Blueapple13: The Drop of Our Lives @ Dahilayan

According to Dahilayan Adventure Park's website: www.dahilayanadventurepark.com
Dropzone features a 120 ft. freefall into a man-made lake. Swoop to within a feet of the water surface making it an adrenaline pumping screamer of a ride. This is the Philippines' first extreme pendulum swing of its kind.

Bukidnon Trip [Dec.14, 2013]

""On this perfect day..nothing's standing in my way.

On this perfect day..nothing can go wrong."

True enough it was a great day and the weather was perfect, the sun was out and the wind was cold.

My friend and I made up our minds early on that we will definitely do this at Dahilayan.

Yes we've heard of the longest zipline in Asia and we want to do that too. But this new offering is just as exciting and thrilling! So, why not? After settling the fees, we walked our way to the dropzone. We knew we were getting close because we heard someone screaming. Woah! It made us laugh and run closer to get the view of what was happening. When we got there, we saw two people way..way...up in the air swinging back and forth and screaming their lungs out. Just as we were nervously looking up and convincing ourselves if we should get on with it, the guide said: you're next!

Waaaaaah! After the guides gave us instructions, they strapped us up and wished us the best. Hahaha!

Well there's no backing down now. This is it!!!!

The first thing that happened was that we were hoisted up and farther away from the "launch pad". Suddenly the man-made lake seem smaller, the guides were smaller and everything else seemed further.

I was so anxious to pull the cord, (yes I 'volunteered' to be the one to pull the cord in an attempt to establish control), that I kept on asking if it was time to do it. It wasn't time yet though because we have not stopped moving. We were still getting higher and higher by the second and I just couldn't imagine how far we were from the ground. I was sooo scared but I kept it all inside of me. My friend kept saying that we were so high up already and I just continued to make her feel fine by saying, no, we're okay. We're going to be okay. But I wasn't really. I was scared! And just then, we stopped moving and the guides signaled to pull the cord. And yes I did! But it didn't work the first time. OH NO!!! I pulled harder the second time and off we go screaming like we're going to plummet to our deaths anytime so...

but of course we didn't. Instead we had the most exhilarating feeling and we just continued to scream as we swayed back and forth 120 feet above the ground. How cool are we now?! Hahahaha!
