Yesterday was my first time to go there with my officemates and and by public transportation. This outing was planned a few months ago but circumstances delayed it and we ended up having only 3 of us who went through with it. Of course I'm disappointed because I was looking forward to have fun with the entire team but I can't let them stop me from enjoying the day.
So the three of us met at the bus station near the LRT Gil Puyat station and took the bus to Walter Mart Balibago. We arrived at lunchtime and we decided to eat our lunch there since the food in EK is expensive.
We took a tricycle and got dropped off in EK itself. I'm surprised how fast our entire travel was. There were plenty of people, but not as much as it regularly is in the peak season so we got our tickets fast and lines for the rides weren't too long. They have an ongoing promo so our tickets have been slashed to a lower rate so now is the perfect time to go to EK. However, one of their main rides, Rio Grande, was under construction so I was really disappointed.
But they do have some new rides and attractions such as the Go Kart, Horror House and the Disc-o-magic. I've tried most of the rides even those that require additional payment. We did not get to explore the Boulderville section but that's alright since that one is for kids. Their old ride called the Condor was also replaced with another ride called the Tower Ekstreme which was almost similar and is just a simplified version. The old rides were still there such as the Log jam, Bump cars, Anchors away,etc. We did not ride the Swan lake since that one's boring and also the Space shuttle because we're all scared of the loop. Though I would have probably tried it if I had a lot of friends with me.
The weather was also uncooperative. It rained most of the day but thankfully, there were times when it stalled. That's why we were wet most of the time.
For our meal, I had an ice cream bar for snacks and for dinner, I treated them with a whole box of pizza which was to celebrate my 6th month in the company. It's too bad I couldn't treat everyone because they were not with us but it's not my loss.
The Rialto was quite a disappointment though. The movie was not a good one. We also tried the 4D Theatre which was just okay but the effects were getting redundant after some time and the movie was also not so entertaining. I don't know if the rides are getting boring or just me getting old. But I still want to return to the place again soon.
Before we left, we rode the Ferris wheel and the Merry Go Round. I also got a henna tattoo on my right shoulder. I wish we had more time since we were not able to take a look around too much. We didn't even get to buy a souvenir or play some games.
We all had a good time overall. Now I know how to travel to EK and it's convenient for me. I'm looking forward to our next adventure.
