Wild Wild Wet

An outing a long ago to blog.

One Sunday evening 2 young kids with free tickets to Wild Wild Wet decided to have some water fun at Downtown East.

This water theme park is an adventure of rides and structures for kids.

Watch the big bucket at the top.

When water fills up, it tips over and everyone get a big shower.

I feel thoroughly cleansed.

The big boychild has fun too..

This is the Tsunami ride, however the waves only come every 3hrs or so and only lasts for 30 seconds. At least that’s how long we felt it was, sitting in the floating rings waiting for a wave to hit.

Interesting Singaporean names for rides, basically slide rides ending with humans popping out from a hole.

This is called the Shiok River. A lazy river with too many people. Just sit in a float, let the generated currents push you along and get a slight headache at the end of it.

The river is a rather long ride covering most of the land area for the theme park.

People from outside the shiok river may shoot water at you. Not that you were dry in the 1st place..

Seems quite Shiok for the large kid in orange.

Highlight of the park and the most thrilling ride of all

Freefall for two down that slope…

It’s the heart-leap-out-of-your-mouth-experience, especially for the one facing downwards. The one on the opposite merely stays in the leaning back position, less terrifying. Poor me who chose to be the former position for our 1st try.

For the romantics or the borings, whichever way you choose to view it, take a slow bicycle ride along the elevated track to enjoy the view.

Sidenote: I can’t help noticing there are so many tummies flopping everywhere. Men, please buckup!!!

No better way to end water sports but with a quiet evening BBQ.

Portion just for two.

The lady cooks while the man does what he does best.

Haha…pictures can be deceiving. Cos it was the poor guy who dirtied his hands setting the fire and cooking the food all the way while I pose for picture.

Nice to have a free chalet for the evening with leftover meat, but I still prefer restaurant dining, least I don’t get a 2week long sore throat/cough followed by pulling a rib muscle from coughing too vigorously.
