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.
