[edit] Attractions
The park features an equal mix of thrill rides and family rides. Some thrill rides include a pirate ship, 2 go kart tracks, 1 of which is catered to younger riders, fairground style rides, a walk-through haunted house, as well as the highest log flume in Asia[1]. There used to be an indoor roller coaster, but was closed to the public after an incident in 2005.
There are also numerous family attractions such as bumper boats, a family coaster, a Ferris wheel and a central pavilion with many funfair-style games.
[edit] Accident
On 25 November 2005, two girls, aged nine and eleven, were critically injured and hospitalized after being thrown from the subsequently discontinued "Alpha 8" Roller Coaster and falling 3 meters. The cause of the incident is thought to be a faulty safety restraint. [2]
