Groundbreaking Glass Water Slide Experience

In the heart of Shah Alam, Selangor, a revolutionary attraction has transformed the landscape of Malaysian theme parks forever. i-City, Malaysia's premier digital city, has unveiled SkyCity Tower, the country's highest glass water slide standing at 60 metres. This isn't just another water slide—it's a technological marvel that promises to redefine what adventure means in Southeast Asia.

The Engineering Marvel That Defies Gravity

SkyCity at iCity offers Squid Game-level thrills - it's a 600m-long glass slide that juts and spirals from a 60m-tall tower. Imagine standing at the top of a 20-story building, looking down at a transparent tube that seems to float in mid-air, knowing you're about to hurtle through it at breathtaking speeds. At a staggering 60 metres high, the 600-meter-long glass water slide takes the fun to the next level.

The slide's design is nothing short of spectacular. The transparent tubes spiral and curve around the tower, creating a sensation of flying through the air rather than simply sliding down. i-City already offers plenty of excitement at its water park. But now there's their latest SkyCity, touted as Malaysia's first-ever water glass slide, making it a pioneering attraction that sets new standards for thrill-seekers across the region.

The attraction doesn't just offer thrills—it provides breathtaking 360-degree views of Shah Alam and the surrounding Klang Valley from its elevated position.

The tower incorporates LED lighting systems that create a mesmerizing light show, especially stunning during evening hours. As you glide down the glass tubes, you're surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colors that enhance the already surreal experience of "swimming in the sky."
