I had gone to wonder la(Bangalore) on 21st october 2009. It was my first time, even though it had been many years since the park opened. I have gone with a group of about 20 and hence I had to pay only Rs.350. That is a one time fee for any ride, any number of times.
Since it was a weekday, the park was sparesely populated. We never had to wait for more than 5 minutes for any ride.
In order to have a good experience, you must ensure that you have the following:
- Two T shirts and two pants or boxer shorts. 2. A swimming trunk. 3. Moisturiser(very important)4. Hawaii slippers/chappals(along with your sandals/shoes)5. Soap and shampoo6. A towel
When you enter the park, buy a locker and put all the items you won’t need like watch, cash etc in it. Double check the locker to be sure that it is locked. There is an elastic band attached to the locker key, so that you can wear it around your wrist like a watch. Make sure that you do not lose your locker key. The locker key should be with you ALWAYS. Be extra careful with it.
You should avoid eating stomach full before you enter any high-thrill ride. But that doesn’t mean you should be on an empty stomach. Once you are done with the dry rides, take some cash from your locker and have food.
Now its turn for the wet rides. Head to the locker, throw all your stuff in it except the swimming trunk. You will only need to wear the swimming trunk and hawaii chappals for the wet rides. Hawaii slippers are necessary because the floor can get too hot to walk on if you are in barefoot. Before entering a wet ride, you will need to take off your hawaii chappals. You can tell a friend to keep a watch on it while you finish the ride.
After the wet ride, head to the shower area and have a quick soap and shampoo bath. Not thoroughly, because you may want to go home and have a full bath. You will need a moisturizer to avoid dry skin.
I noticed a lot of people wearing their T shirts and/or boxer shorts while doing wet rides. That is un-usual. You only need to wear the swimming trunk for water rides.
Thats about it. Also, I noticed a lack of female participation when it came to the water rides. I’m guessing that it was due to privacy concerns. The park authorities should consider making separate water rides for men and women for some, if not all of the rides.
Park maintenance is good. I never liked most of the dry rides. They’re scary but not fun, at least for me. I loved the wave pool.
Thanks for reading. Goodbye.
