The park officially opened last April 12, 2014 and we were fortunate to be invited on the opening day to experience the attractions and activities available at SandBox.

The experience begins at the Adventure Tower where riders are given an orientation and prepared for the ride with helmet and safety harness.

Unlike in a regular zipline wherein the rider zips down a cable in a straight line, the roller coaster zipline curves up and down, and left and right, giving a roller-coaster like experience.

    1. Hi Thanks for visiting our blog. From NAIA, you take a taxi going to Victory Liner or 5Star bus terminal in Pasay. Just inquire which Baguio- bound bus will make a stop at Dau-Terminal. From Dau-Terminal (Mabalacat Pampanga) you have to choices: (option 1) take 2-3 jeepney rides, pls refer to the instructions in the article; (option 2) if you are a big group you can consider renting a van in Dau/Angeles (~P3,000). If you prefer the van rental, I can refer a contact in Angeles City
