Genting Skyway, Malaysia
From series “The Longest Ski-Lifts and Cable Trams in the World”
The amazing city of Genting in Malaysia is well known to fans of gambling, thrill rides, stylish bars and nightclubs. Genting is located in a mountainous area at an altitude of 2,000 meters above sea level. The easiest way to get to this unique entertainment complex is to use the fastest gondola lift in the world, Genting Skyway. Its lower station is located in the small village of Kuala Kubu Baru.
The length of the cable is 3,380 meters; passengers can reach the bustling entertainment complex in just 11 minutes. Speed of movement is 6 m/s, which is a real world record. Opening of this gondola lift took place February 21, 1997. The significant portion of the route passes over the spectacular jungle, so trips are incredibly popular among gamblers and guests of Genting hotels, as well as fans of unusual entertainment. A ride on a gondola lift is affordable even for thrifty travelers, as a two-ways trip costs about 3 USD.
