Rocks. It was one of the best 60 seconds in my life. Yes, I have a few best 60 seconds. I think. I went on the first roller-coaster.... in Malaysia. Oh well. It's called the Cyclone. I think I know why it's called Cyclone, because it doesn't feel like 1 minute and it's not that high and it goes around in circles. For you thrill lovers, Cyclone is for noobs. Yep, I'm a noob when it comes to thrill rides. But after taking the Cyclone, I was like WHOAH. When I got out of that 4-seat car, I repeated that same Korean word for 'crazy', "Micheosso", I guess that's how it's spelt. And I regretted making that ridiculous face when the camera snapped. I wish I have a scanner. Oh well, at least I have the picture.
Forgot to mention.... my cousins and my sisters and I were at the peak of Genting highlands yesterday. And the cable car is a ride in itself. Seriously, I'm not afraid of heights but I was still afraid to look down. Coupled with the thick fog, the view looks like a bottomless pit. And the theme park is a freezer. We had to buy gloves, earmuffs and hats. It never snows in Malaysia but it was so cold, it felt like a blizzard. Sort of. My lips turned blue. I was planning to take the Spinner. You know, the one like where the seats are like swings at a park, and the giant thing spins around real hard and you have to clutch your chain thingy... real hard. Yeah that. Unfortunately, it rained and practically every outdoor ride was closed. I was also planning to take the Flying Dragon, another coaster, but it was closed too. So I took a boat to the Dino Cave in Dinosaurland instead.
Call me a wimp all you like, but the Dino Cave is pretty scary I tell ya. The whole place turned pitch black and I can see the faint outline of a T-Rex's head right in front of me. Then I heard deep rumbling and the sound of falling rocks. Then the left wall started glowing. I have pretty bad eyesight so it took me a while to see red lines of glass lava. Then, a small dim spotlight lit up and I saw the rex right in front of my nose, moving, it's robotic metal jaws opening and closing. I inched back from the rex a little, to avoid getting clamped in rusted steel. Let me rephrase that. Sharp, pointy, long and rusted steel. Then I saw pterodactyls and brachiosaurs and raptors. There's this one dinosaur with frills, I forgot its name. It spat at me and I was like, "HEY! Watch it, buddy,".
Well, even though I braced the Cyclone and wanted to take other thrillers, I would probably never take the real thrill rides. Like the Corkscrew, a roller-coaster that's like... well a corkscrew. And the Space Shot. The tall tower/pillar/cuboid thing with seats around it, and the seats take you to the top and they drop suddenly, and you can see the coins in your pocket floating. And that's the only thing awesome about it. Scary, dudes, scary. And-and-and the Flying Coaster. Man, it looked so scary. It's like a normal roller-coaster, only you lie down on your stomach and you, well, fly. And the seats are in a single horizantal row. The cool thing is, the car has a Spiderman pattern.Labels: experiences
