CROWN REGENCY CEBU
Located at Fuente Osmena Blvd., Cebu City, Crown Regency Hotel offers the first and only Sky Adventure Experience in the country.. You could try different extreme activities on top of a building. Here's what I've tried so far....
SKY WALK EXTREME
This activity is recommended to those who want to conquer
their fear of heights. You will have to walk around translucent glass flooring
at the edge of the 37th floor of Crown Regency. You'll be wearing a harness for
the entire walk and you will be accompanied by a guide so there's nothing to
worry about... Just enjoy the experience... :) I had fun on this one... :)
THE EDGE COASTER
Located at the 38th floor, Edge Coaster is a ride
that goes around the edge of the building. It has a control lever that can tilt
the platform down up to 55 degrees. The lever is manually operated by the
rider. We accidentally pushed the lever
too hard that we really leaned forward… That was a bit scary but since you have
in control of the lever, you can operate it based on what position you prefer.
CLIFFHANGER
Cliffhanger is said to be the "World's First Climbing Wall" atop a building designed to create the illusion that the building below you just disappears (http://www.skyexperienceadventure.com/updates/cliff-hanger). Located 7 feet from the edge of the roof top's 2nd floor, climbing was not as hard as I thought because the rocks were big enough to hold my feet. But of course, as you climb higher, you're strength lowers down. I literally sweat during this activity. But it was all fun... I had a wonderful experience. :)
VERTEX
A 30-feet high pole, Vertex is the highest structure of the Sky Experience Adventure. When you reach the top, you will see the nice view of the City. The harness attached to your body has an automatic lock that will not let you move unless you lean back. So be sure to lean back while going up and even when going down.
The vertex is usually done after the cliffhanger so what makes it difficult is the fact that you're already tired from the previous activity.
So you think that's the end of the experience? Wait till you see what's next.... After going up, how do I get down???
RAPELLING
This, I think,
is the most challenging part... Rapelling from the top of the building... At
first, I was like, aren’t you coming with me? (Referring to my guide)... I really
have to do this alone?The scary part was the first release of the rope... My
knees were trembling. But when I finally learned that I can control the rope, it
became easy and I had a smooth landing.
All activities are equipped with safety harness. They also provide safety gears such as helmet, suites and shoes (socks not included so be sure to bring one). Personal cameras are not allowed inside the activity area. They have photographers who can take pictures at an additional charge..
The Sky Experience Adventure is a bit pricey but it's definitely worth it.. You're really paying for the experience..:)
