About the Gravityz

The Gravityz is an obstacle course undertaken outside the 65th floor of Komtar Tower. As of now, Stage One of The Gravityz is completed. This stage comprises six attractions, called Confidence Path, High Bench, Great Bridge, X Point, Z Wire and G Rocky. Participants start at Confidence Path, which introduces them to dizzying heights of Komtar, and help them boost their confidence before continuing to the next attractions, which become progressively more challenging. All precautions are taken to ensure the complete safety of the participants. Before embarking on the course, participants are questioned whether they suffer from heights, and those with high-blood pressure have to reveal what is their pressure level, and whether they suffer from dizziness or vertigo.

Participants wear helmets and rope harnesses which allow them easy movement on the aerial pathways without any hindrance, and yet ensure their safety the whole time.

Update on The Gravityz

The Chief Minister of Penang, the Right Honourable Lim Guan Eng, gave a try to The Gravityz, together with his father Lim Kit Siang, on Saturday, 17 February, 2018.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
