Malaysia has no shortage of theme parks, but even with the abundance of them, the Skyride Festival Park has risen to make a name for itself.
Reaching a height of one hundred and twenty meters, these are the first and the biggest of chained balloons in the country. This is a record confirmed by the Malaysian Book of Records. It can carry up to thirty people on one go but this largely depends on how favourable the climate is. The highlight of the balloon ride is the complete view over the entire city. Rest assured this symbolic building is the best way to gain a bird's view of Putrajaya and its surroundings. It is the main attraction in Skyride and it is not hard to understand the reasoning behind this. The Skyride Park is quite close to most hotels and serviced apartments in Cyberjaya such as the Citadines DPulze Cyberjaya so getting to the park is not a difficult task.
As you can guess by the name, this is a gruelling obstacle course said to be one of the toughest and exhausting courses in the entire country. The SkyWarrior Rainforest Challenge has a combined eight obstacles and is built in a way that the difficulty increases after every level. There is a time limit imposed on everyone that sharply increases the pressure and difficulty faced by the participant. It also tests the mental sharpness of a person and is an excellent way to gauge your fitness levels.
Not forgetting the kids while you are huffing at the SkyWarrior Rainforest Challenge, The SkyKids Warrior is an obstacle course designed just for the kids. It has fifteen obstacle courses and each obstacle course has been intricately built to increase your kid's physical strength as well as skills in coordinating. The entire obstacle course is closely monitored by qualified personnel to prevent any accidents, so your kid is in safe hands at all times.
Jump aboard the SkyCruise and take a delightful forty five minute cruise down the captivating Lake Putrajaya. The cruise brings you up and close to many sights you would normally miss such as the grand six hundred and fifty hectare artificial lake. The SkyCruise offers a number of packages to suit your preferences. These range from a sunset cruise where you can watch a captivating sunset on the waterway to a fine dining experience aboard the boat.
Of course, after so many thrilling adventures and exhausting obstacle courses, chances are that you are absolutely famished. Drop into the SkyTaste to dig into some of the tastiest meals as well as the theme park's iconic beverages. Set in a well-manicured garden that comes ready with picnic-styled benches and adequate protection from the sun, this is a great location to rejuvenate yourself after a tiring ride.
