One day trip to Hill Park Sibolangit

Good news for Medanese. Now we don’t need to take a 2 hours flight to Jakarta for a roller coaster ride at Dufan (Dunia Fantasi). Cause we have a new theme park, Hill Park Sibolangit, that is located up hill in Sibolangit, about 1 hours ride from Medan. It is planned to be the largest theme park in Sumatra island.

I went there with the family on last wednesday. Hah! That’s the joy of being a WAH woman, I can travel on the weekday. We rent a car with a driver cause my dad was not around. The journey was smooth with a little bit of traffic jam.

The entrance ticket is at IDR.12.000 per person. The theme park is divided into 3 section; The Lost World with a lot of rides, Toon Town for kids, and some Hill park castle (I forget the name ). The water park section is still under development. Oh, I can’t wait for it to be finished.

Anyway, each ride cost us IDR.10.000 to IDR.12.000. Imagine if you wanna take all of the ride, IDR.100.000 is not enough. That is only for 1 person, imagine if someone brings 3 kids. How expensive it will be. I hope it will use “the entrance ticket + all ride” system like Dufan or Sunway Lagoon.

I think the all-time-favourite-ride in Hill Park is the roller coaster called Gelegar. The roller coaster was build in a not so large ground with a complicated rails. I had no balls to take a ride on it since it was new and the scene in Final Destination 3 kept playing in my mind.

Kincir Raksasa (Giant wheel) became our choice. The 3 of us thought that the ride would be less scary than roller coaster. But no! When we were up there, none of us dare to look around or even moved the body. Err, except the boyfriend I guess. I tried so hard to kill the height fear because the scenery was oh so beautiful~! When I started to get used to it, we had reached the ground already. What? IDR.12.000 for only 1 round – 360 degree turning? It should be at least twice.

From The Lost World, we continued to explore the Toon Town where all things were so cute and colorful. There is an artificial tree house too. It is free for the first 2 ride. After that, you will need to pay.

Then, we saw the mini petting zoo where I accidentally splashed my white pants with the mud. -___-” The mini petting zoo is filled with various type of chickens, ducks, rabbit, horse, goat, and mouse deer. It is quite secial for city people like us.

The next destination is the indoor games at the castle. The place is used to be a casino hence the interior is a bit grand.

We spend about 3 to 4 hours in the Hill Park. The crowd came after lunch time when we were about to leave the park.
