There an ongoing online auction to bid the first plunge.
Calling all adrenaline junkies out there, come August, there’ll be more to Singapore that just the reverse bungee at Clarke Quay and Universal Studios to get your heart pounding.
Construction has begun for our first bungy tower – which is part of a 2,500 square metre adventure playground set up by AJ Hackett. If you’re all about sky diving, bungee jumping…you would have definitely heard of this New Zealander who popularised the extreme sport of bungee jumping!
The playground is definitely not for the faint-hearted – it will feature a 50m custom-built tower, two high jump decks and a 40m long vertical skywalk. Imagine a high-elements course of sorts, only slightly more nerve-wrecking. We’ve rounded up the range of activities you can soon tick off your bucket list.
Bungee Jumping
Of course, if you’re a true thrill-seeker, this main attraction should be the first activity you run to when you get here. You no longer have to travel all the way to Dubai just to experience something like this.
There’s also a 3.5m deep pool of water to greet you at the bottom, so you will definitely get your head wet – it’s a good wake-up call for those who happen to pass out in the middle of the jump.
Offering several thrilling jump styles, this 50m high Bungy Tower now has online auction running, where interested participants can bid to be among the first to take the plunge, and to possibly test it out. It’s a limited number of tickets, so fastest fingers first!
Giant Swings
Great for those who need a hand to hold for moral support, these swings allow up to three friends to enjoy the thrill together. It will also house the world’s first Duo Giant Swings, where two groups can race towards the ground at a speed of more than 100km/h!
If you’re brave enough to keep your eyes open throughout, you’ll get a bird’s eye view of Siloso beach 40m above ground.
Skybridge
For something more manageable, give this one a go. It’s the only activity that doesn’t need a harnessing system – perfect for those who prefer their feet firmly on the ground.
Take your family outings to the next level by bringing them here for an afternoon stroll and admire the scenic Siloso Beach at the same time. It’s 47m above ground, so we urge those with a fear of heights to stay away.
Fancy an ice-cold beer to round off your experience? Head to the Sundowner Deck or the open-air bridge which will let you take in sights of jumpers leaping off the tower.
Vertical Skywalk
Fans of abseiling, try the Vertical Skywalk, which lets you walk vertically 44m down the tower. Apparently a system used by military and uniformed forces for training, now the average Joe also has a chance to try it out.
It’s also the first AJ Hackett site to house this skywalk, so if you’re too afraid to attempt, fret not, this can take up to 3 people at any one time.
