I never thought that I can do this when I stepped back in Cebu. Doing it is like a suicide to me especially I just got like 70% recovery after an accident. And besides, I thought they wouldn't allow me for my condition and also thinking about the cost. But I just did.
The world's 1st edge coaster is at the 38th floor of the Crown Regency Hotel and Towers in Cebu, Philippines. And from the moment you'll see the building outside, you'll love the lights.
First, to enter, you must pay their entrance fee at the 36th floor of the building. During our time, we paid 450 php for 2 people and that covers a snack good for one person with bottomless iced tea. Then we paid 600 each, good for an edge coaster ride and a sky walk. Yeah right, they, too, has a Sky Walk and it's the Philippines 1st.
I think the rates vary from time to time. I have a friend and she told me, they paid 1000 php for edge coaster and sky walk. Yes, they've got promos, as far as I know. And I would suggest you go with bunch of friends or companions, and maybe they've go a package for that. And by the way, there is this waiver to sign first.
It really cost a lot for a 5 minutes (something like that) tough ride and around 1o minutes thrilling walk, but the experience is worth it. And once you have tried it, you want to do it again. It's like you've conquered your fear.
So, we did the SkyWalk Extreme 1st. At first my aunt, who's connected in medical field, did not allow me to do the Sky Walk because of the harness that will be wrapped around each of my two legs. Later on, they called me and said that it will be okay, just not to compress it too much.
That orange suit in the pic, you've got to wear it. Then if you're not wearing closed shoes, which is required, you can borrow shoes to them for free. You just have to buy a pair of socks at their counter worth 20 php.
Before the walk, our guide taught us how to wear the gear and gave us some instructions. There also instructions shown in their T.V. while you are waiting for your turn.
The first steps I took, it's a breath taking experience. It's maybe because the floor for the first steps is a glass, looking down is a breath taking, I'll tell you that. It was thrilling and kinda scary. I feel like I want to go back. You can scream if you want. And I have to, it helps. It's a lot of fun. Eventually, after a few distances, you'll get used to it. You'll love to stay there for long and see the city's panorama, the lights, and feel the breeze and take pictures. However, you are not allowed to bring cameras during the walk. They have professional photographers and if you want to copy the pictures and put it on a CD, the fee will be 1000 php. It's so expensive, we paid 2000 php in all for the sky walk and edge coaster. However, I was spared, thanks, the oldies paid it.
If you want to save, you can take the Edge Coaster randomly, and then asked your companions to take a picture for you, then do the same thing in return. So, you just have to pay for the sky walk photos for 1000 php, at least, if you want a copy.
On the other hand, the Edge Coaster, I think, for me is more of like thrilling. This edge coaster has a tilt control that can go as far as 55 degrees. However, there will be an automatic tilt in the beginning of the ride. It sounds crazy. Why it has to be in the beginning? They really make it sure you can feel the thrill and adventure. I was with my uncle during the ride, him taking the control and he tilted it all the way. I was just shouting. And I swear something. It was too embarrassing. The ride ended too soon. And I feel like I want to do it again.
Riding and walking into such things is like a suicide maybe for someone who's just been into an accident. But it's not really like that, doing it is more like of living your life. I thought, yeah right, accidents happen unexpectedly and swiftly, so why be afraid? Why not take the chance? Either take that sky experience adventure or never.
So when you get the chance, try this. It's a real adventure and fun!
