ESCAPE Gravityplay located within the ESCAPE Theme Park in Teluk Bahang, Penang, is the longest tube water slide in the world. It was built in 2019. The tube water slide is 1,111 meters in length, and is certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest tube water slide in the world. This water slide showcases Penang's capability to build a water slide through the rain forest without destroying nature.

Official opening of ESCAPE Gravityplay

ESCAPE Gravityplay was officially opened by the Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng and Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow on 9 November, 2019. My wife and I were privileged to an invitation to the opening, after which, we had a fun time enjoying the longest tube water slide in the world. Although it is said to take 4 minutes, that 4 minutes seem to pass so quickly that we rode the slides twice!

To reach the top of ESCAPE Gravityplay, we had to take a chairlift.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
