Coaster Ride and Sky Walk at Cebu City

Are you afraid of heights? Some people do and maybe Sir Willi is afraid since he didn't join us in the sky walk experience in Crown Regency Hotel, Cebu City last night. He just stayed outside and wait for us while we do our first coaster ride and sky walk at the 38th and 37th floor of the said hotel.As for me, I am somehow fear the heights but because I want to experience this famous adventure here in Cebu, I decided to try. At first, I am really nervous since some people told me that it's scary. So, before I try the coaster ride, I texted my loved ones that I love them, in case that I won't be alive after the ride.

The coaster ride is located in the the 38th floor of the hotel. You will ride a cab and it will tilt around 55 degrees for four seconds as it will move at the edge of the building. After four seconds, the control on tilting is yours. In our case, it was Marife who controls the tilt since I am so afraid to touch anything that I might do something clumsy that will lead us to a fall. I was nervous at first but when I realized that the coaster's speed is very low, I became calm that I raised my hands many times. However, my hands is raised conservatively in the picture since I'm afraid that Marife won't be seen in the camera. But still, I got my hands raised here and somehow I am proud to do that. I had a fun experience riding this, and so Marife. 

The second adventure is said to be the sky walk experience which is located at the 37th floor of the building. This time, we are required to wear a jumpsuit and shoes. Since we didn't bring shoes, we bought socks worth twenty pesos and borrowed the shoes there. 

We tour the edge of the building for about 10 to 15 minutes while walking, our tour guide informs us so much about Cebu. From the top, we will see amazing views that you won't appreciate if you're at the ground. Look at how beautiful the view here. You will see the capitol of Cebu from here as well as the famous Fuente Osmena that shapes like a guitar. Is it just a coincidence that guitars are famous here in Cebu and this view really looks like a guitar?  Also, since our tour guide is very supportive, we are asked to sit down at the edge and this is very scary. I mean, once you slip here, it is only the harness that will support you and I'm afraid that it might not support me that very well. 

Also, this is the picture where we are given an opportunity to only step one foot at the edge while the other hangs above the sky. This time, I had a confidence to do this unlike sitting at the edge. Maybe because one of my hands is in the harness which assured me that I won't let go of it if ever I will slip. 

By the way, cameras and phones are not allowed in the coaster ride and sky walk. So , we only took some pictures with Sir Willi at the entrance. 

And before I forget, certificates of survival are also given to us. We are also given free shirts as a souvenir. Thanks to the operations manager at the reception area for that shirt since the shirt is not given to everyone. And lastly, the printing of pictures there is worth Php 230.00 each and the two rides plus the entrance costs Php 750.00. So, if you want to have a picture at the two rides, you need to prepare atleast Php 1,250.00.

I hope you'll try this sky walk experience once you visit Cebu since it is indeed a wonderful and rare adventure in this urban city. So, for those who are afraid of heights, conquer your fear by trying this one.
