Introduction

Built across 82 acres, Wonder La is touted to be the biggest amusement park in India. Less than 30km from Bangalore, the park sprawls along the Bangalore-Mysore highway and has dedicated 45 acres of space to 24 land-based and 30 water-based rides.

There’s something for everyone. Daredevil rides like the Drop Zone that takes people to a certain height, drops them, catches them and repeats the process. Or The Hurricane which is a windmill model where riders are rotated in every possible direction.

Other attractions include the Virtual Reality Theatre, the Indoor Musical Fountain and the Laser show.

The park has an in-house reverse osmosis plant to ensure the water is safe and hygienic. Apart from a computerized monitoring system, there’s also an inhouse lab where water samples are tested every half-hour. Solar panels ensure that the water is heated during winter.
