Sunway Lagoon
Where once stood a mining pool, a magical kingdom of fun and games can now be
found. Located at Bandar Sunway in Petaling Jaya, not far from Kuala Lumpur, Sunway Lagoon
is the country's first international standard water theme park. The park consists of two
parts, the Water Park and the Adventure Park.
At the Water Park, which has become a place for sun and
splash, the ride on the Toboggan is the high point. It is a nerve wrecking 45 degree water
sleigh ride at break-neck speed. The Double Twister is a spiraling water tunnel, which
reputedly takes riders on a trip they will never forget. Another not to be missed frolic
is the surf pool. Overlooking the Water Park is the Adventure Park, which offers a mixture
of fairyland, wonderland, and a dream come true. Among the more exciting rides is the Sky
Flyer, which looks like two pendulum arms with passengers cabins located at each end.
These arms swing back and forth, building momentum until they eventually swing the full
360 degrees. Occasionally, the arms stop at the 12 o'clock position, leaving squealing
riders upside down! Then there is also the Runaway Train, the Flying Carpet, and many
more.
