One of my fondest memories of my first ever trip to Tokyo (Odaiba in particular) was strapping myself to a seat that lifted me a couple dozen feet off the ground and then dropped me in two seconds flat. It was terrifying, it was exhilarating, and I couldn’t wait to do it again. Unfortunately for me — Tokyo being Tokyo, the tickets were costly and the lines were long, so I never really got the chance to get on that ride again.

Fast forward to last Saturday, and I had the chance to get dropped down another tower while screaming my freaking head off — thanks to Enchanted Kingdom 😀 To celebrate fifteen years of the country’s first and only world-class amusement park, Enchanted Kingdom has opened a new thrill ride for its loyal patrons. Dubbed EKstreme, Enchanted Kingdom’s drop tower promises to set hearts racing with its 150 foot height and drop speeds of up to 47 MPH.

EKstreme tickets are available at the queue for PhP 100 each; tickets are sold separately from ride-all-you-can tags. Enchanted Kingdom ride-all-you-can tags give you access to the park’s plethora of rides, including the Space Shuttle coaster, the Wheel of Fate ferris wheel, the Rio Grande water ride, and their Grand Carousel. The park is located in Sta. Rosa Laguna, just off the Sta. Rosa exit on the SLEX. For driving directions and price listings, please visit the official website at enchantedkingdom.ph.

Thank you very much to Ms. Charlotte and the staff of Enchanted Kingdom for a screaming fun afternoon.
