ENCHANTED KINGDOM
Thousands
of people head south of Manila to spend a day of fun-filled
relaxation and adventurous excitement within the American-style
walls of Enchanted Kingdom, a 17-hectare world class
theme park conveniently located in the outskirts of
Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
Enchanted
Kingdom, a short five-minute ride from the Sta. Rosa
Tollgate of South Luzon Expressway, brings the closest
version of Disney-type leisure in the country. The theme
park, managed and operated by Amtrust Leisure Corporation
(ALC), offers educational entertainment tours to students
and "gastronomic treats" to families.
The
P1.2-billion park, which has been operating since July
28, 1995 was conceptualized by Landmark Entertainment
Group and designed after the Knott's Berry Farm, America's
first amusement theme park located in Buena Park, California.
It is a member of the International Association of Amusement
Parks and Attractions (IAAPA). As such, it provides
visitors with thrilling rides, stunning sights, and
wondrous experience.
In
the words of the Enchanted Kingdom operators, "the
place is an active mix of thrills, attractions, entertainment,
food service, celebrations and shopping set amidst an
enthralling place that presents the past and the future,
the quaint and the sophisticated, the picturesque and
the dazzling in one unique package."
Enchanted
Kingdom is an aggregate of seven theme zones: Victoria
Park, Portabello, Brooklyn Place, Spaceport, Jungle
Outpost, Midway Boardwalk, and Boulderville. These zones
serve as enclaves to 21 thrilling rides and attractions
meant to provide daring visitors with a sense of flight,
twist, twirl, and other acrobatic stunts.
The
rides include the Grand Carousel, Flying Fiesta, Rialto,
Space Shuttle, Log Jam, Wheel of Fate, Condor, Up Up
and Away, Roller Coaster, Anchors Away, Dodgem, Stone
Eggs, Air Pterodactyl, Swan boats, and Bump n Splash.
In the near future, the park is set to introduce other
exciting rides such as the Kiddie Train Ride and the
Rio Loco River Rapid Ride.
Aside
from the rides, Enchanted Kingdom also charms its visitors
with various treats such as the fireworks show every
weekend, dance presentation by the park's in-house talents,
theater shows, seasonal shows, well-manicured gardens,
classic American brownstone facades and establishments,
and a variety of characters and mascots led by the Wizard.
