Sports and Adventure in Singapore: 3 attractions on Sentosa.

Sentosa, an island off Singapore, which can be accessed by car, bus, cable car and monorail, is full of attractions that are bound to attract the tourist!

Some of the attractions include Resorts World Sentosa, Underwater World. In this post, we will introduce 3 attractions that are fun and yet adventurous to some!

The first attraction is the Luge. It offers a truly unique outdoor experience suitable for all ages that is not found anywhere else in Singapore or Southeast Asia. Even though it might seem to be scary while waiting for our turn, it turned out to be really fun and just like the slogan for the Luge, "once is never enough!"

The second attraction is the skyride, which is near to the Luge, and is usually taken together, is a ride that takes you up to the hill, and allows the passenger take a breathtaking view of Singapore as the city skyline and harbour transform into a dazzling city of lights at night. During the day, it displays yet another side to Singapore and Sentosa. For those that have acrophobia (the fear of heights), need not worry! As this attraction is safe and goes at a relatively slow speed, the phobia of heights would soon be forgotten!

How to get there?

Car: Imbiah Lookout carpark and Beach carpark.

Sentosa bus: Blue Line and Red Line bus.

Bus: Orange Sentosa bus from Habourfront bus interchange to Beach Station.

For the Luge and Skyride, both of them operate from 10am to 9.30pm.

The third attraction is the Sentosa 4D Magix. There are 3 types of shows that are available there, "Desperados", "Pirates" and "Extreme Log Rides". Desperados is an interactive game where you can sit on a "horse" and get your guns to shoot at the targets! The "horse" will move when the targets appear, and thus making it challenging. Pirates is a 4D movie that has gotten 3 times in a row the Asian Attractions award. It is a really amazing experience inside the theatre whereby the Pirates Of The Carribean abstract was played. 3D Glasses were provided for all of us who are going to catch the 4D movie. Therefore, everything felt so real, hilarious and unbelievable in the sense that it felt like you are in the movie scene itself since all the graphics are popped up like real objects. There are certain scenes which are like a 'dream-come-true' feeling and it acts up immediately at that instant. For example, real water will be sprayed onto the audiences when the pirate in the movie starts spitting water out. And there are effects of crab claws clawing on audiences' legs when the crabs in the movie are clawing the specific man. This is actually a great experience to begin with because not many people even Singapore citizens, have been there and done that before. It makes use of the latest and advanced technology to give off fascinating effects and impress thousands of people. It is considered as a type of more relaxed and casual activity, more towards the leisure entertainment adventure. Extreme Log Rides brings the audience to the Himalamazon which is a place to grow super trees! The audience will feel that this is their bumpiest ride ever, while safely kept in the seats! With the extremely exhilarating ride on the artificial log with 3D glasses kept on, audiences will have to resist and hold on to their fear as they embark through the rough and rugged whole-course journey throughout the 10-15 minutes of the ride. Remember, it is not for the weak-hearted as the ride is going to be just a snap of the fingers.

In my opinion, I recommend adolescents and maybe leisure-seeking adults to go and take on these 3 rides. It is assured that you will get the best out of these rides and be able to enjoy and appreciate the art of adventure in the cyber world. It is most suitable for people who seeks entertainment and soft adventure but prefers enjoying indoors instead of the outdoor hard adventure. It is completely indoors and equipped with air-conditioning around the premises. You will be taken into another world during these shows and rides and after you complete all of them, you will definitely be enthralled by the wonders of technology and the beauty of indoor adventure and leisure. So why not, give it a try now? :)
