The GX5 ride at Clarke Quay was absolutely exhilarating! What really stood out was the team — they were incredibly encouraging and supportive. My friend was really nervous about going on the ride, but the staff took the time to reassure her and make her feel safe. They struck the perfect balance between hyping everyone up for the thrill and gently comforting those who were scared but still wanted to give it a try. Their energy and professionalism made the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend everyone to give the rides a go — you won’t regret it!

“Was honestly terrified of the ride and the idea of being so high up in the air. The entire team of staff on the evening of 12 October were so enthusiastic about their jobs and it helped to ease the fear a little. Kudos to the 2 who helped us into the swing, they were truly assuring and supportive which helped make the entire experience memorable ☺️”
