After a year since the first proposal for a genting trip have been planned, we were finally setting off. Weeee. So, off we went.
Just in case. This is Genting, First World Hotel view.
To go up Genting from Setapak is just a piece of cake. Just take the Putra LRT to Terminal Putra and take the Genting bus and the Skyway up, it costs only RM 6.60. Reminder: Don't take the taxi, which some of us did. They makan up ur money by taking you to Genting for RM12.50 per person. Really stupid la. But then probably we are sooooo eager to reach there fast that we are quite easily persuaded by the taxi drivers. Sigh.
So, up we went the long winding road, the taxi style. And we reached First World Hotel,(which in many ways isn't "first world" as the name suggested, will come to that later). Checked in with Puvan's VIP card, which probably gives us the privilage to check in early, instead of waiting till 3pm.
The entrance from the lobby view.
Up we went to our room. We found our rooms(12 people in 2 rooms) to be very small.
This is our room.....not. Dream on lah.
This our room. Not so bright tho, coz we are having the ones which face other rooms. Budget what.
The toilet was sooooo tiny that you have only one step getting in and thats you are already facing the shower. The same goes for the toilet bowl. "First world" doesn't apply here.
After settling in, we have our butts out of the room ASAP, as we head for the Outdoor Theme Park. The fun begins.
This is the first ride, which is the.....OMG...i forgot the name. Heh. Anyway, its a warm-up.
We enjoyed ourselves with various rides there, here are some of them.
Typhoon, claimed to be the first ever roller coaster in Malaysia.
Corkskrew. Urm, it actually let us down, we are expecting much more fun, but I guess we wasted our adrenaline. Its not as fast and exciting compared to last time. I can even raise my hands up.
The next one is a screamer.
Yeap. The SoleroShot(not sure whether is spelled like that...)
Preparing ourselves for the ride. Just observe the hands on the bars, the grip might broke the bars into two. Keke.
This really gives you the creeps. Imagine urself pumped up to the very top and zoomed down with a freaking fast kmph, with your butt not sticking on the seat you are in, for 3 freaking times.
You can actually feel your brain in your stomach. The ultimate fun.
The rain forced us to cut short our adventure and we went for a cut-throat-price lunch at KFC, which charge us 15% more than the usual price down here. Then we have a tour of the Indoor section of Third World...sorry...First World Hotel. They do have shops exactly like the ones you can find in KLCC and Mid-Valley, only that it is located higher above sea level and they charge you the tourist-style price.
As we came with 12 people, its hard to go everywhere with 12 people sticking together every single moment. So some of us went again for the theme park and some of us head for the room for a brief rest.
Thus, the first part of our Genting trip ends here. At night, the party begins.....
Stay tuned.
