Star City opens annex, launches new rides

MANILA, Philippines - Star City is now bigger and better with the unveiling of an open-air annex, enabling more children to enjoy the park’s attractions this holiday season. At the same time, it is introducing four new rides: Road Race, Mini-Pirate Ship and Frosty Train for young kids, and the all-time carnival favorite Music Express.

Already the country’s only all-weather theme park, Star City boasts of an expanded space outdoors for the Kiddie Wheel, Quack Quack, Tornado, Star Frisbee and the inflatable Fun City.

Children are sure to savor added excitement on the Road Race, which features vehicles shaped like race cars that go around in a circle but also pop up and down.

The mini-pirate ship swings horizontally at a maximum swing angle of 60 degrees giving riders the feel of weightlessness. It is the best amusement ride to challenge children’s endurance, much like the Viking Ship for adults.

 The Italian-made Music Express, in turn, is similar to the Caterpillar ride but goes both forward and backward at higher speed.
