Saving my favorite for last! The Skyline Luge ride is my ultimate go-to attraction while in Sentosa. A Luge is a 3-wheeled cart from New Zealand that slides down the road using gravity. You can control the direction and speed using the wheel. There are various tracks with varying levels of difficulty and length. Make sure to try them all for a full adrenaline experience! After you arrive at the bottom, take a Skyride to get above again while enjoying the majestic forest scenery below your feet and all around you.
