My adventures in Sunway Lagoon

It's been a while (as usual) since I last updated my blog. Accept it. I'm lazy. And also I was recovering from a (almost) high fever, having a temperature of 39.4 celcius (103 F) so please God... NEVER AGAIN. It sucked. I don't know how people can post FB status about being sick. It's something I NEVER want to go through again and let people see me in that condition. EVER. Anyway, 3 weekends ago, I went on an awesome date to Sunway Lagoon, Selangor. It was AWESOME. Seriously, extremely awesome. Although I didnt get to Bungee jump or even get on the G-Force as planned, the day was one to remember.

Entrance was RM90.00 for Malaysians for ALL the parks except Extreme, Bungee and G-Force.

 SUNWAY LAGOON SCREAMPARK

I am famous for being a true scaredy cat. The last time I entered Sunway's Screampark I ended up crumpled at a corner while screaming hysterically. That time the theme was Prison Break. So yeah, I'm scared of prisoners, if not the prison itself. The theme park that day was zombies. Something about World War Z. Luckily, the girl in front of me kept screaming at everything. Including the poor old empty wall. So the ghost actors decided to pick on her all the time. And all i did was laugh and laugh and pretended to be cool. It was freaky. Especially the area where they put up statues and covered them with white sheets. (even in Insidious 2 that part freaked me out). And one statue ended up being alive. I hate pocongs.

Here's a picture of a fake supposed to be scary graveyard at the entrance guaranteed to quench your intestines to wish they try harder.

 SUNWAY's TOMAHAWK.

Two words. Barf Avenue. The one ride that managed to leave me speechless. It would prolly be awesome if i wasnt approaching 30, but at this age, sitting on swings to the extent of turning u upside down and your guts inside out, is really a bad idea. Good thing I managed to not throw up but it left me exhausted and dehydrated, hence I decided I couldn't bungee jump. Went halfway on the suspended bridge and decided I'm too old for this sh** and went to the tiny animal park instead for a break and recovery

SUNWAY's WILDLIFE PARK

First of all... "WILD"...??? Honestly I don't know where they got the idea to collectively label rabbits and tortoises and guinea pigs and parrots as wild animals. I.. just... don't get it... Though there were pythons and ostriches which okay, a little on the wildside, Sunway should just settle with "Sunway Animal sort-of interactive Zoo". But for animal lovers like me, this tiny part of the theme park was heaven sent (minus the smell). I played (litterally) with the fluffy rabbits and watched the tortoise struggles with their heavy shells and stared at some parrots. And most important of all, I recovered from the sickness Tomahawk gave me. The rabbits were friendly. I stayed away from the goats though it seemed like they were calling "Anne... anne....". Creepy as they really almost sounded human. 

As soon as I recovered, we decided to give up on dry entertainment since many were on maintenance (Pirate Ship and Gold Mine etc...) and proceeded to change into swimming attire and started with water parks.

SUNWAY's WATERPARK

Honestly I didnt expect this to be the highlight of the day. There were so many rides in the waterpark that we forgot about plain old wading. Every ride was awesome and worth the 20 minute line. 20 not more of course. Thank God it was the end of school holidays.

Sorry, no photo available. Didnt have time to carry my cam everywhere. This is googled.

We started with the 5D water cinema. Well, honestly, they could do better. The idea was great but there were bloopers such as workers walking everywhere in the auditorium and some water sprays not working. Basically it's an interactive cinema where they show you a video of a water coaster, and spray you with water in a super cold ACed hall.

The next ride was the African pyhton slide. There were 3 to choose from. Fully closed, partially closed and fully open air slide. We ( me and my bf) chose the partial one. It was all right but too short. The opposite of python ride was some straight slide that went awesomely fast. Forgot wat it was called but it's only fun if you went on with a partner coz riding it alone is... just... sad...

The most awesome ride which i went on TWICE was the Vuvuzuela. Now that is what you call a water ride. Just do not go on it after a meal coz u would end up well... you know. It gives 5 people a go so be prepared to share your moment with strangers. Just had to grab on tight so i don't end up on some strange guy's lap... in a tight speedo... Oh God...

Okay enough with the crazy imagination... The Vuvuzuela was ultimately the best ride of the day. And last.

We decided to end our Sunway Lagoon tour and head home. After all those rides ESPECIALLY the Tomahawk, I found myself seriously dehydrated and exhausted. We postponed the G-Force project to "someday" as I surely didn't want to end up throwing up my lunch. Also decided not to go the the Western theme park. (Cowboy towns and stuff) And that was the end of the day...
