Parko Paliatso Luna Park — Attraction in Ayia Napa

Easiest 5 stars I had to give.

The park is big, not too crowded (note that we visited in September), not much of waiting time for games and you can eat/drink/chill as well. (Try the corn cobs and the cotton candy!)

For adrenaline junkies I will rank the games by difficulty level (we tried 4 that we thought were the best)

1. Music Xpress - easy 3 eur / tokens per person It is good for a warm up. Like a roller coaster only a lot slower with little ups and downs, you'll do it both forwards and backwards. It's fun, gets your heart pounding while enjoying some nice upbeat music during the ride, actually took some time before it ended.

2. Looping Star - medium 6 eur / tokens per person. A nice and fast roller coaster. It's a bit short but with strong turns and one full loop, must try for sure.

3. F1 Booster - medium to hard 6 eur / tokens per person. The one where you start considering your decision 🤣 It's like a giant axe with two cabinets on each end that will start rotating around its center point (of the axe) all while your cabinets as well are rotating front and back! You'll enjoy a very nice view of the city before the game starts and then it all goes crazy. I won't say more details as it's a must try.

4. Slingshot - hard Last but not least, the infamous slingshot. For this you'll have to pay 20 eur in cash per person and it's absolutely worth it. Check the youtube videos for a small appetiser of what's coming. For me, the wait before the start of the ride was the hardest. Briefly, you are securely strapped inside a metal cage which is hung on steel cables, you are then catapulted up to 90 metres in a tiny 2 seconds, all of that is filmed and you'll see yourself on a big television outside. They won't give you an actual USB with the video (i was told that was the case before) but they'll also upload long clips of the videos on YouTube the following day. (Check photos)

PS: Tokens are what you get from the entrance kiosk, 1 token is equivalent to 1 eur. Some offers as well like 12 tokens for 10 eur. Everything will be written on the window.

No GoPros allowed even if securely attached to chest mounts (totally understandable) so make sure to have someone filming you from the bottom because except for the slingshot you won't...

I visited with my family in July 2021. We could not have been more disappointed. There is a reasonable selection of rides but we spent a lot of time waiting for staff to turn up to let us use them or for the staff that were there to notice us. It seems there are significant management issues at the park as most staff were sat around in large groups smoking and playing on their phones. For the smaller rides, staff actually were not attending them in favor of chatting with their friends. My youngest went on the small carousel and the lady managing it started the ride before she had even sat down because she had gone back to talking to a friend and hadn’t noticed that our daughter wasn’t on the ride yet. For the ‘hook a duck’ style octopus game I actually saw two members of staff argue over who was going to take our tokens and ‘supervise’ our game as they were both busy chatting with other staff. For the token booth, I had to wait for the lady to finish her cigarette next to the booth before she was ready to take my money and give me some tokens. The whole experience just left us feeling like we were inconveniencing the staff. If they weren’t wearing bright yellow tshirts, there would be no way to distinguish them from people attending the fair. We weren’t expecting Disney, but when you have to approach large gangs of staff, sat on benches smoking, laughing and playing on their phones to ask if they can take the time to let your children onto a ride, it can be a little intimidating. We definitely wouldn’t...

really fun experience! we went to the slipknot (really wish i took the offer and went a second time for extra 5 euro lol) the loop coaster was also great as well as the crazy frog. the staff took the time to check we were safely secured. if you weigh over 100kg you may have some difficulty with the rides as in the frog it was a little tight but for the rolling stones my legs were too thick to ride (im around 95kg) and i appreciate the staff taking the precaution of not letting me ride instead if letting me go anyways even if the ride was empty as it is not quite tourist season yet. the safety of the people is definitely more important than income to them :) im just upset at the lack of atms and the staff not being able to take money off card to give physical notes or coins for the claw machines and the bull. but you can definitely use card to buy tokens, food and go on the slipknot. i tried playing the claw machine and after finally getting my hands on 2 euros the machine just took it without giving me any plays which was definitely disappointing as from seeing other people play the grip looked quite sturdy and i was desperate for the raphael tmnt plush
