Luna Park is an amusement park located near the beaches of St. Kilda. It is actually a historical site, being open since 1912. It still draws in huge crowds until today. It's quite small in size compared to Enchanted Kingdom back in the Philippines and the rides had more of a classic feel with it's wooden roller coaster and ferris wheel.

The front of the park is decorated by a humongous looking face. Visitors have to go through the wide open mouth of the clown face in order to go inside. Unlike in Enchanted Kingdom where you can buy a ride-all-you-can ticket for all the rides, here in Luna Park you need to purchase it separately. So we were able to buy tickets only for the roller coaster.

The place was filled with a lot of people at the time we visited Luna Park. Families, groups of teenagers waited patiently at long winded lines in order to get into one of the rides.

Me and Kuya Neo decided to ride the Scenic Railway. It was one of the main attractions in the park. It was a rollercoaster that went around the whole park area. It's called 'scenic' because when the coaster goes up above you can see the beach and the overhead horizon of the city.

We had to wait up to thirty minutes to get into the ride but it was worth it! The roller coaster didn't have hoops or anything dangerous like that but that didn't stop us from enjoying it. I totally loved the fact that it was a really old roller coaster. The planks were made of wood instead of steel and they even had a 'driver' to control the movement of the coaster.

All in all, Luna Park is a fun experience. Tourists must really visit it once they get to St. Kilda.
