Visited Wonder La

Last week on 1st May holiday, went to Wonder la (@ Bangalore) and as usual Eesha was totally thrilled... We reached around 10:30 in the morning only to witness some good number of people already waiting at the ticket counters...It took us about 30-40 minutes to get our tickets and we were inside the amusement park in the next minute..
The huge crowd at the venue made us think probably we visited on the wrong day.It was too late to repent and the greediness to experience all the rides pulled our mind back. Attended to usual errands..rented one medium locker,dumped the belongings and returned with a venue map...

Most of the rides required minimum height of 140 cm and Eesha is just close to 90 cm ;-) Eesha was not allowed on the Flying Jumbo and we didn't take her to Moon walker..though she took this ride last time..Overall, she took about 10 different rides...Her most favorite is that giant wheel that even we haven't been...

We mustered courage to ride on Insanity and Y Scream and enjoyed the thrill of being thrown upside down. It really feels insane to realize that your life hinges on the normal functioning of one mechanical equipment operated electronically. There are few more rides that throws you around even worse. Once you make up your mind to trust the machines and sit on the ride, it is a matter of 60-90 seconds that you scream and voila, you can claim I'm not scared...Actually, I felt the fear is more due to not experiencing the ride than facing the risk in the riding itself...fear of not confronting ;-) Truth is it was quite safer with those clamps clutching your body and there was not much of a feeling of free fall anytime. It reminds me of that Vertical Velocity that I took at Six Flags (California,US)...that was scary, perhaps the clutch was bit loose (or we indians are too thin) ;-)

Recently, I have been seeing Ad about the Wonder la on National Television. Seems like company is planning to go public.
So far I have good opinion on the overall experience at Wonder la..Well managed and well trained staff. However, they need to ensure that the wait time is not too long..if you have to wait for 30 minutes or more for a 90 seconds ride, it can be frustrating..OK they have this premium Fast Track entry that entitles you to walk-in but the ticket costs twice ;-(

Overall we had good time and it was a good way to spend the day especially with kids...I wish they continue to maintain the quality and safety standards and I'm sure people will continue to flock.
