The 'drop' was quite high. You can hear people scream from far away. I not brave enough to try.frhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402261314300053806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-1148139690608319042006-05-20T23:41:00.000+08:002006-05-20T23:41:00.000+08:00Kenneth - Really?

The last time I visited Genting was more than a quarter century ago. No amusement park at that time, only leisurely pedal boat rides in the pond. I bet (pardon the pun) that the Giant Drop there isn't as high.<BR/><BR/>Chris - Look closely and you will see that the number of adults vs children on that ride were just about equal. But notice that the 2 Asians were grossly outnumbered by the Caucasians.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-1148083443273652732006-05-20T08:04:00.000+08:002006-05-20T08:04:00.000+08:00Woa Victor, that pic of the Giant Drop... it seems...Woa Victor, that pic of the Giant Drop... it seems most of the "daredevils" are kids? And here you are, a grown man, ranting and raving about how fearful and terrific the ride is. tsk..tsk...<BR/><BR/>When I was in Taiwan, my friends took me to an amusement park known as 六富村. They don't have that many sophisticated death-defying rides. But there was one ride that goes round and round 360 degrees. The worst ride I've taken, but I don't remember being as terrific as you did.Chris Simhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08760501651748435844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-1147958605059993212006-05-18T21:23:00.000+08:002006-05-18T21:23:00.000+08:00I think there is something like the Giant Drop at ...I think there is something like the Giant Drop at Genting.
