Not much photos... I only took a 20-30mins walk around JP... maybe I'll try to take more photo next time... :)

Jerudong Park Relaunched!

'Haunted house' among new attractions for JP revival

Just when the public thought the days of the famed Jerudong Park Playground's (JPP) were numbered, the Board of Directors of the Jerudong Park and Country Club (JPCC) is now overseeing the biggest effort to spruce up the playground to woo back visitors.

The park, a once proud attraction of Brunei, is now a pale shadow of its former glory with the condition of the park said to be deteriorating.

But that is all set to change as a host of new attractions, including a 5D Theatre, a 30-foot slide, a Haunted House, a mini-golf course and a "mixstream" aerial obstacle course are making their way to Jerudong Park Playground.

The first phase of its total revamping effort is already completed and new rides and attractions are already open to the public, which include Single and Twin Seater Go-Karts, Electric Train, Electric Scooter, Solar-Powered Bumper Boats and Kids Bouncer as well as Carousel, Pedal Boats and Water Cycles, Jr Bumper Cars, Jr Skydiver, Jr Pirate Ship, Caterpillar, Shooting Gallery, Super Scooter and Musical Fountains.

JPP is now undergoing the second phase of its re-development which is scheduled for completion by this year. The third phase will include the 5D Theatre and Haunted House.

Mohd Kamal Hauzar bin Hj Sulaiman, Head of Operations, said he was happy to see the public coming back as the park opened with new attractions yesterday.

According to him, the management is revamping the whole area phase-by-phase with the hope of making the park popular again.

Whilhelm Albos Bayona, Sales Business Development Manager, said the current ticketing system is different from the previous one but they will always look into repackaging it from time to time, especially when all of the planned new attractions are in place.

He said there may be some problems in the ticketing system initially and it may look a bit confusing to some people but they will eventually "get the hang of it".

Date Of JP's Relaunch Is Moved!

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the date of the relaunched have been moved to 18th March 2011. No details were provided on what time the event will start and what kind of activities there will be on that date. But I guessing since they are delaying it by almost a month, I'm expecting more games & rides to be ready by the time they relaunch JP.

Jerudong Park To Get An Upgrade

I'm pretty sure some of you might have heard about this, while most do not even know about it yet, its about the redevelopment of Jerudong Park... yepz, JP is going through a phase by phase redevelopment with this 23rd February 2011 mark the reopening of some of the completed changes or upgrade...

This is the presentation presented to us explaining about the redevelopment plans...

Unfortunately, I can't show you all the slides because most of it are still considered P&C... erm... but what the heck, I'll just show you two of the slides... xp

Mini Golf

Wanna get wet?

After the presentation, we were given a tour around JP using the new "train" which will be used as a transportation for the public to go around JP once they are given the green light...

The old bumber cars

The new bumper car... coming soon...

This used to be the place where you play the RC boat... it will be changed to something that involve boat too and its for the kids only...

I never knew JP had this game! But as explained by the JPCC staff, this game was only operational for one week before being shut down due to being deem as "unsafe".

and by the look of it, it look quite well maintained for something that is being left out for more than 10 yrs...

The musical fountain area... not much changes will be done here...

New car will be used for the go-kart track... now you can have a passenger with you... :)

This isn't exactly for public... its inside the room of the mini amphitheatre...

RIP MJ...

Yepz, the mountain will also go through some renovation... and it will not involve some sort of rides anymore... but it will involve something that will requires you to "explore"...
