Those whirling and twirling waters will take you by surprise. The moment is yours, and the moment is unique. Nestled in Petaling Jaya, Sunway Lagoon Theme Park is not far from Kuala Lumpur. It is easy to reach here, if you stay in one of the Kuala Lumpur Serviced Apartments such as Somerset Ampang Kuala Lumpur.
The park awaits you with a number of water rides as well as dry-land activities. At the park you will get to witness the manmade river, a surf beach, a wave pool and a revolving pirate ship. All this come to life in a space of about 80-acre land. Interestingly this theme park is where it was earlier a mine and quarry. Now it attracts a huge tourist base with its water amusements.
With the growing tourist interest, the park has now expanded itself into five different zones: water park, scream park, amusement park, extreme park and wildlife park. Of all this, you will be most mesmerized by the water park. And there is more. This is where you will get to experience Malaysia’s first ever surf simulator too. ‘The FlowRider’, the surf simulator, is yours, if you are a expert surfer. You can exhibit your surfing talent with different surfing modes.
For a change from surfing, you can opt for the Congo challenge. It is not going to be an easy task with a six-lane water slide. Be careful, this is mostly for those who seek thrill. You will have to play the game with extreme care about the African pythons. Cameron Climb is another interesting game, if you are an untamable thrill-seeker. You got to jump from 15 metres above and play the game.
Do not worry a least about your kids. They will be well looked after. After all those adrenaline-filled activities, set out for a different experience. There is a water playground that reminds you of an African village. You will see all those huts and warriors guarding the entrance.
