Skyline Luge KL: 9 Things to Know, Including the HyFly Zipline

Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur is in Gamuda Gardens, Rawang, about a 30- to 45-minute drive from the city centre depending on traffic. Opened in 2023, it's run by New Zealand's Skyline, the same company behind the famous luges in Rotorua and Queenstown. Our video about this place hit more than a million views, so we've rounded up the things you should know before coming.

The journey starts with the Skyride, a chairlift that takes visitors to the top station in under three minutes. For those of us who aren't afraid of heights it felt relaxing, and even those who are can still handle it. From the top, you choose one of four luge tracks ranging from 200 to 555 metres, including a tunnel over 160 metres long. The luge carts have no engine; you control the brakes and the corners yourself, and it's most fun when racing your friends.

The newest attraction is HyFly, introduced as Asia's first cable-to-rail zipline. The route is 380 metres with sharp turns and spiral loops, and speeds can reach 60 km/h. To get down, there's the option of a 15-metre free fall or the stairs. For us, this drop was the most nerve-wracking part, even though it looks short from below.

On safety, helmets and harnesses are provided, and staff check each participant one by one before starting. The filming rules are very strict. When we came, phones had to be strapped on, while the official FAQ states that only action cameras mounted on the wrist, chest or helmet are allowed on the luge and HyFly. Photos and videos are also captured automatically and can be collected at the kiosk on the same day.

We recommend coming from 5pm into the night, when the weather is cooler and the lights along the tracks start to come on. The place is family-friendly; kids 110 cm tall can ride on their own, while smaller ones can ride along with an adult.
