Author's Persona Review:

This fiesta is kind of overrated compare with the last fiesta. Less Ballooons, lack of parking space, limited time for special balloons, overcrowded, and many other issues had brought some dissatisfaction to the public.
Darthvader and Doraemon are no longer available for this year and it seems to be a great dissapointment for Star Wars and Doraemon Die hard fans.
Overall, it is an average event.
