ADVENTURES ARE FOREVER

MY VISIT TO ADVENTURE ISLAND

Few days back , my cousin Rahul came from Dehradun to Delhi just to

enjoy his college holidays. Every year he comes once to Delhi. He gives the

reason that there is nothing much to enjoy in Doon , while I think just the

opposite to him. Nevertheless , this time he wanted to visit some

Amusement Park. List of places came to my mind , but the first one was

Adventure Island. Why go too far when something so big is there in our own

locality. We decided to go on a weekday to avoid the rush. Adventure

Island and Metro Walk Mall is located in Sector-10 Rohini just near the

Rithala Metro Station.

This Rohini Amusement Park is sprawled over 62 acres in North West Delhi..

This park is situated right next to the Metro Walk. It is actually separated by

a large bridge. The project encompasses a shopping mall – Metrowalk and

Adventure Island, a world class amusement park and a water park. This

bridge, which looks relatively similar to the Golden Gate Bridge in San

Francisco, is easy to get across and will bring visitors out to the area.

It is the result of a 50% partnership between Unitech and International

Amusement Ltd., the promoters of Appu Ghar. People are coming from

South Delhi and Gurgaon too even though it’s located in North Delhi.

All attractions around the park are open throughout the entire year.

However, it is generally best to get into the park during the fall or winter

seasons. These are considered to be off-peak times when the park will not

be as busy.

Rahul and I went to the amusement park in the morning of 1 jan2022. We

parked our car in the parking lot. A nominal parking fee is charged Rs 25. A

great systematic entry. Parking Ticket counters are made just like Toll Tax

booths.

The parking space is so much that we parked our car in Lane-1. Parking is

very Spacious overground parking.The parking space is covered in a few

acres. There are 12 such big lanes which can accommodate thousands of

cars.After the entry the first place is the Metro Walk Mall. This Mall was the

first of its type an “Open mall” in Delhi that too extended over such a large

area.Roaming around in a mall in fresh air is simply awesome. However the

entry ticket of Adventure Island is Rs 450 for adults and Rs 400 for kids.

What I like about this place is that even this whole 65 acres is open but still

it is beautifully maintained .

Adventure Island is really an island! Yup, it's an artificial island flanked by a

“lagoon” that separates the island from the Metro Walk Mall area. So you

walk over the bridge and enter Adventurama! Chances are you’ll be there

from start to finish! Try to Go on a weekday if possible, that way you get to

go on ALL the rides MULTIPLE times.

The amusement park contains about 26 rides and attractions. The most

notable feature of the rides at Adventure Island is that they come from

several different companies that supply all sorts of rides to different big

name theme parks from all over the world. These include some of the

Disney and Universal theme parks that can be found around the United

States. This means that the rides that are prepared at Adventure Island are

made with the best possible standards for quality and entertainment in

mind. There is also a Family Pass option. This pass offers you a host of

privileges like welcome drink, special offer onMerchandises and Rides like

Twister, Splash Dunk etc.

This is a unique place to see when going out to Delhi on a holiday. The

Adventure Island amusement park Rohini Delhi is a great site for

entertainment. It is very popular with people of all ages who want to have

fun.It is not only a place for youngsters but it is even a great place for

family picnics as the kids really like this place.

The SideWinder

There are large no. of rides.The gut wrenching ones are the Side Winder

and the Twister. The Wind Winder is a circular shaped deceptively adorable

machine. It is actually mean and business-like, twirling and throwing at the

same time.It twirls and throws you up into the air, almost vertical and at

speeds that will astonish and make you feel like you’ve left your insides

behind. We were claiming not to be afraid of anything before this ride, but

came out of it with goose pimples on our hands and our hearts thumping

loudly against our chests. It's awesome. But not for the faint hearted.

The Z-Force Cyclone

The second stomach turner, literally, is the Twister that doesn’t act like a

cyclone. No, the only thing it twists around topsy turvy is again, you. Two

rows of seated people know they’re in for a rough ride, but have no idea

how horrific it is to be turned upside down 360 degrees in a slowly killing

and then mind-numbingly fast motion. Don’t worry though, there’s virtually

no chance of falling out.They have full safety measures.They were cool,

though. Moving further we came across a small cricket stadium. Really very

small but well maintained.

Water Zone

Another area which is very good here is the Water zone. All rain dances and

everything is quite enjoyable with DJ playing songs.

Then we came back to the mall after enjoying ourselves. The retail

environment at Metro Walk is spread across 2.21 lakh sq.ft and is anchored

to the park. This retail development has both a fun / amusement / impulse

driven retail mix as well as convenience shopping options for an extended

catchment area. It overlooks a large lake which acts as the separator

between the mall building and the park.There are 78 retail shops including

eating joints. You will find many of the major brands here.

Food and Beverage Outlets : KFC, Punjabi by Nature, Fast Trax, Spoon the

Food Court, Pizza Hut, Yo China, Nirula’s, Pind Balluchi, Flaming Wok, Gola

Sizzler, Baskin Robbins, Ruby Tuesday, Barista, Costa Coffee, McDonald’s,

Cafe Coffee Day, Geoffrey’s and more..............

Retail Outlets : Adidas, Levis, Reebok, Pantaloon and many more....

Lastly I must describe the rides that were there in Adventure Island –

Cyclone, Bush Buggies, Flip Out, Space Jump, Fire Brigade, Wild Wheels, Z

Force, Sidewinder, Derby Devils, Sky Riders, Lighting Bolt, Twister, Splash

Dunk, AirBus, Float Boat, Rockin Tug, Trail Train and Bumper Cars

To top all this, we were shaking from head to foot, with all those scary

images in our heads which would haunt us throughout our lives. During all

this, we had not noticed the time and it was getting dark so we entered an

indoor restaurant and ordered lots of food and beverages as we were

starving after all the breathtaking and electrifying rides.

After this great evening we were tired. But this whole sprawling campus

provides every bit of enjoyment. I will give full marks to this Amusement

park as they have excellently maintained it with full cleanliness even in an

open space.

Finally, we returned home and I laid on my bed with the image of all the fun

I had that day replaying in my mind constantly. And as it is quoted Life is

short, live the way u like and for me " The only Way is the Highway".
