Skytrex

Sempena #VisitMalaysia2014, meh nak review sikit Skytrex Adventure at Bukit Cerakah, Shah Alam. I went there last 2 months kot. Macam last minute plan. Dh plan lamaaa tapi biasa la to get everyone together during weekend yang free is almost impossible. haha. So adhoc plan is so far the best.

For those who planned to go to Skytrex rajin2 la check their website for booking. http://www.skytrex-adventure.com/ Susah jugak nak booking lagi2 kalau school holiday. I called myself lucky sebab dapat book only a few days before. Tapiii itu pon dapat slot at 2.00pm which was not our preference. We preferred morning slot konon2 taknak berjemur panas but it wasn't that bad sebab dalam hutan kan. Tropikaaa sangat matahari tak dapat menembusi pokok2 gituuuuu. 

So we chose "Extreme Challenge" (RM55) or I should say the hardest from 3 circuits. Bukan nak berlagak hebat tapiii alang2 dah pergi kan, better pergi yang paling best. And I would recommend this Challenge even for first timer. you'll get the best out of it with Extreme Challenge. UNLESS, for those yang ade acrophobia (baru google nama) or height phobia, try la Little Adventure dulu. Yang lain2 tu rendah ke tinggi ke gemok ke kurus ke, take "Extreme Challenge" and I'm so sure you'll survived. hehe

Before we went there, we googled the Extreme Challenge images and read a few reviews. Saje nak get all excited and be prepared kononnya. Bile tengok gambar flying fox from 22 meters above the ground mcm WOW scaryyyyy. anddd we thought that was the scariest challenge, and another WOW image was when you have to walk on a single rope from one platform to another.

And here's Expectation Vs Reality

Tip 1: Be there early. At least 30 mins before your slot. Boleh beli2 air dulu ke kat situ
Tip 2: Wear sport attire. Sport shoes sebab senang nak grip atas tali.
Tip 3: Go to bathroom first. Selesaikan apa2 yang patut. There's no way outtt once you've started.
Tip 4: Rent a bottle holder. Bawak air mineral, Camera/phone.
Tip 5: Have fun! hehe

Bila sampai sana ade satu counter untuk Skytrex, so register dulu and buy the park entry ticket (RM3 not included in Skytrex ticket). Bawak duit sikit utk glove etc. Lepas tu ade bus transfer exclusive for Skytrex. Jangan naik bus yg general for park. That one is different route. Bile sampai dekat sana, fill in the form, buy a glove (RM3) (highly recommended), rent a locker and bottle holder (RM5). Then, wear harness, safety briefing (pay attention to the instructor because you've to be independent almost all time, the instructor is not waiting for you at every platform) andddd you're good to go!

First Challenge was sooo tiring. We have to climb 14m high ladder. Gila penat nampak sangat stamina sangat mensedihkan kahkahkah. Lepas tu first flying fox 22m above the ground crossing hutan2 pokok2 mcm wowwww. I looked down before the jump, It was when my adrenaline rush started and never stop until I made the jump hooorayyyyyyyyyy it was so much funnn. Tak cuak pon :P and the view was aahhh all greeennnn so refreshing. Ade 34 challenges for Extreme circuit. There were 5 of us. But one platform can only be occupied by 2-3person at one time. Kadang2 orang 1st dengan yg ke-5 hardly met each other. I hold the camera so I have to swap the sequence a few times to get everyone on the camera. hehe.

Flying Fox! Yang paling best paling fun-Level 1
Walk on a single rope- Level 2
When I googled, I thought this one would be the scariest. But surprisingly, this was the easiesttt of all the challenges. Everytime we finished one challenge, we always hoped the next one could be this, or the flying fox. hahaha sebab yang lain2 lgi payahhh 


No, this one was not that bad. Even ade missing wood plank in the middle. -Level 2

Tarzan - Level 3
This was the last challenge, ini mcm cuakk jugakk. You have to be tarzan. Hold the rope and jump to the next tube. Hold the rope was easy, Jump was not that hard buttttt the hardest part was to stop at the next tube macam susahnya nak bajett.You have another option to just walk on the rope at the side tapiii try la to do the tarzan bestt. hehe

 I didnt take any picture here sebab cuak sangat berpikir cmne nak jalan kahkahkah. And of all the 34 challenges, I should say this is the toughest. Nampak macam senang and I didn't expect this to be that scary, but it was. Sebab the tube was sooo unstable macam kne balancekan diri sndri. Pls get nervous for this one! hehe 

And group photo. We did it yeay!! Extreme Challenge Survival.

Cost: RM55 (extreme) + RM 3(park entry) + RM 3(glove) + RM5 (locker and bottle holder) + RM2 (mineral water) = RM 68 per pax.

So worth it! Klang Valley area. Dekat, tak payah carik accommodation, yang penting best! 
Skytrex Shah Alam is Highly recommended.
