WONDERLA THEME PARK BANGALORE 11th DEC 2005

Wonderla is India's newest theme park and is just 20km from Bangalore.  Though it ain't exactly Alton Towers it certainly not bad by Indian standards and though I would normally be a bit worried about maintenance and nuts and bolts being tight, I figured it was a brand new park that must have had plenty of safety tests so I decided it would be ok for JEN to try them out!!!  In true Indian fashion it took us an age just to buy our tickets even with no queue and then we entered the park to find that much of it was still under construction but with money being a big issue in india I guess they had to start getting revenue in for it at the earliest opportunity in order to finish it off.  Still recovering from my little bout of pneumonia I declined to go on the rides that spin you round and turn you upside down but that didn't stop Jen.  We went here with the Lancaster family from Yorkshire who live here in Bangalore and whom we met through Sonia buying my guide over the internet.  Trevor, Sonia, Imogen, Alex and their lovely driver Muddy (maybe spelt wrong!) .

Imogen

Riding the crazy frog, exhillarating!!!

A view of the park from the big tower.

Another view including the construction of the lazy river, great title for something not yet finished!

The big wheel on top of the tower, only took this pic so I could zoom in and check the bolts!

Stunning view, if you like painted metal!

A couple of cheeky young buggers!

And a cheeky young madam too!

A deserted car park, almost!

The death drop, I did go on this but got off on the 2nd go to take pictures, no really I did!

A very photogenic imogen on the deadly elephant ride!

Trevor with his big soppy smile!

And Sonia with hers!

Jen embarassing us as usual!

Yes, hello Jen!

Taking me taking you!

This is one big churner that I wouldn't get on if I was fighting fit!

Look carefully to spot Jen and Imogen upside down!

And on to another flipping and spinning machine, iron stomachs on these girls!

A very rare sight of Malc eating spicy Indian food but not a great deal of Big Macs to be found in this park!

Aww, what a cutie!

A tickling session!

Yet another sickly ride!

Not sure who was dragging who on these rides!

And the final stomach churner of the day!

Great pic apart from the focus!

Ah, good old dodgems!

That look of speed!
