SkyRex & SkyDome - Don't Waste Your Time @ Langkawi Cable Car [Malaysia]

The purchase of the glass bottom gondola at Langkawi SkyCab also included SkyDome, SkyRex & 3D Art Langkawi and despite the severe lack of time; i persuaded my travel mates to check out the more interesting-sounding SkyRex & SkyDome.

SkyRex was said to "provide a dynamic and totally immersive experience that takes sensory and physical simulation to a whole new level" on the website. With 4D effects, it would smuggle us into the dangerous world of the dinosaurs! 

Doesn't it remind us of Transformers The Ride at Universal Studios Singapore?! And with a long queue in front of us, expectations were high! 

Wearing our 3D glasses; the 5-minute ride came to a ride and the conclusion among us was "what was that?"! Lousy graphics, terrible experience and i can't imagine i waited for more than 25 minutes to watch it.

SkyDome - offering "360 degrees of 3D image projections which easily covered your field of view. The sensation is lifted into next dimension and further enhanced with high definition (HD). It will definitely plunge you into an unforgettable experience". We were honestly keeping our fingers crossed on this after the disappointment with SkyRex.

Started operation on 1st September 2014, it's less than four years old when i visited last July and presumably would have better technology than the attractions in Universal Studios Singapore.

Shadow performance by the kids in front of us! You know what it felt like inside? Similar to the typhoon theatre at Resort World Sentosa

The show started similarly with the underwater scene that ended when a shark hit the "glass" of the submarine that we were apparently in. And immediately, the scene moved to the solar system and i was like "what the f" just happened! 

"Ridiculous", the word, continued to pop up in my head as we were teleported to the scene as above. Ares Xpress; what the hell was that?

A roller-coaster ride that continued for a few minutes before it suddenly cut off while we were still travelling on the "track"! You know what my travel mate commented right after the ride?

Greatest joke of the day! Now, you have been warned. Time spent overseas is incredibly valuable; hence, please don't waste them on SkyRex SkyDome
