The Legend Stars Park in Jawa Timur Park 3 in East Java is the latest establishment to show its support of the 2018 Asian Games.

A theme park located in Batu, East Java, the Legend Stars Park is offering a special discount for five visitors on Saturday, the Asian Games’ opening day, and for an additional eight days after that, giving a special price to a total of 45 park visitors.

“The number 45 is based on how many countries are participating in this year’s Asian Games,” park operational manager Tossy Kusdianto said on Thursday.

To welcome Independence Day, the theme park also displayed a giant Indonesian flag measuring 27.6 meters by 4.5 m in front of a replica of the State Palace, which is also one of the park’s  main attractions.

Forty-five national flags of countries participating in the Asian Games were carried at Jatim Park by performers wearing the national dress of each country.
