Enchanted Kingdom

The ride is so cool i love the place. We have a exciting fun in there maybe i become so energetic that i puke in there

This place is really awesome. You will enjoy each and every rides they offer. You can go there with your family and friends and enjoy your day for a very cheap price yet a memorable one.

Fun trip and the best in the Philippines. Drink lots of water and think about getting the express pass to avoid time in the sun. Lots of up sale, main ticket covers the big rides but not the paintball or go carts. Expect to be funneled into photo booths and shops at the end of each ride.

This is a cute place for the size and age. The entertainment shows are really good and fun to watch.

The rides were pretty fun and diverse. There are a few you have to pay extra for, which is kind of annoying.

Being a fan of amusement parks and working at one, I have very high expectations. I had heard of this place before but never got the chance to go until a couple months ago while on vacation. Our favorite rides was the Jungle Log Jam and Rio Grande Rapids. We also rode Disk-O-Magic, Dodgem, Bump N' Splash, and Flying Fiesta. The staff at Bump N' Splash provide each guest with a life vest. I recommend you check your life vest before riding because you will smell really bad after. They had just added a new attraction called Agila The Eksperience. It is a really long attraction and we got bored halfway through but we really enjoyed the end which is a "flying" theater. This is the attraction to go to if you really wanna see the Philippines. We ate hot dogs for our snack. It was probably the best hot dog I've ever had.

Philippines Review #4

I need to greatly revise my "standards" for this review. You'll understand as you continue reading.

Being from California, I've had the pleasure of visiting a number of different amusement parks. Parks like Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Universal Studios, Sea World as well as Disney World in Florida, so for me, unfortunately the bar has been set very high.

During one of my visits to Manila, I decided to treat my friend and his family to a day of fun at the Enchanted Kingdom, being that most had never been. We all climbed into a car and drove 1.5 - 2 hours (70 km) to get here. Once we arrived everyone was really excited. Enchanted Kingdom first opened 20 years and covers 17 hectares (41 acres), so it's a good size property, but not huge.

Ticket prices are very reasonable as amusement parks go, P500 (approx. $10.75 US) per adult weekdays or P600 (approx. $13 US) weekends/holidays. BUT... you have to pay an extra fee for many of the "better" attractions. The Kubot Haunted House (P75), 7D Interactive Motion Theater (P100), Pagpag - another horror house (P75), Xtreme Paintball (P120+), Laser Tag (P50), Boulderville Kiddie Boats (P50), Bouncing Boulder ride (P50 for 2 mins) and the Fun Kart - Go-Karts (P380) this is the one I wanted to do!. True most of the prices aren't THAT high, but when you have 6 other people, the costs add up quick!

When walking through the park, everything looked very run down and poorly kept. Plus at the time we were there, more than a handful of attractions / shops were closed or out of order. This made me wonder how the place is able to survive. Apparently bus loads of school children are the answer, because 2 or 3 bus loads emptied into the park just after we arrived.

Anyway, here are the attractions we did ride:

The "Space Shuttle" roller coaster.

We stayed until just after dark so everyone had the chance to enjoy as much as they could. By this time everyone was pretty tired and most slept during the hour+ drive back home.

OVERALL: There are very few amusement parks in or around the Manila area, so you can't be too picky I suppose. This park looked and felt very run down when we were there, but everyone had a great time and that's really what matters most. 3 stars, A-OK.

Biggest amusement park in the Philippines! This is my second visit. The first one is 11 years ago, highschool fieldtrip. I have the fondest memory of this park. I remember trying out the "Anchors Away" 3x (me and emmanuel always run when we are finish so we can fall in line again) its a big ship that swings back and forth, while going higher and higher -sit at the end if you're brave at heart, then there's the big swing called "Flying Fiesta" (don't ride if you get dizzy easily), the 'Jungle Log Jam" like a mild roller coaster over water with a long drop finale- don't sit in front if you don't want to get wet. There's the swan etc. Now i return with my parents, cousin ara and my brothers family (kuya paul, ate joys, chloie and kian) The rides i try now are more child friendly because of my age and my niece and nephew, i only try EKstreme (a sudden high drop, my scream was cut short due to the drops suddenness. Then we try the hot air balloon thingy. l don't know what it's called but it goes round and round and round
Next is the "wheel of fate" a big ferris wheel. Then "air space" love this one (its like your into an airshow. I have a video posted on my Facebook. Rio Grande is my pamangkins request. really don't want to go (i don't want to get wet) but i put my gadgets on a plastic bag and I'm good to go, by the way the queue is very long. The "big swing" is my brothers request. It's still an enchanting get-away *expect to be tan, and spend a lot on liquid for rehydration.
By the way there's a parade and a fireworks display before the park closes.
