From a backyard idea in New Zealand to an international gravity-powered phenomenon, Skyline Luge has reached an exciting new milestone of 100 million rides globally. This thrilling achievement is not just a number; it’s a celebration of adventure, family bonding, and innovation that has spanned generations and borders. Now, for the first time, Skyline is marking the occasion with a regional celebration across Southeast Asia, including Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur, the newest star in the brand’s global success story.
Why Everyone’s Talking About Skyline Luge
Skyline Luge isn’t just a ride, it’s a sensation. What began in 1985 with a homemade cart in Rotorua, New Zealand, has evolved into a world-famous attraction in eight global destinations. Founded by Hylton Hensman and inspired by the childhood joy of racing billy-carts, the luge blends gravity, control, and fun into one unforgettable experience.
Today, the numbers speak volumes: over 100 million rides taken, enough to circle the Earth nearly 2,500 times. From families to thrill-seekers, Skyline Luge continues to attract a global audience seeking unique, outdoor adventure.
In celebration of this milestone, Skyline has unveiled the “Golden Luge Cart,” a photo-worthy symbol of their legacy that embodies nearly four decades of memories and milestones.
Kuala Lumpur Joins the Ride, and Takes the Lead
As one of the newest parks in the Skyline family, Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur is racing ahead in popularity. Opened in December 2023, the attraction has already welcomed over 2 million riders in just over a year, proving that Malaysians are loving the adventure.
General Manager Gavin Barnes shared his excitement:
“To have achieved two million rides locally in just over a year adds even more meaning to this celebration. Through our local campaign, we are bringing the global excitement home and showing our appreciation to the community.”
This celebration is not just for show, Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur and Singapore are giving guests a chance to win a 7D6N family trip to Skyline Luge Busan, South Korea. The all-expenses-paid holiday (worth up to RM28,000) includes return flights, accommodation, luge passes, exclusive merch, and memories for a lifetime.
