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 safe and unharmed throughout the entire adventure like helmet, etc.

Iba, Zambales: Bakasyunan sa Baybay Dagat

Get a load of the dramatic Zambales sunset at Bakasyunan sa Baybay Dagat. Bakasyunan sa Baybay Dagat is located at Barrio Amungan in Iba, Zambales about 4 hours drive from Manila. Bakasyunan is amazing since its waters were never deep and always lukewarm, that you always want to submerge yourself under them. You can go as far as 300 meters from the shore but not fear you'd drown. This is a view of the sea at Zambales. It is kept clean by a regular beach clean-up. Aside from swimming in the beach, visitors can amuse themselves at the many recreational facilities that Bakasyunan offers. One of them is the fishing lagoon. Visitors can also try putting at this mini-golf-course. Or try a volleyball game or two. And take a quick dip in the inviting pool, anytime of the day. Bakasyunan in Zambales has facilities that would accomodate everyone from all walks of life. Like this medium-sized hut which is ideal for families. And smaller huts which is good for smaller groups or couples. Th
