Fun-Filled Experience at Star City

Star City is situated in the northwestern part of Pasay. It is the most popular theme park and adventure park in the city, it's also a place of fun and entertainment for the whole family.

URC's Family Fun Day last October 23, 2010 is indeed fun and exciting. Our plan is to try all of Star City's rides, but it is impossible because there is always a lot of people there (what's new?), so here's our 5 most favorite thrilling rides that we enjoyed. :)

Star Flyer - Feet up! Wooohooo!

First is Star Flyer, one of Star City's heart pumping rides, which is the Philippines' first and only inverted roller coaster. It has 1-1/2 loops to be navigated in a 70-second run and has been dubbed as the biggest scream machine. Weeee!

Wild River

Second is Wild River, which is Enchanted Kingdom's Jungle Log Jam counterpart.

4D Theater

Fourth is the 4D Theater. It was our first time to experience 4D and it was really cool and awesome!!! It seems like we're one of the characters. We chose to watch "Haunted Forest" which they said  "the best" and it really is. :)

Viking

Fourth is Viking, Star City's counterpart of Enchanted Kingdom's Anchor's Away.
 

Pirates Adventure

And Fifth is Pirate Adventure, a sweeping action-packed boat ride set amidst villainous buccaneers scavenging the seas. Members of Black Pearl Philippines led by Capt. Jack Sparrow and the Pirate Queen will be on hand to set sail and lead you on their quest for the park’s hidden treasures of fun and excitement. This swashbuckling Pirate Adventure was just opened this October 2010.

Aside from these five, we also enjoyed Winter Funland, Super Telecombat, Bumper Cars, Wacky Worm, Blizzard, Grand Carousel, Kilabot ng Mummy, Peter Pan, Time Tunnel and Magic Forest.

The Walled City

The Walled City, also known as Intramuros is one of the famous landmarks in Manila, it was also known as The City within The City. It is one of the oldest fortifications in Manila. Built in 1571, the first fort was palisaded with structure of logs and earth. It became the headquarters of the British occupation from 1792 to 1764. 

In this historical place still remains the ruins and main formations during the Spanish era, such as churches, houses, the pathways, and the high walls of the fortress.

It's like going back in the past

Jose Rizal's footsteps

Here, too, Dr. Jose Rizal spent his last hours before his execution on Bagumbayan (now Rizal Park).

Today, Intramuros is a prominent tourist spot where visitors can experience Spanish-era Manila through the walled city's churches, restaurants and museums. What a romantic place! ♥

Taking a walk in Intramuros is a priceless treasure to be shared with the world. :)
