Personal Recount Assignment 2 : A moment you enjoyed with your family (Part 2)

Our 2nd destination was the skyride and luge. After buying the tickets (which also had a long queue), we proceeded to the starting point, located at the foot of a mountain.

The skyride brought us to a hair-lifting 650m into the air! At the peak of the ride, we were shown a scintillating view of both islands and their beauty - Which is (in my opinion) magnified at night when the island would be lit up by tiny glittering lights. It was so high up that there was an imminent danger of losing our shoes!

Eventually, the skyride stopped at Imbiah Lookout, the top of a hill opposite Carlsberg Tower. From there, we rode in a "self-driving car system" in which riders control the speed by pushing a pair of handlebars back and forth. Despite it being "self-driving", controlling the car is easier said than done. The road was full of twists and turns, so I had to pay attention and watch my speed or risk crashing. Overall, it was quite an eye-opener - It serves as a memorable attraction as those who want to experience adrenaline without a car.

Recent fun attractions have made me grow to love Singapore and Sentosa - But of course I still prefer my home country, with its agile kangaroos and fluffy koalas. =D
