SphereCraze
Ride - Malaysia |

Introduction
of SphereCraze
 |
A few years
ago a TV advertisement aired in New Zealand showing people
inside a large clear balls floating on water. It inspired
Andrew Akers and Dwane van der Sluis to build their own
giant plastic balls. It looked like lots of fun but their
balls was made of only one layer of plastic causing problems.
Everytime someone entered or exited the balls, it would
deflate and needed to be re-inflated and sealed.
The idea for a double skin balls was born.
A prototype was built in the garage of Andrew's house and
they tested it in the water but soon realized it was far
more intense on land where they could roll down hills! Some
seed capital, patents, trademarks and a business plan equaled
the latest adventure sport in New zealand!
"SphereCraze ride is not that serious ... " says
Akers, "The experience is bizarre, funny and exhilarating.
The most common reaction inside the Sphering is screams
of laughter - people exit from the SphereCraze with massive
smiles on their faces and tears of joy in their eyes."
There are many affiliates in Europe, Asia, Australia and
of course New Zealand, but nothing going on in the Malaysia
yet so this is our call out to those who keen to ride SphereCraze.
Here's an IDEA - be the first Malaysian to ride. We started
SphereCraze in 30 June 2007 and operate in Lake Garden as
a foundation and get started and expand to other venue and
resorts. We still finding for the ultimate location with
weather allowing us to rides both wet and dry all year round.
We can't wait!
An SphereCraze is a BIG, fat, 3 ½ metre huge inflatable
balls, round and bouncy, you jump inside it, it rolls and
so do you. Excited - you should be, as the ride begins at
the top of park hill, then launch down the hill.
There are two different ways to ride in a SphereCraze, one
involves getting wet and one doesn’t, simple!! Water
in the SphereCraze is to make the surface slippery so you
slide and rotate with the SphereCraze. The Wet experience
is designed as a more extreme ride as you are rotating and
water splashing around you at the same time.
Dry
SphereCraze
2 riders is strapped into a comfortable padded Dry for the
ride into down speed hill track. A “dry” ride
means no water however you will be rotating with the Sphering.
Wet
SphereCraze
This is the most challenging and adrenalin packed ride where
2 riders is strapped inside the Sphering and water is added
in with you. A wild ride with water rushing past you as
you rotate through the water flying down a hill. (Definitely
for thrill seekers and not for the faint hearted).
