Flying @ Skytrex

Date: 19 March 2011

Venue: Skytrex Adventure Park

Challenge: Big Thrill

For those who want to know what it feels to be flying, one perfect place for that purpose is Skytrex Adventure Park. Located at Taman Pertanian Malaysia or also known as Bukit Cerakah in Shah Alam, it is definitely not far from the big city of Kuala Lumpur. It takes only about 30 to 45 minutes by car.

The challenges are divided into 3 types based on its difficulties.

1) Little Adventure

2) Big Thrill

3) Extreme Challenge

My friends and I chose the second one, Big Thrill as it is not too easy and not too difficult. The fee was RM 45 but since i managed to gather 10 persons, we got 10% discount. So, yes...we got it cheaper. Yay!!!! =)

We booked the 10.30 am session since it was not too early and not too late. And also because some of my friends were from KL and they need time to get to Shah Alam. We made plan to meet up at my office and drove to TPM. The weather was very cloudy and we were praying hard that it won't be raining. Unfortunately, it was raining!!! So we need to wait for the rain to stop and we officially started our challenge at around 11.00 am.

The first thing to do was of course listening to the instructions by the guide. The instruction would be in English. But if you don't know English, you can asked the guide to translate it to Malay or Chinese, or you can asked other participants to translate it.

The next step would be the Skytrex Initiation. This is where we go through the initiation circuit before climbing Little Adventure or Big Thrill or Extreme Adventure. And as for us, it would be the Big Thrill!! Here we learnt how to use the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and were trained to use the PPE.

After finishing the Skytrex Initiation, we then headed to the Big Thrill departure entrance and off we went for the challenges!!!!
