Circle of Fun is the Latest attraction in Quezon City Memorial Circle

-


I was in Quezon Memorial Circle this afternoon and I chanced upon this mini amusement center currently being constructed inside the big Quezon City landmark.  This new attraction at the QCMC showcases thrilling rides like the Wild Wind.  This is actually like the Space Shuttle of Enchanted Kingdom in Santa Rosa, Laguna.  It is a modified form of the traditional roller-coaster. 


There are also rides for the little ones like the usual water bump cars. 



And the horror rides which I will dare not ride because I do not have the kind of heart that can withstand intense fear.

 
While I laud the Quezon City government for this endeavor of providing a small amusement park for the residents of Quezon City so that they do not have to go all the way to Star City or Enchanted Kingdom to be able to experience the different rides, I can't help but feel dismayed over the changes in the scenery inside the memorial.  I frequented the place way, way back when I lived near UP Campus to enjoy a morning jog (almost having the entire circumference to myself) and also to join the aerobics sessions of Mrs. Zafra.    The outstretched branches of large-trunked trees will now be overshadowed by the tall rides and the horror of the rides will be multiplied by the horror of garbage that will pile up caused by the weekend revellers.  I just hope that the cleanliness of the QCMC will be maintained despite developments like this.


The Entrance to the Circle of Fun is: P20 and P30-60 for each ride.

Hi cutie,

I think so, they are open daily, and i think most especially on the weekends. No news that they will be closed so far...It is best to go there in the afternoon to avoid intense heat. Have a good time.

Hi Carlpeng,

I'm glad they have added a zipline, better than going to farther places just to experience ziplining. P150 is reasonable for a round trip so to speak...thank you for sharing your experience here. See you next when I have updated my blog. Have a year's worth of material waiting to be blogged.

Astig ang ATV sa Mt. Mayon!

    One of the reasons that tourists go to Mt. Mayon in droves is the ATV Adventure.   This activity allows tourists to go to the foot of Mt.  Mayon and see the beauty of this great lady up close by means of an all-terrain vehicle.  Up there, visitors can also enjoy the view of the city of Legaspi.  They can also savor the scent of the clean mountain air and get lots and lots of photographs amid the verdant background.  ATV stands for all-terrain vehicle.  This transportation is especially built to enable riders to get past all kinds of terrain , may it be rough, rocky, watery, sandy, muddy, hilly, etc.  It is basically automatic, but it also has gears (I wouldn't know when to use them, if you ask me.)    Before I started my three-hour drive to the foot of Mt. Mayon, I had a quick dry-run just to test if the machine was working well.  Also I made sure that  I was wearing all the necessary gears to keep me sa...

While enjoying my breakfast of adobong baboy and hot beef soup in Mam and Sir Diner located along the high way in Silay City, I noticed that most of the people around me were mestizas and mestizos so the curiouser I got about the history, not only of Silay but also of Negros Occidental. Silay City is also known as the Paris of Negros because of the well-preserved old haciendas , about 30 of them, that provide a glimpse of life back when it was the leading sugar-producer in the country, examples of these are the Balay Negrense and the Bernardino-Ysabel Jalandoni Home which have been turned into museums for guests to appreciate the history and the culture of the town especially during when hacienderos were the leading figures of society. The Balay Negrense boasts of memorabilia and architectural features dating back 1897 when it was built by Victor F. Gaston, son of Yves Leopold Germain Gaston, a Frenchman who married a Batanguena and later on relocated to Negros. Balay Neg...
