Genting Highlands Casino and Theme Park
Feb 22nd, 2006 by Neo
The night was truely an exciting one in the glittering Casino de Genting. Anyway, we were not good at almost all of the games in the casino such as the Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, Pontoon, etc, and we are not prepared to invest too much money too… Thus, most of us only played the slot machines. Too bad, could not bring home the brand new Honda CRV, nor the accumulated jackpot that runs into the millions of Ringgit Malaysia.
The next day, we waked up early. The view from the First World Hotel car park was magnificent.

Surrounded by mother nature and cool fresh air, what a breathtaking view of the Genting Highlands skyline.
Check out what the Second-class Photographer captured using his Sony Digital Camera. This is within the indoor theme park area.

This looks pretty familiar. What’s it called?

Very colorful view. Statue of Liberty.
Enough. We then proceeded to the Outdoor Theme Park. Just after the entrance, I noticed a new ride that I have never seen before in Genting. It’s called the Flying Coaster.

This is a unique hang-gliding roller coaster that gives thrill-seekers the incredible sensation of zero gravity, together with the realistic effect of flying like Spiderman. The unique positioning of the passengers - four riders “fly” together, side by side - is a new way of experiencing drops, spirals and swooping turns at very high speed. This is surely not for the weak hearted like us!

Fun on the water with the Bumper Boats. If you loved bumper car rides, you’ll love this even more! Can you see our group members on the boats?

Matahari, that’s the name given to the outdoor Ferris wheel. Matahari is the Malay word for the “sun”.

This is the so called Mascot Fountain Wishing Well. “I wish my readers healthy and happiness. I wish I will win the Honda CRV and the jackpot”

Tired of walking? Then, take a pleasant ride on this Mini Train that will bring you touring the Outdoor Theme Park.

Space Shot is a rapid vertical ascent and descent thrill ride. It lifts up to 12 people into the air some 400 meters high, providing an exciting G-force on the way up and a feeling of weightlessness on the way down. Again this is not for the weak hearted. Bravo for those people who took up the challenge - why their legs shaking ah?

Late afternoon, the fog sets in rendering this nice picture. The cool and crisp mountain air about 6,000 feet above sea level is really refreshing.
We realised that we have not taken our lunch yet albeit it was already late afternoon. How about something to eat? ![]()

[…] Let me share with you the Space Shot video clip that I recorded during the recent trip to Genting Highlands. I have delayed uploading this because I thought I might find some time to “correct” the video - it is rotated 90 degree, since I took the video vertically with my digicam. […]
wow! ur trip sounded awesome. U have inspired me to go on the rides. ^^
I’ll be there sooner or later… at casino Genting Highlands. See ya there.
Genting is fun. Is my memorable place for me. Haha…
yeah! its really nice pictures and all the little notes and experience is worth considering since i am making my way up there in 2 weeks time, aloha…here i come!!!
I’ve been there few times.. Genting Higlands is a place that i must go every year.. i hope Genting will improve their theme park.. after took space shot for the first time, i felt my legs didn’t have energy anymore & my body wants to collapse.
I SIT ALL THE ROALLR COSTER WHEN I WAS 11
Yeah!it’d be good and better off if the theme park is less crowded, more tidy and spicky n spanky squeaky clean, icy cooler and upgraded to be more attractive and user friendilier altogether, i kind of miss the classiness and star ratings it should be tagged. cheerio!
I like Genting Highlands very much because it’s so cold compared to Indonesia.
