Genting Outdoor Theme Park
|
Genting Highlands 'City of Entertainment' . Malaysian call it the Las Vegas of Malaysia because here is the only place where gambling is legal. Muslims are not allowed inside the casino. We apply this good protection regulation to ourselves too. We do not visit the casino either during the trip. 1800 m above sea level, Genting boasts of some awesome rides in outdoor and indoor theme park, 18-hole golf course and array of other entertainment outlets. |
![]() Fun at the peak! Welcome to Genting Theme Park! |

|
Genting's outdoor theme park consists of rides which cater for guests for all ages. Rides such as the corkscrew and the spaceshot are not for the faint hearted. The admission price is quite reasonable and guests can re-enter later in the day if they leave the park. The park get very crowded during school holidays. To try most of the popular rides, one has to be early and buy the tickets the moment the counters open before long queue gathered at the counter. This was the first time Shirley and Yin on any of such rides and activities. Their faces were full of joy mixed with fear. Yin was thrilled as it was her first time taking the merry go around, kiddies rides, Tea Cup Family Rides and lots of other adventurous and thrilling rides in the outdoor and indoor parks. Genting Highlands...Xing and I
visited last November. The
memories are still so fresh even after over a year! Shirley and Yin were adventurous sort. They practically tried all slow rides leaving those very fast speed out. The indoor theme park at night was also amazing just as it was glittering, but unluckily we missed out on a couple of the games/experiences there being exhausted as we were by the day's end. For us who cam from a sleepy town, there was nothing really to 'dislike' about in such a wonderful place.
To sum up - the visit was SIMPLY
EXHILARATING AND SIMPLY MEMORABLE!! |
|
the mist was awesome. So beautiful and serene amidst the lush greenery.
Genting's surroundings is very picturesque.
It was freaking cold !! Even more so since it's the rainy season !! Genting is big and we almost got lost ! There's way too many escalators. The first day we hung out in the indoor theme park and visited a few places. The rain leaving the outdoor theme park damp and covered with billowing wind and mist. It was so beautiful, We love the mist ! Though it was freakishly cold.

This is skeleton of the largest shark teeth in the world. Xing and I went to Cybercafe to surf internet for some information. The charge is Rm 10.00 for 40 minutes. Meals expenses is more higher than last year when we came in December. Food there is expensive ... but what can you do when it's far away from the city and has foreigners frequently visiting them ? For example : Hakka Pan Mee Rm 10.93 (9.50++) Penang Fried Kue Teow Rm 10.00 Wantoon Mee Soup Rm 8.50 (at Market Food Street) A Cup of Soft Drink Rm 3.5 (at Market Food Street) |
