This will be a carousel called “Buggie Boogie”, on which visitors ride on space bugs and other funny creatures and take a spin to Minion song remixes. Visitors will also be able to find “Silly Swirly” – a balloon ride with matching theming – as well as a restaurant, a kiosk and some arcade games in the colourful themed area.
