A thrilling milestone has been achieved as Skyline Luge celebrates its 100 millionth ride worldwide. From its humble beginnings in Rotorua, New Zealand, to becoming a globally loved attraction across eight locations, Skyline Luge marks this achievement with celebrations, giveaways, and a once-in-a-lifetime family trip to Busan, South Korea.
What started as an inventive idea by founder Hylton Hensman in 1985 has grown into a global sensation. His vision of a gravity-powered ride with full rider control took shape after being inspired by a stainless-steel cart in Canada, evolving into the three-wheeled Luge carts that thrill millions today. Nearly four decades later, the Luge continues to captivate families and thrill-seekers with its safe, accessible, and adrenaline-pumping rides.
To honour this global feat, the Golden Luge Cart makes its debut as a photo-worthy tribute to the momentous milestone. Sparkling with pride, this golden cart will be on display at all participating Luge locations, including Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur, the latest addition to the global family.
Since opening in December 2023, Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur has welcomed over 2 million riders in just over a year. “We’re excited to be part of this major global achievement,” said Gavin Barnes, General Manager of Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur. “Our local riders have shown immense love for the Luge experience, and we’re bringing that celebration home in the best way possible.”
As part of the celebrations, guests visiting Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur and Skyline Luge Singapore can enter a contest to win a 7D6N holiday to Skyline Luge Busan in South Korea. Worth up to RM28,000, the prize covers return flights, hotel stay, Luge passes, and exclusive goodies for two adults and two children. To participate, visitors just need to post a creative photo or video from their Luge KL visit on Facebook or Instagram using #100MillionLugeSEA and #100MillionLuge, and tag @skylinelugekualalumpur by 31 July 2025.
There’s more to enjoy! From now until 31 July 2025, every purchase of a 4 or 5 Luge Ride Combo gives guests a chance to win instant prizes through the “Instant Win” daily draw. With over 100 giveaways up for grabs each day, riders can win free ride vouchers, limited-edition merchandise, and more — while stocks last.
Adding a heartwarming touch to the celebrations, Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur is partnering with Make-A-Wish Malaysia to host a special day for wish children and their families. The event will offer a joyful experience with complimentary rides, fun activities, and cherished memories for all involved.
Looking ahead, Skyline Luge continues to expand with innovation and excitement. The brand’s upcoming addition, HyFly – Malaysia’s first zipline experience of its kind – is set to launch soon in Kuala Lumpur, adding a new layer of adventure. With future locations, including one in Wales, on the horizon, the next 100 million rides may arrive sooner than ever.
Join the celebration at Skyline Luge Kuala Lumpur starting 1 June 2025. For campaign details and updates, visit the official website or follow @skylinelugekualalumpur on Facebook and Instagram.
