ESCAPE Ipoh awaits with childhood nostalgic adventures

-

IPOH: A visit to a theme park promises a variety of exciting and thrilling activities, which challenge physical endurance while providing the ideal platform to test one’s adrenaline levels with a range of extreme sports.

For those who are looking for something unique, one of the latest tourist attraction­s in Ipoh, the Nature Inspiratio­nal Park (ESCAPE) Ipoh, is poised to open its doors to visitors soon, setting it apart from convention­al theme parks.

Located about 30km from here, this 56-hectare park offers more than 15 extreme activities and is suitable for all ages.

It will definitely not just be a paradise for fans of extreme sports, but also for those who yearn for the nostalgia of village life, complement­ed by the greenery of the oil palm plantation­s.

This theme park combines extreme sports with traditiona­l games, creating a new level of fun.

Reminiscen­t of childhood joy, a wave of exhilarati­on swept over a group of media personnel as they were given the chance to immerse themselves in various adrenaline­pumping activities at the Media Explore ESCAPE TT5 recently.

The ‘extreme monkey business’ (strapped onto a rope and going through an obstacle course, while hanging way up in the air) activity offered at the theme park includes elements of ‘lompat tikus’ (games testing one’s ability to run, jump and crawl), known to be popular with children, as well as various other extreme games, such as the ‘gecko tower’, the ‘flying lemur’, the ‘slingshot’, the ‘jumping jack’, the ‘aerobat’, boat rides and the ‘banana flip’.

Menteri Besar Incorporat­ed (MB Inc) chief executive officer Anuar Zainal Abidin said these extreme activities emphasised the value of traditiona­l games and take visitors back to the nostalgic moments of their childhood.
