I went on a weekday, but there were still a lot of visitors. The line to enter the park was quite long and took a while. There’s a bag check before entering (and it was a bit odd to see that some people weren’t allowed to bring in certain items, while others seemed to get them through). The lines for the rides were also long, depending on which attraction you choose. If you don’t want to wait too ...

Good fun. The queues are quite long though. Most of the popular attractions are over 100 minutes wait time. We did find that the line went quicker than they anticipated. A lot of the attractions which were 5 min wait time were pleasant to do as an adult. We had no kids with us, just 3 adults. Queue to get into the park took almost one hour to get in, the one nice thing is you are constantly moving...

For foreigner the ticket is tied to our passport. Most of the ride is explain in mandar...
