Comments: I visit the eyes on Malaysia on the 17th of October 2007(Wednesday) with my friends’ n their family. We reach around 8pm wasn’t that jamm as it was a weekday. When we arrived, we show the giant antic wheel which made me even more excited. We managed to get a carpark easily with a short distance of walking. Firstly saw people selling all the toys with the eyes on Malaysia in it. I was thinking if I should be as it looks really cute n tempting. Then I saw the public toilet it was really long queue but the toilet looks really clean. Eventually we walked to the counter and it was within minutes we closed to the cubical. Then we were waiting for our turn. I even saw the management gave sponsors to one of the local student’s camp; there were a total 300 of them to enjoy their rides. Finally, is our turn! It didn’t take long and we went up gradually and had a couple of rounds. Believe me, when you are up to the tallest point of wheel you can even saw the blur view of Genting with the ideal system even passenger that have height problem feels less tension. Overall, it was a wonderful trip and I look forward to go on the day ride!
