📍 Location: Imbiah Lookout, Sentosa Island

🛷 WHAT IS SKYLINE LUGE?
Skyline Luge is a unique, gravity-powered, wheeled ride where you:
✔ Sit in a low 3-wheeled cart
✔ Control speed using handlebars
✔ Ride down purpose-built concrete tracks
No motors or fuel — purely gravity. Unlike theme park coasters, it’s safe, beginner-friendly, and fun for all ages (with restrictions).
🚡 WHAT IS SKYRIDE?
Skyride is the chairlift system that takes you:
🔼 Up to the starting point of the Luge tracks
🔽 Back down after you complete a ride
It’s:
- Scenic and relaxing
- Great for photos
- Optional if you’re walking up small inclines
Together, Luge + Skyride make a thrilling yet easy-going experience.
