Fantastic Land
I had been to this place when I was in 10th grade in 1994 but the memories are still fresh of the place.
Fantasy Land is a wonderful amusement park located in suburbs (Jogeshwari) in Mumbai.
Most of the visitors to Mumbai choose to go to much publicized and talked about Essel World, but its expensive charges and long distance from the main land contributes to people giving up going there. But hey, Fantasy Land is there to make up for all the inconvenience in reaching Essel World.
I am not comparing or evaluating two competitors, but all I am trying to bring out is the fact that if any visitor to Mumbai wishes to have a good time in an amusement park, Fantasy Land can be a better choice. It is small and not very crowded.
It has many rides, which you can enjoy again and again till you tire. The first time I sat in one, all I did was scream my lungs out and cry as if I was being abducted by aliens and poor me helpless creature can’t do anything about it.
The Roller Coaster ride is the best one. The boat ride is not very enjoyable unless you have some strong and sturdy partners who can row it faster. I was with my juniors and poor kids couldn’t move the boat even upto half the distance in the limited time.
Outside food is not allowed and that’s the worst part. You just have to rely on what you get inside which of course is pretty expensive.
They have some discotheque and all, but I have never been there so can’t write much.
I think people who have not seen Fantasy Land, have still seen it as most of the shootings of the Hindi movies happen here.
Overall, it’s a nice place to have fun with friends and relatives. Better to avoid going there is summers as most of its is open place and the sheltered ones are very few.
