WHO says Singapore is boring?
In this eight-part series, The New Paper investigates the places and activities that are available here to get the blood pumping.
|
Players can form teams to play Speedball, a competitive sport where players faceoff in a space filled with inflatable "bunkers". And it's not just "for the boys".
|
|
|
ClimbMax, one of the stations at the MegaZip Adventure Park on Sentosa, is an aerial obstacle course that requires a mix of balance, strength and endurance. It's terrifying, but ridiculously exciting.
|
|
|
If skydiving is on your bucket list, here's your chance to cross it off the list without having to jump out of a plane. You can do it at iFly, Singapore's first and only indoor skydiving facility.
|
|
|
You don't have to be a trained acrobat to attempt The Flying Trapeze at Sentosa, which has been there since 2003. All you need is adrenaline, a fat dose of courage and some quick training to into the swing of things.
|
|
|
Members of the public can take to the race track at Kartright Speedway, the only permanent, competition-length karting track in Singapore.
|
|
|
Located at the Civil Service Club along Tessensohn Road, there are indoor climbing walls 9m high, a towering 15m outdoor wall and an indoor bouldering gym with various styles of rock climbing, so climbers never get bored. Top-rope climbing is the most popular among beginners and children.
|
|
|
Whether you want the thrills or just a good workout, wakeboarding's going to give you the best of both worlds.
|
|
|
Members of the public can fire live weapons at the shooting centre run by the Singapore Gun Club (SGC). Adrenaline is felt in a whole different way - it comes from handling an actual gun - gunpowder, ammunition and all.
