Star City Visit.

Star City Visit.
So it was my sister's birthday the other day and since she really has that something in her that doesn't allow us to kind of go further out the city, we stayed. Like, last year, we were supposed to go Baguio to celebrate her birthday and what happened was our car broke so my mom backed out and this time we were actually supposed to go to Laguna for some hot spring goodness but then again my youngest sister and I have some stuff to accomplish so we can't. Life.


So basically, my sisters and I went. Like, as always. Youngest sister not amused. LOL. Remember my cousin's pink lipstick? Well this is the red version of it.


Cousin being evil and put that demon thingy on my sister's head. Or like, peace sign? IDK.


Sisters! Love love love. As you may have noticed from the background, the park is themed Halloween so the reception kind of looked nice.


The reception might actually appear crowded but not really. Like, we hardly queued. and by that I mean, not more than 10 minutes or so of waiting for our turn to ride. Except probably STAR FLYER. But not by much.


I'm not really a fan of Peter Pan so I basically don't know who this guy is. But must take pictures. You know. Okay serious stuff now. The first stuff we actually rode was this ride right here.


I swear it is up to no good.

The thing is we usually go for the milder rides first before the main attractions so after this ride, we were all dizzy as eff. Like, seriously. I'm not sure whether it was just us or whatever but this stuff I can only ride probably once a year. Like, I can't even explain.


The ride basically goes round and round up above and stuff.


It is a relatively new ride and so people are probably just trying this one out. But I promise you! It's UP TO NO GOOD. 


It's kind of scary  but it really makes you so so dizzy afterwards. We kind of regretted riding it first because we didn't have enough energy throughout our stay. But then whatever. 

We noticed how people are not coming back to ride this ride again because at the end of the day, not a big deal anymore. I guess. I actually honestly think that this ride is really meant to make people dizzy. No more purpose other than that.


This is the second thing we rode. Which is our bad luck number 2. Since we were dizzy from the colorful thingy that we rode first, we can't even. Plus! They had to stop the ride at the middle so to unload a dizzy passenger. And so the ride operators decided to restart the time and so we were there for like FOREVER.


We entered all the horror houses almost twice. Oh look! Youngest sister not amused once more. Waz wrong though? And then we had dinner! 


Yup! Chicken everyday. LOL.


And we had some ice cream too.


I'm actually impressed on how there are details added to the rides. Like they added Madagascar on this roller coaster and Pirates on the anchor ride. There are then two pirate rides. Sort of. 


Youngest sister not amused hahaha. And this is us in front of the Pirates ride. 


I don't know what happened to this picture but anyways. Me likey.  That's all! :)

Star City, Philippines. A Look Back.

Star City, Philippines. A Look Back.
We usually go here during Christmas or just about any HOLIDAYS that we feel like going. We had quite a history with this place. I noticed how it changed over time and it's just so nice. This place is in the center of Manila. Anyone in Manila would know where this is located. Or at least would have an idea.



Can I just share this post with you? Because I'm pretty proud of myself when I was reviewing pictures when I got home. LOL. Pretty good right? Can I just also share that I haven't had a chance to ride this. I don't know but because of all the attractions inside the park, it seems unconventional to ride this. Also, queue line is so long. Or not really. I don't know. Maybe they should make this ride a little higher to attract me. It's really quite low. Pretty normal. Ugh. Moving on...



Recently, they kind of changed the LION KING ride with this YE OLE PIRATE SHIP. LOL totally made that up but yeah, basically the same concept. Only they kind of narrate the story Lion King on the previous ride so as much as I like PIRATES and all that CARRIBEANY stuff, I still prefer the Lion King ride. Too bad. Should have consulted me first. Haha joke.

     

The ride itself is a circular thingy that can lift 4 persons at most. I don't know if I'm just so obsessed with pirate stuff but definitely good stuff inside. Kind of reminds me of the Pirates ride in Disneyland so yeah. But that's another comparison. It's just that...I'm just saying.


My sisters and I. That pool thingy behind us is still the same though. They probably changed something about it but maybe it's just so irrelevant that I haven't noticed. Oh wells. Oh can I just share that it was my sister's birthday when I last went here.



The park itself is kind of divided into two. Not that there's an official division. There's like an outdoor park and an indoor park. Not that it's more fun outdoor but yeah, the rides there are just more daring. But the rides indoors', not bad. The thing is it's actually air conditioned inside. Star City isn't really a huge park so it's kind of always crowded so I say small spaces for walk like that of the picture above is very much appreciated. 



I believe this one above is the biggest ride there. The ride is quite good! I like it. But not my favourite. This thing is what they so call, an inverted roller coaster and all that. The concept is really nice. It's just that the ride is so short that it doesn't make up for the very long line and the very long time that you have to wait to ride this thing. Not very worth it. But yeah. Whatever. 



My favourite ride is actually this thingy. Ugh. Love!  

Mika and I queuing for SURF DANCE. Oh and Mari too!


Some more rides...Oops! When riding this thing above, ready a comb. You know what to do after taking off. LOL.

So... let's go inside, shall we? LOLJK. Not much inside. 

 

This is from the Peter Pan thingy. 



And just because they have this, ME LIKEY the attraction! LOL. They also have the Eiffel Tower, The Coliseum, and all that stuff. Nice, aye? Well...I don't know much about Peter Pan to be honest with you. LOL. So yeah. :) That must be all about this.
