KLCC skybridge visit


I want break the curse "local people does not visit domestic tourism attractions". KLCC skybridge is one of the hot spot and it is free for all. I have been heard and read about it. The tickets usually finish distributed before noon.
 When I arrived at 9am it was already full house. About 200+ people is in a zig-zag queue. Most of them are foreign tourist. But the queue was moving fast and within 30mins I already approach ticket counter. Ticket is distribute by session. I was given slot on 1.30pm. The last visit is 5pm. Each slot take about 30mins which consist of 3D KLCC intro movie and skybridge visit. Next to the ticket counter is a mini gallery about this world once upon tallest building.
 After grabbing ticket you should do some shopping at Suria KLCC mall. Otherwise do jog at park is good option too :P. Or do walkaround Jalan Ampang which you might find urban dwellers in the middle of skyscrapers.
 Ok, let's go back to the skybridge story. First, you need to go through a security check similar like airport. Then you are invited to a mini hall to watch 3D KLCC movie. You will get a Imax 3D glasses. But the movie is rather like Petronas corporate video. After 10mins movie show, then you can proceed to Malaysia fastest lift and go up to floor 41. Without looking at watch you had reach skybridge.
 Each session only have 10mins on skybridge. It is about 50m length and 6m width approximately. It is very solid (of course) corridor. From here you can view Public Bank and Ampang Area. Opposite is KLCC park and Cheras. 41 floor is not very high because most building still appear at your eye level. The coolest activity you must do here is -- take photograph and show of to your friend that you have been to The World Tallest Skybridge.
