Legoland Malaysia (Part 1)

We booked our tickets earlier this year because this trip was supposed to be a celebration for Ashrie's "single-daughterhood". Apparently, Jane could not travel any more as her pregnancy became very sensitive in the final trimester. So we rescheduled it to a later date. It's also good that Jane can enjoy the rides as well and not just look after the bags and be a photographer.

Since my sister-in-law was here for a month to help us, we grabbed the opportunity to be away for a day and leave Baby Lia in her able hands.

So it's just Me&MyGirls sans Lia headed to Legoland Malaysia. Hey, that rhymes!

We bought our coach tickets from WTS Travel. I chose them because they have a branch in Causeway Point which is just a walking distance away from our place. Turned out, I made a right choice because we had no problems with regards to transport. 

I think having chosen a non-peak date was the start of the streak of good things that day. The immigration process was a breeze, vehicular traffic was A-okay (from Singapore Flyer to Legoland Malaysia in more or less than 2 hours was not bad at all). And to visit a theme park that is not crowded was really delightful to say the least.


When we reached the park, it was about 11 AM, we headed to the ticket counters to pay the reschedule fee. Nobody's in line! We went in and the park was not packed. Actually, it was unexpected and a very pleasant surprise. I'm sure it's a different story altogether during weekends and holidays.


We wasted no time and went on our first ride. It was a roller coaster! We were hesitant at first but did it anyway. If we will not try the rides then there's no sense of being there, right? It was exhilarating! It's not just our first ride of the day but also our first time to be in a roller coaster. Ashrie had the shock of her life and said she would never ride the Project X ever again. 

 
There was a photo booth at the exit (actually almost every ride has a photo booth and there were park photographers all over the place). We decided to buy our photo. A moment of undeniable courage and being adventurous needs to be immortalized. Take a look, we bought this for $20 SGD but our reactions are priceless!


Here's a video on how it's like to be on that ride:


After that extreme adventure, all the rest seems easier and we took our time to try almost all of the rides. Jane and Ashrie took on the Wave Racers and the Twister then Ashrie and I did a relaxing Boat Ride.


We walked through MiniLand.


Ashrie did the Junior Driving School. She even got her driver’s license there. After that, we headed for lunch. 


Will we conquer the so called "Scariest Ride in Legoland Malaysia"? Will Ashrie ever ride a roller coaster again? Answers to these and more on the second leg of our Legoland Malaysia adventure.

Stay tuned for Part Two.
