Sunway Lagoon Summer Getaway
8:57 PM
Technically, we don't have summer in Malaysia but whatever~
So, since the Malacca trip was cancelled, HL suggested to go Sunway Lagoon instead, just the two of us. I've always wanted to relive my childhood memories in this water themepark and moreover, there's Buy-One-Free-One promotion again (it's a mid-year promotion for both college/university students and Sunway Pals members)! The normal ticket price is RM120 per person which is freaking expensive! So this promotion sure is a good deal!
I think Sunway Lagoon has done a great job in providing convenience to customers. They have upgraded their wristbands! It's very convenient now as you can load a minimum of RM50 into the waterproof paper wristbands and enjoy cashless payment system inside the themepark! You can reload at counters located at several points in the themepark and get back your credit balances before 7PM. Futhurmore, they've also upgraded their lockers! Now it's electronic!

After we got our locker, I changed into my new swimwear. YES, my new swimwear. Remember last time I planned a Sunway Lagoon trip with my friends (uni friends, high school friends... eventually all cancelled =.=)? I bought a set of swimsuit for the trip but didn't have the chance to wear it until now lol.
Vuvuzela |
The first thing we hoped on was THE FAMOUS VUVUZELA: the world's largest vortex water ride, as claimed by Sunway Lagoon. I've wanted to try it since the first time I saw it in the advertisement when it just came out. Since it was HL's most anticipated ride of all and it was near the entrance of the water park, we went for it without warming up lol. Well, initially from how it seems in the picture, I thought it wouldn't be that thrilling. But boy, I was so wrong!
We had to share the ride with three other people (a father and his sons) because it required five people. Here is where I would say that it's nicer if you come with a bunch of friends, make it at least four people.
Coz it's kinda awkward when you're sitting inside the float with strangers... Don't know where to look =.=
The ride was very fast! HL wanted to record the whole thing but our hands had to hold on tightly to the float because the ride was quite rough! The peak of the thrill was when the ride reached a small peak (like the peak of a roller coaster but smaller I guess?) and we were thrown off the slide for a second and there was a free fall? Lol everything happened too fast before my brain can figure out what's going on. After the peak, we continued racing down the slide and into the vortex! That was where I got brain concussion LOL! And the ride was ended with a big splash on our traumatised body lol.
When I finally set my feet on the ground again, I felt that I've just gone through a car accident and I felt dizzy!
Am I too old for these shits?! Or just lack of sleep? I'll go with lack of sleep... Before I can restore my "sobriety", the father suggested to go one more time and I got dragged along by HL into that ride again =.=
Yeah, I still had same degree of concussion for the second time.

After Vuvuzela, we went for the Congo Challenge jet water slides because it was just next to Vuvuzela.
It's nothing compared to Vuvuzela (basically everything else was just a leisurely ride after Vuvuzela). But I hurt my ankle here =.= We also went for the African Pythons, the curly water slides. It was just blah...

Then, we went into the Waterplexx 5D theatre. I was expecting it to be like the 4D Motion Master in Genting Highland. Well, more or less like that but with more water splashing! The place were freezing! Actually it's not that cold maybe because we were soaking wet so we felt it's extra colder than the real temperature. The interior of the place was like an insect hive... or some mutated insect alien thingy's hiding place. So cold and wet... The whole point of this ride was just getting wet...

Before we go for lunch, we went for the pirate ship ride first because we both agreed that we don't wanna puke out our lunch. Coz it was a 360 degree ride! Well, I tried it before when I was a kid. It was one of my favourite rides but I don't know why the feeling is totally different now o.O All I got from this ride was dizziness. Haiz... Sign of aging...
After that, we went to find the flume ride that we both wanted to play so much. In the end, what we found was just disappointment.
Niagara Fall Flume Ride |
It was my favouritest ride of all when I came here as a kid years ago! Awww so sad! Why do they have to choose to close this ride out of so many rides to make a space for new hotel?! Even the Genting Highland's flume ride also been demolished! Wtf! So many sweet memories gone :(

Then, we had a hearty lunch at Marrybrown. After all the "trauma" that my body's been through, it was the most "幸福" moment throughout the day when I was eating my fried chicken rice lol.
After lunch, we went for a walk in the Wildlife Park. There weren't many animals but I still enjoyed it. We went to the animal "theatre" at 3PM which was supposed to be an animal show I think. However, I guess they didn't have enough animals or trainers so there was no show. They just let us pet three small animals: civet cat, fluffy rabbit and blue-tongued skink.
The civet cat caught my eyes. It kept nibbling on the keeper's hands like a dog! I wanted to let it nibble my hands too but I was afraid that it might be painful because it looked aggressive! Nevertheless, the keeper said that it's just like a pet dog, likes to play a lot with people!

This is not the civet cat I saw in the Wildlife Park lah...Just a google image I stolen... A fun fact: Civet cat is actually the cat that produce cat poop coffee! I just found out about this when I googled for its pictures lol.
