As an NTUC member, one is entitled to a free entry to both Escape theme park and Wild Wild Wet during the birthday month. Being a bargain hunter, I just dont wish to let this chance slipped by.. Hence, I cooked up the excuse that its Dear's birthday and "tricked" him to go with me... keke... Escape usual admission price is $17.70 for adult and $14.70 for NTUC member. Using my usual bargain sense, I managed to purchase a theme park ticket from another forummer at only $8. keke..As for Wild Wild Wet, the usual ticket price is $13.80 and $10.80 for NTUC member. As I did not manage to meet the forummer for the purchase of another $8 ticket, we bought it at the member's price. Still cheap...
Leaving home for downtown east.... (Long journey there....)
Finally reached. Dear had to work that day so we only managed to reach at around 3.00+pm.
First Stop: Escape Theme Park
P.S: Dear had wanted to go to Wild Wild Wet first. As there were certain rides in Wild Wild Wet that I am scared of playing, I am afraid that there might not be much choices left to play. Hence, Dear accompanied me to Escape first. keke...
Most of the rides in Escape were rather kiddy, some of the better rides such as Wet and Wild, Revolution and Rainbow were closed for maintainence (as always....). That leaves us with not much choices... Despite having 15 attractions in the theme park, we only played a few. My last trip to Escape was during Poly days, it was rather boring... Unconvinced I decided to try it again.. Conclusion: Still boring...
The Haunted House
The haunted house is more suitable in scaring children. The place was adorned with dark lightings, shredded black clothes and "so called ghosts" made of unscary statues which move in an unrealistic manner. There were no ghosts wails nor anything to scare you. As it is a walk through gallery, I just quickly breezed my way through (just in case, something pop out unknowingly..)... Dear was pretty upset with me for walking so fast. He said that he had not even take a proper look at the exhibits.. Neither did we stay to watch the exhibits move.. haha.. We were so fast, we completed the tour in about 5 minutes or lesser...
The Kite Flyer
The family coaster is rather mild, very suitable for young children. But super no kick for young adults.
Being a super scaredy "mouse" with a "weak" heart, I do not dare take on the challenge of exhilarating rides such as the inverter. Poor Dear had to go on board himself.. Well, not too bad either, as I could be his photographer and capture his smiley face despite the thing sending him upside down.
Red Baron
Super bored during the ride....
There were many other stuffs to play such as the Flipper, Bumper Boats, Viking (too exciting for me), Ferris Wheel, Daytona (super long queue as usual + how to play in flip flops...), etc. (Most of the games played in Genting previously.) We decided to leave Escape for Wild Wild Wet instead. We were here for about 1hr+..
Second Stop: Get Wet & Wild @ Wild Wild Wet
Thinking that wild, wild wet would be boring.. like the one at Afamosa previously, I didnt really bear high hopes for it. But after being disappointed by the trip at Escape, I decided that I must make this fun... Let's get change first.... Com'on...
Okie.. Time to get into the water and have some fun!!!
There are about 9 attractions here. Some belongs to the children's categories, some too exciting for us and some well.... (not enought time lah.. only 1.5hrs to cover the park, somemore.. i suggested go Escape... so some time wasted there...)
Yakult's Professor Playground (A little like Waterworks of Science Centre)
Can't wait to get into the pool......
WAHHHHHHH.......
I am trying.....
Can't take picture whilst riding... too dangerous... The thing is tricker than we thought.. You are being supported by tall thin pillars at the bottom and you have to cycle your way through manually.. There were times whereby the thing jerk a little when we were almost reaching the ending point.. Rather scary.. Dont even dare to look directly down...
P.S: Never wear non waterproof mascara to wild wild wet. Or you will end up looking like me, one eye Panda...
All nice and pretty now... Lets get dinner.. The new extension of down town east houses quite a number of F&B outlets. We looked from level 1 to level 4. Guess what we eat in the end?? Well.. Superdog on level 4.A little disappointed as the "Superdog" was not as big as the name sounds... The size were rather small. We got a combo meal (supposedly for 3 persons), which had a fish burger, a super dog, a fish and chips, a passionfruit tea and a yoghurt drink at $18.90. Quite expensive huh.. and despite the food, we were just satisfiably full only.... Carl's Junior are more generous with thier serving size...
Enjoying the view of the indoor ferris wheel whilst waiting for the food. If you are wondering the price of the ferris wheel, its $6.50 per person.. Not very cheap huh...
Time to go home... Final Cam-whore shot
