Hello there. I am Terry and I am a full-time undergraduate based in Singapore. I take photos, write a blog and design websites.

And no, I'm not a teddy bear.

Getting On Asia’s One And Only Flying Coaster

Well, dont throw eggs at me after reading this post… because I’m going to enjoy three-days of fun at Genting Highland, starting from today!

Once I step my foot on the exciting Genting Highland Theme Park, let me tell you, I’ll go totally wild. I will hop on the most nauseating, most horrible rides first, such as the Corkscrew, Cyclone, Rolling Thunder Mine Train, Solero Space Shot and last but not least, the newest and only Flying Roller Coaster in Asia!


The Asia’s one and only Flying Roller Coaster is there!

Well, this roller coaster is Genting Highland Theme Park’s new ride, a unique hang-gliding roller coaster, designed by renowned coaster designer Werner Stengel and manufactured by Zamperla of Italy. It gives thrill-seekers the incredible sensation of zero gravity, together with the realistic effect of flying.

The ride lifts the flyer to a height of 20 meters and releases the flyer to a hang gliding flying experience over 391 meters of the track length, with a maximum speed of 25.7 mph.

The unique positioning of the passengers – four riders “fly” together, side by side – is a new way of experiencing drops, spirals and swooping turns from the “front seat.” The flyer will experience a constant change of acceleration throughout from negative 1G to 3.6G on the vertical movements and 1G on a lateral movement.

Looks damn cool, right? I’m surely going on it this time! Remember to try it out when you get the chance to go to Genting Highlands! Oh by the way, you can get more of those pictures from here, and read more about this exciting flying coaster here!

Mom is screaming downstairs, wanting me to shift the luggage up the car. So I got to leave my blog un-updated for 1 days (the day after tomorrow). Will be up the beatiful highland resort for 3 days and 2 nights =)

Bye!

Your name is required. Why?

  • So that I can address you personally (which I'm more than happy to do).
  • Everyone loves their name to be called, right? Nobody wants to be referred to as 'a certain someone' or Mr X (X-Men members aside).
  • If your post too much spam, your name will be imprinted on a personalised voodoo doll, completely free of charge. I'm just joking!

Your email is needed. Why?

  • Your email is, and will, never be given out to any third party under any conditions (except for people sneaking up behind me when I'm on WP admin).
  • So that I can contact you personally in case of certain issues that I wish to address personally.
  • If you post too much spam, I'll email the same spam you've posted 10 times back to you, completely free of charge.

You can always leave a personal URL behind

  • It can be anything - most people put their blog URL, their facebook page, their Twitter URL, their MySpace or etc.
  • I give love back by saying NO to no-follow. All of your webbie links are dofollows instead.

Twitter. Twitter. Twitter.

  • What is Twitter?: Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 bytes in length.

Hello Easter Egg hunter! You've discovered the magic of the Konami Code!

Yea. You probably know what the Konami code is before getting to this page. So now what? Here is a randomised YouTube video on my favourites list... which includes Rickroll, if you're luck enough to get it.

You are currently watching New Soul by Yael Naim. Loving it? You can even watch the video in its full screen glory :)
