I almost forgot that I need to complete this trip before I could even start writing my latest adventure in the island of Eastern Samar. I almost jumped right into a blank draft eager to wear my storyteller hat for Eastern Samar. But that's a big no! I'll have to finish this first and a few more travel I took a few months back before we finally open a new chapter for Eastern Samar. We'll see if I could resist the itch to share the breathtaking 5-days I had in Samar. 😏
For now, here goes Part 2 of my adventure in Anjo World. If you missed Part 1, you may still check it here. Last time, I left you with these questions: Did Tere arrive on time for the ride's cut-off time? Or did all our eyes turn white while we continued to wait for her?
The answer is a resounding YES! Tere arrived on time! Woooohooo! 🎉🎉🎉
Surprise me, Anjo!
After we toured the chill side of theme park, we moved toward where most of the action took place. There were a few shouts I could hear here and there but nothing major caught my attention. Again, as a young adult, I'd say that the place is small. You don't have to worry about getting lost at all.
There's a little carousel that I thought was just too small for me or people my age. But if you're going with your kids or younger siblings, this might be enjoyable. As for me and my group, we skipped this ride altogether.
If you want to start kicking in the fun but still a bit hesitant, you can start with the Space Shuttle. It looked chill and from what I've heard, no one screamed from the slow circular movement of this ride. Which I think is a great thing for those who are afraid of major ride Haha! 🤣
And finally if you want to up the game, you can ride the Hiphop. We stood next to it while it was in motion. I heard a few people screamed but they mostly just put their hands up and enjoyed the bumpy ride.
Wait, let's pause for a moment. Let me just remind you that we're still touring Anjo and I haven't gotten to the exciting part where we rode three life-changing rides. I just want to be clear with that so we'll be on the same page.
Now, this next ride I'm about to show is the very reason why I was eager to pay a heaping amount for this theme park. I'm more of a nature person, so I'd rather take a trek up the mountain or a quick island hopping than visit a theme park, but when I checked the website and saw this baby, I knew I had to visit the park right away and try their Boomerang!
Now here's the sad part, their website never mentioned about the temporary closure of Boomerang when we visited. My excitement somehow faded when the news reached me onsite. But gonna have fun with the available rides! Now shall we start with Ride #1?
The Vikings
Since Boomerang was out of the picture, we only bough a ticket good for three rides. If you have more time and your kind of adventure is the one found in theme parks, you can purchase the unlimited rides.
When Tere finally arrived, we had to pick one ride that we will all ride together. Some are very afraid of extreme rides such as Anjo Eye, The Pharaoh and Tower Drop. So we decided, 1 ticket we ride together, the rest we can split and reconvene before we proceeed somewhere for dinner.
There you go! At first glance, the Vikings didn't look scary at all but when we were in, it felt so huge that the tilting on one side was could be as scary as the movement of the Boomerang! Jaya, Tere and I were seated on one side and Jessa, her husband and Herbert took the other side across us. Our side was the noisiest; the moment it started to move until the very last second, we were just shouting! 😂 I really told myself that if a Vikings ride could make me feel scared, I don't know what will happen to me in a Boomerang ride haha 😂 I thought I'd passed out at some point but luckily, I survived the ride!
Tower Drop
Right next to the Vikings was the Tower Drop. My experience in the Tower Drop was the total opposite of that in the Vikings. I had high expectation that I'd be shouting again and the adrenaline inside my body will come running like water in a river. But sadly, it was so so. The drop was too slow to even give me the slightest goosebumps. Not recommended for thrill-seekers!
London Taxi
Then we went to the area where people could ride London Taxi a.k.a bumper cars! 🤣 My college buddies and I used to hang out in SM where there were bumper cars so this was nothing new to me. I didn't take this ride. I was in the corner watching Tere, Herbert and Jaya enjoy the ride. They looked like kids lost in their own world while in the ride. 😁
The Pharaoh
Okay, so this is the point where we all split up! Since no one woluld want to go wild in the park's roller coaster ride, I went all by myself. It was fun but I certainly felt it was too short of a ride to fully say it was worth it. It was just one hell of a round in the frames you're seeing and that's it, it's over! I hope I could really ride a decent roller coaster one day.
And that's it, we've used up all out tickets and met somewhere near the entrance/exit after our last and separate rides. To end a perfect day, we ate dinner nearby.
Before I finally close this chapter, let me leave you with stunning photos of Anjo at night.
