It is located in the reclaimed area of the Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex, part of Bay City. The facility is owned by Star Parks Corporation, a subsidiary of Elizalde Holdings Corporation (the holding company of the FJE Group of Companies).[2] Star City has an annual attendance of about 1.5 million people.[3] Star City is the Philippines' only all-weather, air-conditioned amusement park. It has more than 30 different rides and attractions. HistoryIt was established in 1991. Star City is an offshoot of the annual Toys and Gift Fair, a Christmas trade exhibition by the Philippine Center for International Trade and Exhibit (PhilCite) first organized in 1976. In the 1990s under Fred Elizalde, the fair evolved into an amusement park later named Star City.[3] The former PhilCite building upon which the park was based upon was pulled down in the late 1990s to make way for the park's indoor rides. Attractions70 percent of the facilities of Star City are covered and air-conditioned. The amusement park introduced various types of rides and attractions in the Philippines. It pioneered the double-deck carousel, 360-degree-loop roller coaster (the Zyklon Loop), and water log ride (the Jungle Splash) in the country. It hosts Snow World, the largest permanent ice entertainment area in the country, which features ice carvings, a snow play area and the country's longest ice slide.[3] Another attraction in the amusement park is the inverted roller coaster Star Flyer. {{Anchor|Ferris wheel|Giant Wheel|Giant Star Wheel}}Star City is the home of the Giant Star Wheel Ferris wheel.
