Eye On Malaysia Kuala Lumpur

Eye on Malaysia Kuala Lumpur

The Eye on Malaysia is a giant ferris wheel that allows you to experience a 360-degree panoramic view of Kuala Lumpur, and over 20 km of its surroundings for about 15-minute. Among the Kuala Lumpur structures visible from the eye are the KL Tower, Istana Budaya, Petronas Twin Towers and even Genting Highland!

The 60 metre structure, comprise of 42 air-conditioned gondolas which can each accommodate eight people, one of it will be for the VIP while another two will be reserved for the disabled. The VIP Gondola is complete with leather seats, DVD player, plasma screen, fridge and glass flooring. It's quite similar to the London Eye. The Eye on Malaysia is the 3rd super giant wheel after that in London and Japan, and it is said to be the tallest portable observation wheel in the world. The giant ferris wheel is located at Titiwangsa Lake Gardens, Kuala Lumpur.

The ferris wheel is hot like a sizzling hot plate! Many people are wishing to take a ride and believe me, they don't care about the crowd, the long queue or the weather! We haven't yet have the time to personally check it out but I did watch the Eye on Malaysia Launch on TV1 and it was really cool with lots of fireworks display. There was also a concert held during the eye's opening ceremony featuring Mawi, Anita Sarawak, Micheal Wong, Sheila Majid.

A friend told me that the traffic was really bad and finding a parking spot is not easy. You may be spending 30-60 minutes circling around for getting a parking. So... why not taking the KL Hop-On Hop-Off Bus and forget all the hassle? After visiting the Eye on Malaysia and the Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens, you can still use the bus ticket to visit other interesting places in Kuala Lumpur.

Is it safe? According to its operator and owner, the Eye on Malaysia has been designed according to the highest safety standard in the world. The 400 tonne ferris wheel was built using a combination of technologies from Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands and the company would ensure that the safety of the public is given the top priority.

If you visit the Titiwangsa Lake Gardens at night, don't miss the International WaterSky Spectacular which runs at night with exciting shows commencing at 8pm daily. It features jet and water ski stunts and close proximity pyrotechnics to create a truly spectacular experience.

There is also the Theatre of the Waters premiere on 1 February 2007 and will continue to be screened each night throughout the year. You can also see the Art of Fireworks show runs every night from Saturday 6 January to Saturday 3 February 2007.

You can enjoy a ride on the ferris wheel for RM15 (adult) and RM8 for children. It's not too expensive for a chance to view the beautiful KL skyline from 60 meters high, don't you agree?

The tickets are available at the sales counter in the Titiwangsa Lake Gardens. It costs RM15 for adults and RM8 for children aged 3 to 12 and senior citizens. The operating hours for the Eye on Malaysia are from 10am to 10pm daily.
