HIS Royal Highness Prince ‘Abdul Wakeel and Her Royal Highness Princess Ameerah Wardatul Bolkiah launched Phase 2 of the Jerudong Park Playground last night breathing new life into Brunei’s premier tourist destination with new water rides, futuristic simulators and the Eco-Adventure Kingdom.
His Royal Highness launched the area with an impressive eruption of pyrotechnics, simultaneously lighting up the 50-metre Scary Drop. Their Royal Highnesses were accompanied by the Deputy Minister of Finance in his capacity as the Jerudong Park Country Club Chairman, Dato Seri Paduka Awang Haji Hisham bin Haji Mohd Hanifah.

From the observation deck, Their Royal Highnesses could also see the Eco-Adventure Kingdom tower over 220 metres away. Following this, they experienced the X-Rider 4D Simulator and Valkyrie – an interactive shooting 4D Motion Simulator.
