I had a great experience at the theme park! The facilities were well maintained. Toilets were hygienic and clean. The signs were easy to follow, but a bit hard to see when it got foggy. Food courts and restaurants were easy to find, with decent variety and quick service. But a bit pricey. You can go out from the theme park to find more restaurants outside. You can still go back to the theme park anytime as long as u have your ticket with u whether it's physical tickets or e-tickets. Highly recommended for those who want to experience an extreme games!!!
