Guess it was damn long since I visited an amusement park. Think I'm quite a noob in trying thrill rides, so it was quite an experience for me to try out some of the rides they had.
Yes, yes..I'm such a noob.
In the end, we tried out 2 rides - the Euro Wheel & the Top-Gun.
The Euro Wheel was your usual Ferris Wheel, albeit the fact that the scenary of Bishan isn't picturesque. The ride consisted of several oscillations - how many, I don't know. The ride started to feel more like a chore when we were in our 4th or 5th round. Talk about novelty wearing off man.
Next up was the Top-Gun. Looking at it, I thought the ride was sort of a modified Viking. But when it came to the level of thrill, this totally beats the Viking. I wasn't expecting much from the ride at first. But when the ride started, we realised that how loosely we were strapped to the seat. We felt as if the safety barriers were coming off when we were swung vertically and upside down. It felt like we were hapless clothes being churned around in a washing machine. Dear was practically sliding out from her seat, and it forced her to stem her feet on the floor of the carriage. Think it was really pretty traumatic with all the safety barriers seeming to be give way and we were holding onto anything within our grasps.
Sorry for the unpleasant experience you had to go through, dear.
