Fun Times on a Budget: Genting Skyworlds Theme Park, Malaysia!
Dreaming of theme park thrills without breaking the bank? Genting Skyworlds in Malaysia might just be your answer! Think Disney or Universal Studios, but with a Malaysian twist, and much lighter on your wallet.
Getting There is a Breeze!
Getting from Kuala Lumpur to Genting is super easy. I use the Redbus app - you'll need a Malaysian SIM to sign up though. You can snag a bus from KL Sentral to Awana Bus Terminal for around RM10 per person, and return cable car tickets are about RM20. The bus journey takes about an hour to an hour and a half.
Once you arrive, hop on the cable car straight up to Genting. The queues are usually short - often only 5-10 minutes per ride, meaning you can cram everything in! Seriously, half a day is often enough.
Skyworlds: Rides You Need To Experience!
Here are some of my personal favourite Skyworlds rides:
- Samba Gliders: Seriously, so much fun!
- Ice Age: A fast-paced roller coaster that'll get your heart pumping.
- Independence Day: Resurgence: This 5D experience is the most thrilling, but be prepared for a longer queue.
- Planet of the Apes: Definitely more enjoyable if you're familiar with the movie.
- Cosmic Tower: Hold on tight for this drop tower ride – it's not for the faint-hearted!
- Night at the Museum: Drift: Get ready to get splashed!
- Boot Camp: Perfect for the little ones.
Fuel Up!
After all those rides, you'll be hungry! Head to Gold Gate Snack Bar and grab their massive 18-inch hot dog. It's big enough to share between three people and only costs around 53 RMB.
Skytropolis Indoor Theme Park: More Fun Awaits!
Spend the morning exploring Skyworlds and then head indoors to Skytropolis in the afternoon. You can grab an unlimited ride pass for RM90 per person, or just pay per ride.
My Skytropolis highlights:
- Glide Hero: The most thrilling ride in Skytropolis!
- Mini Drop Tower: A smaller version of the big one, for those who want a little less adrenaline.
- Giant Swing: A wild 360-degree experience.
- Spin Top: Surprisingly comfortable and fun.
- Ferris Wheel: Honestly, a bit too small to be worth it.
Why Choose Genting Skyworlds?
Compared to the crazy long lines at Universal Studios and Disney, Genting Skyworlds is a fantastic choice. It's all the thrills, with a fraction of the waiting!
Important Tip: Remember to dress warmly! The temperature on the mountain can drop to around 20 degrees Celsius, so you don't want to get caught out!
Enjoy your adventure!
