Dresser's Li'l Adventure in Skytrex Theme Park

Dresser decided that it should bring the tarzans and janes in all of us on the 11-March-09.

It was a theme park in Shah Alam filled with high ropes activities. Surprisingly though, we got to know about this place from my VP. I never knew this place existed.
We started out with lunch which was KFC :o) for the pure cavemen meat eaters before we take on the ropes. I took my own lunch as i was vegetarian. I am beginning to realize most of the company activities are held on wednesdays, the day i am vegetarian :o(
Skytrex adventure theme park was opened 2 years back. Its run by this french dude, Julien Repelin who is actually a software engineer who left the office lifestyle to pursue his passion. Seriously a nice guy.
What would one expect in this?
First was the trial version - walking on the wooden planks, rope + net and firefox.

Then you proceed to the real adventure, the REAL DEAL.
You are basically suspended at about 17 meters above the ground. Basically you need to move from one tree to another with all sorts of challenges in between.
The entire course takes around 1 and 1/2 hours to complete - depending on your physical fitness and agility!

Conculsion, the whole thing is really safe as long as you know how to use your safety harness and pulley. Of course, they would teach you how to use your safety harness. Not all of us do this everyday :o)
