Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 5) — A popular amusement park in Pasay City will soon begin welcoming visitors again after more than two years.
Star City management announced Wednesday it will be having its soft opening on Friday, Jan. 14.
“The long wait is finally over! Star City will be reopening this Jan. 14, 2022,” it wrote on Facebook.
The park will be open to the public from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily. “Star passes” or tickets will be sold online at ₱400 each, although the management has yet to announce the rest of the details.
Star City shut down in October 2019 after the hours-long fire that gutted several attractions within the amusement park.
Meanwhile, Enchanted Kingdom in Laguna is temporarily halting its operations until “at least” Jan. 16 in light of the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in the country.
“Although Alert Level 2 and/or 3 allows #EnchantedKingdom to operate on a limited capacity, management has decided to voluntarily suspend its operations for the safety and health of both our guests and staff,” it said in a post.
EK management said customers who booked via its online store “may rebook your tickets any time before the ticket validity end date.”
“Continue to follow precautions and be safe, everyone. Thank you for your understanding, [….] and we hope to see you all again soon,” it added.
The theme park made the announcement on Jan. 5, when the country recorded 10,775 new COVID-19 cases, almost double the number of fresh infections during the previous day. The figure also marks the highest single-day increase since Oct. 10 last year.
