G-MAX & GX-5 Xtreme Swing
Hey! We're back again!
In this week’s highlight of our 5-part Exclusive, we're here to enlighten you all on this great adventure spot, BUNGEE JUMPING!
Well jumping isn’t exactly the right word to use, cause in G-MAX, it’s REVERSE BUNGEE!
Confused? WELL, DON’T BE!
G-MAX The Ultimate Bungy
The G-MAX was invented in New Zealand by Troy Griffin in 1995.
As the assistants strap you in, you can’t help but notice how two bungee cords are attached to the craft, extending to the top of two tall towers that lean overhead. You take a gulp as you realise just how high it is. The assistants step back. They start to tighten the bungee ropes. Your craft angles back and you find yourself staring into the open sky. You feel the tension against the contraption you are in. You feel the tension throughout your body as you grip the sides of the seats, waiting for that unknown time in which the locks will release. The adrenaline is pumping through your body, you realise you’re taking shallow breaths.
THE LOCKS RELEASE and you find yourself sailing through the air, upwards and upwards, the towers fly by you and now, you’re above them. The caged craft flips over and so does your stomach, you plunge back towards the ground, only to stop and get thrown back up.
*The craft in which you are seated in is not hovering, it rests on the ground.

Interesting?! There's more to come.
GX-5 Xtreme Swing
Not only are the tickets reasonably priced at $45 per ride, there are also combo packages offered that just ooze VALUE-FOR-MONEY.
We checked it out last Sunday and boy was the queue long! So hurry up and get over there, you’ll have a Swinging(pun) good time! Did we mention that they offer video services to capture those unforgettable moments? There’s so much to miss out on, so don’t! Swing over to Clarke Quay, the G-MAX Reverse Bungy Site and the GX-5 Xtreme Swing are alongside the Singapore River, next to the Coleman Bridge.
Clarke Quay MRT is just across the river; exit the MRT by the Eu Tong Sen Street exit and turn left to cross the Coleman Bridge.
No monkey business now I tell ya!
