History

The realization of the project for the Anjo World Theme Park took five years.[2] The amusement park is situated inside Belmont One, a mixed used development in Minglanilla, Cebu described as the "first integrated family entertainment complex in Visayas and Mindanao" by its proponents.[3] The name of the theme park was derived from the names of the parents of Chester Lim, Belmont One's president; Antonio and Josephine Lim.[1]

The groundbreaking ceremony of the whole Belmont One complex took place in September 2018.[3] The theme park itself had its soft opening a few months later in December 21, 2018 with seven of its twelve rides initially made operational.[4]

Park layout and design

Anjo World covers an area of 1.5 hectares (3.7 acres)[5] and is divided into four different zones namely: Africa, Americas, Asia, and Europe. The four zones are inspired by the continents of the same name in the case of all zones but "America", which was inspirated from the super continent of the Americas.[4]

The parking facilities of the theme park can accommodate up to 200 vehicles.[4]
