Cosmo's World Theme Park - Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
Posted: Tue Jul 06, 2010 11:00 pm
Hi all,
Well I have temporarily escaped the cold Melbourne winter, and have travelled to Kuala Lumpur Malaysia (work - not holiday).
Anyway, I did some research prior to travelling, and found an indoor amusement park within a MASSIVE shopping complex. It's called Cosmo's World Theme Park http://www.timessquarekl.com/themepark.
Went down there after work 2day - it was OK with a selction of 6 "Major" RIdes and plenty of kids rides. My main aim was to ride the Space Odyssey Coaster (built by INTAMIN AG), which I did 3 times. It was pretty cool with 3 inversions, but not break-neck speed (I think around 70km top speed). Bit boring after the 3rd time.I guess having been to West Edmonton mall a few years back and riding the indoor Mindbender coaster, well I doubt any indoor shopping complex coaster will come close! Funny - they claim Spacew Odyssey is the biggest indoor coaster in the world, but I reckon Mindbender craps on it,
Other rides there:
- "Spinning Orbit", a slightly different Condor by Huss Rides
- "DNA Mixer", a Top Spin ride by Huss Rides
- "Ooort's Express", a Superbob ride
- "Dizzy Izzy", a Schwarzkopf Monster II-type Octopus ride
- "Space Attack", this huge pendulum like double Kamikaze ride, but taller and faster.
I have taken some pics, but not yet available. For a sneak pic of Space Odyssey, try http://www.rcdb.com/1607.htm?p=0
Verdict - it killed a few hours that otherwise would have been spent in hotel room. Is it worth a look? Sure - if you are in town, but I wouldn't fly all the way over there for a theme park holiday,,,Value? - Good. 38 Malaysia ringits (= about 15 Oz bucks for unlimited rides)
Cheers,
