Sunway Lagoon

Where once stood a mining pool, a magical kingdom of fun and games can now be found. Located at Bandar Sunway in Petaling Jaya, not far from Kuala Lumpur, Sunway Lagoon is the country's first international standard water theme park. The park consists of two parts, the Water Park and the Adventure Park.

At the Water Park, which has become a place for sun and splash, the ride on the Toboggan is the high point. It is a nerve wrecking 45 degree water sleigh ride at break-neck speed. The Double Twister is a spiraling water tunnel, which reputedly takes riders on a trip they will never forget. Another not to be missed frolic is the surf pool. Overlooking the Water Park is the Adventure Park, which offers a mixture of fairyland, wonderland, and a dream come true. Among the more exciting rides is the Sky Flyer, which looks like two pendulum arms with passengers cabins located at each end. These arms swing back and forth, building momentum until they eventually swing the full 360 degrees. Occasionally, the arms stop at the 12 o'clock position, leaving squealing riders upside down! Then there is also the Runaway Train, the Flying Carpet, and many more.
