SKYWALK EXTREME: For Acrophobics Also


 



 These photos were taken when we went to the Crown
Regency Hotel for the Sky Experience Adventure - the Skywalk  Extreme and the Edge Coaster Ride.

The Skywalk Extreme is located at the 37th floor of the Crown Regency Hotel.  (I wonder if it's the tallest hotel structure in the country.)  It is simply a walking around the edge of the building on a platform.   As usual, I was a little scared and nervous at first.  Hehe.. who wouldn't be?  That's on the 37th Floor?!
There was a short orientation first before the walk and we were made to securely strap on a safety harness.  The guides were very friendly.  They pointed to us the different landmarks of the city.  It was really a different kind of high. Breathtaking!!  Awesome experience - especially if shared with someone special.  ;) The 360- degree view walk around the building took 20 minutes.  Shempre there were photo ops.  We were made to sit on the edge of the platform while our legs were dangling on air, wave our arms while one leg was standing near the ledge.. Whatever pose you like , pwede!  Hahahahah!  Rumampa talaga eh.  There was an area where we had to walk on a small strip of platform made of glass and then the guides dared us to look down -- 37 floors below.  Kakalula!!  You really have to try this! Next time, I'll write about the Edge Coaster Ride naman.  :)

Oh my, I wouldn't dare. Takot ako sa ganito ka-extreme. You know about star city? Rides there are considered minimal by others, but I wouldn't dare riding their surf ride. Tried the wild river before and I swear not to do it again. Ironic of me dreaming to go parachute-sailing haha... thanks for visiting my blog again :)
