RIPLEY'S ADVENTURELAND - JURASSIC RESEARCH CENTER - PART 01

Assalamualaikum.

Lepas spend time di Skytropolis Indoor Theme Park di Level 1 dalam bangunan First World Plaza ini, saya naik ke Level 4 pula untuk ke Ripley's Adventureland. 

Di pintu masuk Ripley's Adventureland ini pengunjung akan disambut oleh dua patung gajah berperisai bersaiz sebenar dengan telinga-telinga besar mereka flapping animatronically 😃. 

Dikatakan Ripley's Adventureland ini adalah salah satu 'the most adventurous adventure land' yang ada di Genting Highlands. Lokasinya adalah di Tingkat 4, Sky Avenue, First World Plaza, Genting Highlands. Di dalamnya ada beberapa tarikan yang menarik seperti Jurassic Research Center, Ripley's Believe It or Not Odditorium, Zombie Outbreak, The Infinity Room and 4D Trick Art.

Electric animal rides pun ada juga di sini for the kids. Yang ini dinosaurs rides, the mighty Centrosaurus 😃.

Selain Centrosaurus, juga ada gajah, dinosaur hijau dan Stitch kelabu 😃.

Ada macam-macam arcade games dan attractions lain for the small ones di sini. Ada Dragon Regatta, a dinosaur merry-go-round. 

Kalau nak naik electric animal ride yang ada animatronics, bolehlah tunggang Velociraptor ini.

Jom beli tiket di Trojan Horse ini. 

Ripley's Adventureland Ticket Counter. 

Ada promotions masa tu. RM95.00 untuk 5 attractions. Kalau tak nak pergi to all 5, boleh beli tiket untuk single attraction for RM38.00 each. Saya beli yang untuk 5, the Ripley's Adventure Pass. Masa tu sudah pun pukul 3:45 petang, so saya bajetlah masa dan pergi je explore mana yang sempat. 

Ini pamphlets Ripley's Adventureland. Among the major attractions are Ripley’s Believe It or Not Odditorium, Zombie Outbreak and Jurassic Research Center.

These are other attractions in Ripley's Adventureland.

A wishing well and arcade games.

Toy shop. 

Tak tahu gelanggang apa ini. May be miniature bumper car ride for children.

Healing Touch, a wellness studio.     

This is Jungle Gym. Jungle Gym is an interactive playground for children with slides, games and even a mini cinema. 

Zombie Outbreak! provides scares in a simulation of the zombie apocalypse in a mock city setting. 

The stench of rotting flesh in the air catches your attention, but not before they catch you. Beware of the Zombie Outbreak! Just when you thought you could seek shelter in that abandoned house, think again! You can hide but the undead already have your scent and are seeking you out. Hold your breath or they'll hear you! Are you ready to run for your life?

Saya nak masuk tapi masa tu tiada pula staff/attendant. Dekat 10 minit juga menunggu. Since I did not have much time, saya pergilah ke attraction lain dulu.

Next to the Zombie Outbreak is Jurassic Research Center. So ke situlah saya.

Jurassic Research Center features a study of prehistoric life with a collection of dinosaur statues, fossils and skeletons. Current scientific consensus places the origin of dinosaurs at between 231 and 243 million years right up till 66 million years ago. Their past existence have inspired endless movies, books and art forms. People will always love dinosaurs for the simple reason that they are not around anymore.

We combine entertainment with education in a variety of informative exhibits and displays for both children and adults. Meet and frolic with these creatures from millions of years ago and find out how they used to roam the Earth. Come and discover the enthralling realm of dinosaurs first-hand only in Jurassic Research Center, in Ripley’s Adventureland.

Waaa.. terkagum saya sekejap. Ingatkan attraction ini biasa-biasa saja, tapi rupanya begitu epik sekali! Siap ada hutan Jurassic! Tapi at the same time rasa macam seram pulak sebab suasana kelam dan kedengaran pula bunyi dinasour menjerit/mengaum 😄😅. Eh... dinosour 'men' apa ya? Saya baca scientists haven't been able to figure out the noises dinosaurs actually made when they roamed the earth.

In Jurassic Research Center, visitors can travel back in time to when dinosaurs ruled the Earth and uncover the mysteries of the planet’s prehistoric past. 

Wah.... look at those dinosaurs! So many of them! 😃 Di Jurassic Research Center ini ada lebih dari 200 dinosaurs that were brought back to 'life' dengan menggunakan teknologi animatronik terkini. Nampak tak kepala dinosaour yang paling depan dalam foto di bawah ini tidak fokus dan blur. Itu sebab kepalanya sedang bergerak-gerak 😃.

Dan yang menjadikan attraction ini lebih hebat lagi adalah dinosaurs di sini semuanya adalah bersaiz sebenar! Besar sungguh body dinosours ini dengan leher panjang sampai kepala nak mencecah siling center ini. I think those are either Ultrasaurus or Brachiosaurus. Terasa macam berada dalam scene from the Jurassic Park movies pulak 😄.

Di sebelah sana pun ada dinosaurs. Kita jalan di sebelah sini dulu. 

Banyaknya dinosaurs! Ter'Oooo.. Aaaa.. Oooo.. Aaaa..' saya dibuatnya.... hihi 😄.

Kepala bergerak-gerak dan berbunyi macam dalam filem Jurassic Park tu lah 😃.

Seram saya tengok dinosaur ini!

Namanya Gigantoraptor. A feathered dinosaur species I reckon. 

Informasi tentang dinosours turut dipamerkan. Nice! Ini maklumat tentang Gigantoraptor. 

Ini pula maklumat tentang Brachiosaurus.

Hihi... ada reminder board kata 'Do not sit on dinosaurs' 😄. May be there were incidents overenthusiastic kids yang seronok sangat tengok semua dinosaurs ni dan nak ditunggangnya 😆.

And I must say the lightings are rather excellent too. I think they created that dramatic Jurassic jungle atmosphere or feel quite nicely. Not that I know how's that actually like lah... hihi 😄.

Stegosaurus.

Another hairy one. This one is even more creepy! They purposely made the eyes glow like that! 😅

It's a Deinonychus.
