Then we came to the highlight of the trip. Well at least for me. We were headed to Times Square!
KLCC - KL Sentral (Putra) --> KL Sentral - Imbi (Monorail)
I was excited enough to take pictures to document my journey to the Largest Indoor Theme Park in Malaysia!!
I was pretty disappointed with the station though. I thought the stop would have a fancier name.
Times Square has 13 floors of shopping but we were only concerned about Level 7. That's where the Supersonic Odyssey was.
The rollercoaster was on a higher level and we had to take the escalator up. Sidah was excited.
I was super pumped up!
Unfortunately the ride didn't live up to the hype. It was insane to be zooming past shoppers on a speeding rollercoaster but the ride was missing huge vertical drops. Instead it relied on twists and turns. Even the 36o degree loop looked more impressive than it was.
It was still fun though.
We went twice as it saved us the trouble of going up the escalator again. Next ride? The DNA mixer.
In my NS days we had a funfair where one ride looked very similar. That ride went round like the hands of a clock. This one had more dimensions to it - the ride spun us forwards and back. Imagine the effect you get from the viking ship or top gun without the swinging and it'll be close to this experience.
It was a mistake to make it our second ride because after that Sidah was freaked out.
She had to sit down and bought a drink to calm her nerves. When she was done we took the nearest line. It had a lot of kids lining up so it should have been safe.
The Dizzy Orbit is a simple ride. They bring you up to a height and spin you around then you're back down. It was on the ride that I discovered Sidah had a fear of heights.
Good thing she hadn't realized what was in store. I think after this she made it a point to observe the rides before she got on them.
She decided to play safe and try the most kiddie one next, the Dizzy Izzy.
The scariest thing about it was the name. Yet Sidah was still visibly shaken.
Actually I think that was the scariest ride for me personally. They should have a height limit - at some points I was close to hitting my head on some of the claws of the machine as we spun around.
Next we tried the Ooort's Express. It was the longest ride of my life! We spun and spun and spun and spun.
I didn't feel so good after that. Sidah still had fear in her eyes.
We needed some time to recover so we were back up on the escalator and in line for more rollercoast-ing. My excitedness had worn off by now.
It took a lot of convincing but I finally got Sidah on the last ride.
It wasn't Top Gun. Not even close. Basically it just spun you around 360 degrees. There was little thrill in it for me.
Haiz. All in all after the novelty factor wore off, the rides were just so so. No matter. The important thing is that I finally got to ride on the rollercoaster in Times Square!
