2006.10.15 High-speed shopping

Times Square, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

20061014 151.jpg

I went to Times Square in KL looking for a bookshop. Nobody warned me about the "largest indoor theme park", including a roller coaster which runs near, through, and around a 10-storey high space. As the roller coaster rushes past just a metre away, the floor shakes (and it's really hard to get a steady shot - see the exposure time below!!). I think this is a great idea, although I wouldn't go so far as to say every shopping centre should have one. I only wish my stomach were keen on the idea of having a go.

Update: If you got here from the Image by chance gallery, you can find more from Kuala Lumpur in the 2006.10 Kuala Lumpur gallery.

Wow so cool! But I got a weak heart, not fit for such a thrill ride :-) And I must say your hands were pretty steady at 4s!
