Enchanted Kingdom — Attraction in Santa Rosa

Entrance fee moderately expensive. Come early to get enough dose of the action. Came here at 2pm so we didn't finish every ride. Birthday celebrant (for the month) gets a free pass while guests get a 10% discount. We paid onsite but you can also pay online. If you've been here before, you'll notice some changes that comes with the passage of time, especially the paint.

Map is only online via QR code. There's free alcohol spray bottle to claim in many colors (yellow, pink, blue, black, brown) for the regular payee. Get it right away before it closes. There's also a 5% discount to a restaurant if you're dining. Food is cheaper than ever, like you're in a usual mall in the NCR.

All the staple old rides and streets were still around, but not all are as crowded as they used to be. The areas with extra payment were deserted, probably because 100 pesos extra entrance was expensive when the stuff looks super old from a decade ago. The entire local theme park feels like a time travel back in time. If you've been here before, you'll notice the very rustic look with the old paint, so it's like Old Wild Wild West with a Korean touch on the decor.

Water is cheap at 35 pesos, and most of the food were also cheap. There are several souvenir stalls around for hats and the like.

Flying fiesta still nice, the old swing goes up and down and around. It's moderate and not quite going to get you dizzy. Loved the soft breeze on my face.

The Rialto portion shows Mowgli's Jungle Race, one that's refreshing and worth the line. We spent 30 mins in line. There were 60 seats upstairs & 48 seats downstairs. There's a bit of water that comes out as part of the effects. The story was a bit short and left me hanging.

Carousel for kids and maybe grown ups was a simple ride. Tried it for photos, can be cute here.

Rio Grande Rapids, this had a long line from afternoon up to night. We came around 5pm and got in around 5:45pm If you want a picture, it's 250 pesos and you can also download the digital version. I got really wet here, but it's fine since the hot weather at night made me dry in no time. There were ponchos at 75 pesos but it looked flimsy that you're better off bringing your own raincoat if you want to. Others used the magic dryer at 150 pesos nearby.

I ate takoyaki there and the snack was filling, worth a try.

Went to Agila 7D building, the only one looking modern amidst everything old-style. Closes at 7pm, so we were the last ride for this 15 minute show. It's got an epic music, even going as far as saying: You have just witnessed the splendor of the Philippines. It's a good line but you can't bring any large bags inside, only a small bag can be kept for your wallet and phone.

Parade? None. But the Eldar wizard went around randomly at the street near Rialto around 4pm.

Fireworks quick from 7:20-7:30pm when we came. We were told it started at 7:30pm prior to taking the Agila ride but they started it earlier. Best spot to watch it is near the outdoor theater stage area and near space rocket.

Ferris wheel ride finale. This one closes late, fortunately, and we got here on the last ride before 9pm. Overall, EK is okay for a quick activity...

visited this park last weekend and we arrived around 1-2 pm and it closed at 9 pm. it's my 5th time going here. i can say, it is not as fun and enchanting as before. idk why i felt this way, it was a sunny day but the area felt gloomy. maybe because it still the same old park i went to when i was a kid and not a lot has changed... some of the rides and facilities definitely looked old and repainting it was not the only improvement they needed to do. for me, it looks sad. some staffs are smiling while the others look tired and are they even happy to be there...

some rides were closed till 3 pm which can be disappointing for others who went there early in the morning. but i still tried to enjoy it because i was with my family and there area is not too crowded unlike my previous experiences. i managed to experience 8 different rides while my siblings got around 10 rides. since it was not crowded, some rides i went to like the EKstreme tower and Anchor's away has no queue at all! it was only the following rides: wheel of fate, rio grande, and roller skaters ride which had around 30-45 mins of waiting... (so getting ekstreme passes may be helpful)

so if you haven't visited this place, it's okay to visit it for once and try as many rides as you can. it's not that fun with toddlers, they won't enjoy it!!!

chill attractions if you're afraid of heights: swan lake rialto bump n splash or dodgem(w/o the water)

semi-thrilling but kind of chill rides: rio grande rapids (i enjoyed this sm!!! you'll literally get wet) wheel of fate (fun at night... it can be frightening during day time...) roller skater (fun fun fun!!! i loved this as a kid and i love it still as adult... kids will love this too!) -flying fiesta (my fave as a kid) bouncing boulder (it was so funny i enjoyed it. mini version of ekstreme tower) jungle log jam (idk what to say)

extreme and thrilling rides: ekstreme tower (bruh! i left my heart. wanna try it again but at night.) space shuttle (tried it. will go back again!!!) anchor's away (never going back to this. i hate it so much) air race (it was fun but only for 10 seconds...) disk o magic (my all time fave)

i don't know if I'm coming back though, i already tried almost everything here.. haha maybe I'll come back just to try the twin spin thingy... 😳

lastly, buying tickets in advance is not necessary especially on off seasons. ticket booths are open but there might be 10-20 mins. waiting time before you can enter. EKspress tickets are not that recommended since it depends on the amount of people on the queue and the system here is so inefficient and there is still...
