around 20 degrees Celsius, so be prepared for the cooler weather.
