metrock Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 This is a 1st in a series of photo trip reports. My 1st stop is at Sunway Lagoon Resort just outside of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. For a video of this park, head over to: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22315 Next Stop: Somewhere in the Middle East. For those of you that have never seen a 7 Eleven, I leave you with this. Now go slap yourself. Oh look its a powered coaster. No credit here! Oh crud, I'm only half way back and I really got to pee. Well, there is a wave pool right below me... Sorta reminds me of Big Thunder. Except this one didn't crash. Hey loook Magic Mountain. This is what we call theming! No parking lot here! Why did I decide to walk across the bridge? Now I have to walk back. Sooo long! Oh crap, thats a long bridge. The parks claim is that its the world's longest pedestrian briidge at 1404 feet long. A tunnel and the 1st hill after the 1st drop. Its the 1st drop. Weeeee!!!!! Come on, PLEASE visit our park! Its really cool and stuff! I still have no idea why this poster was there. If you cut in line, this is where you get to think about your mistake. This wave pool is large. But its missing one thing. Oh yeah, waves. The other half has roller coasters and flat rides. The dude in the back is about to get some awesome airtime. Half of the park features water stuff. Like slides. This is the backside of the hotel, facing the parrk. What an awesome use of the land. One of the nicest hotels I have ever seen. This is what I call a hotel. I belive people pay to sleep here....among other things. Sunway Lagoon is a family resort. Bring the kids! And a shot gun! This is what happens when the MGM Grand and the Luxor have un-protected sex. Wear your condoms kids! Welcome To Sunway Lagoon Resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Great stuff! I love seeing photos of parks like this. Elissa and I have been looking into doing some parks in other Asian countries and I think this is going to make the list! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollermonkey Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Robb, If you want, I can give you my itinerary for Malaysia that allows you to get every credit in the country without rushing in less than 48 hours. I'm always happy to help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyjdnb Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 us here in sydney dont like sunway one bit. They were the bas$ards that closed down Wonderland. Yes they were being clever capitalists, and made a hell of a lot of money on the sale of the prime real estate, but they left us Theme park-less.

Paul_Hollibone Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Looks like a nice park, all things considered. Was the "360" degree intamin pirate ship there? Oh nice pics by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mboy81 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Did anyone notice the supports on the coaster that didn't touch the track? What's that for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shockwave Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Great PTR! I didn't think the park had much after it sold Magnum Force, but I was totally wrong! -Tom "Dreier Looping was here too" Hardwick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they were being clever capitalists, and made a hell of a lot of money on the sale of the prime real estate, but they left us Theme park-less. I thought Wonderland was having problems like....no one was going to it??? If it wasn't profitable, I can totally understand why they would sell it. Us coaster enthusaists might not like it, but I can't see any good business keeping a park open that isn't making money. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you liked the pictures. The Intamin pirate ship might have been there. But I dont think it opened until Aug. I was there in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollermonkey Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I was there in December. I don't think the pirate ship was open yet. There was construction inside the park and outside the front gate. I'll check my park map later today if I can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
