The ber months are already here and with people getting their 13th month pay and bonuses, a lot of families are once again planning for a great holiday getaway. And since we are once again fantasizing the magic of Christmas, why not experience real magic in Philippines’ largest amusement park – Enchanted Kingdom!
Coming back to Enchanted Kingdom after 2 decades was fantastic. Being able to saw its early years, I’m so amazed to witness the development it has gone through. From only a few rides to now a full swing of amusement, entertainment, and technology, owners Mario and Cynthia Mamon are indeed very successful at bringing world-class park in the Philippines.
For EK, October doesn’t only mean 2 months closer to the festive season. Before it gears up for the Halloween, Christmas, and New Year celebrations, it prepares the whole park for a huge parade of its enchanted characters as it nears its anniversary.
Now on its 24th year, Enchanted Kingdom will host a big party for all its guests on October 19, 2019 that will start early at 11am and ends at 12 midnight. This year will be extra special with more groups participating in the fun and excitement at EK’s anniversary.
Apart from its in-house performing group called Kingsmen, Ben&Ben will be coming to offer a special round of serenade, featuring their hit songs including “Pagtingin” which is currently #2 on the Spotify charts. Big social media influencers will be coming too to entertain park goers with their little stunts.
Arts wouldn’t be ignored as EK will host a live mural featuring three of the best local creative talents including June Digan and Anina Rubio. They will be joined by Jareth Correa, kid artist, and Ekids Talent search semi-finalist. Kids among the park visitors are also welcome to join them in the art activities.
Several big brands will be putting up their booths inside the park to treat visitors to special merchandize prizes. Some of them include Traveloka, Krispy Kreme, GoPro, and Nikon. Other sponsors who contributed to make the celebration the biggest so far are SKECHERS, TONY & JACKEY, CHERIFER, BIOESSENCE, EUROTEL, PHILIPPINE DAILY INQUIRER, SUMMIT MEDIA, KUMU, ANYA HOTEL, BAY LEAF, DAVID’S SALON, HAWK BAG, LA VISTA PANSOL, MACRO PHARMA, MICROTEL, MX3, SUN CRUISES, XTREME MAGIC SING, SHARP, and LAGUNDEX.
Regular shows along the streets of the park will still go down like Eldar’s Enchanting Symphony and Princess Maphista’s Moonstone Parade. Kids will surely love the fireworks display too that will go down after 7pm. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be as big as the previous years when Enchanted Kingdom used to sponsor a pyro technique contest.
Enchanted Kingdom serves as the first and the biggest world-class amusement park in the Philippines. Opened in 1995 at a 10-hectare property, EK has grown enormous, now covering a vast 25-hectare land. And from simple, few rides, The park now has over 50 attractions with the Agila as its newest offering.
Agila is a flight motion simulation attraction and EK is the first one to put this technology in PH amusement park. Other park goer favorites are the Space Shuttle, Rio Grade Rapids, Jungle Log Jam and the EKstreme Tower which drops riders at 76kph from a 40-meter rise.
It’s always a fun time coming to Enchanted Kingdom. People from all ages should take this chance to see real magic at the amusement park. Enchanted Kingdom is located in RSBS Boulevard, San Lorenzo South Village, Sta. Rosa City, Laguna. For more information visit also the EK website: www.enchantedkingdom.ph
