Wonderla Amusement Park

Wonderla is said to be the best amusement park in the city (and also one of the best in the country), and attracts all those looking for a rush of adrenaline. While it is most famous for the high-thrill dry rides, it also features some relaxed, fun rides, hence providing something for every visitor.

Situated on the outskirts of Bangalore on the Mysore road, Wonderla is a great amusement + water park, featuring over 60 rides. It’s quite popular for its collection of “High-thrill rides”, one of the main talking points of the park. It also features a newly constructed, India’s first “reverse looping roller coaster” – a coaster which you do in both directions, once straight and once in reverse order. The water park is fantastic as well, with a variety of slides ranging from thrilling to the leisurely.

Wonderla Bangalore has a category of tickets called “Fastrack” – which are around 50% costlier than the regular tickets. These give you dedicated, faster access to all the rides in the park. At least 25% of the seats (or equivalent) on all rides are reserved for Fastrack ticket holders, which means that you will spend much lesser time waiting in queues and more time doing the rides.

The management says that they sell a limited number of Fastrack tickets on a daily basis to keep the Fastrack experience optimized, so it might be a good idea to book them online in advance – especially during the peak season weekends. While the special category tickets might be significantly expensive, they can improve your park experience by a big margin, allowing you to do almost all the rides in a single day – and doing some of them multiple times – even during rush season.

Most Popular Rides in Wonderla Bangalore

Like all amusement parks, Wonderla has some flagship rides. While all the rides are great and exciting, Wonderla Bangalore is most talked about for its selection of high thrill dry rides that give you an insanely exhilarating experience. Some of these which you should definitely not miss are :

Recoil (the roller coaster) : The claim to fame of this ride is that it is India’s first “reverse looping roller coaster”, which means that you do the ride once in each direction – going forward and back. The whole experience in incredible – the coaster runs at a super high speed and reaches dizzying heights, and gives you great view of the park at some twisted angles.
Flash Tower : Probably the highest ride in Wonderla Bangalore save the big ferris wheel, the Flash Tower is a 40 metre high ride. The tower shoots up and drops you down multiple times, providing a shot of adrenaline rush.
Maverick : Not a ride recommended after a lunch – or even breakfast – Maverick twists and turns you around at a high altitude, at a high speed. And if that’s not all, it gets twisted and does the same thing over again.
Wonder Splash: Comparatively less scary by Wonderla standards, the Wonder Splash is a small roller coaster which lands in a pool of water, creating a wall of water around you as it hits the pool. Children love it.
Giant Ferris Wheel: A landmark ride that can be seen from miles away, especially at night when it is beautifully lit. The ferris wheel is situated on the top of an already high tower and is pretty high itself – giving you a brilliant view of the whole park and the surrounding hills.
Korneto: A newly made water ride, the Korneto is shaped like a funnel. You jump into a closed tube, and exit into the funnel, doing a few rounds inside the. While it’s not the most thrilling ride, it is definitely a unique one and should be on your to-do list.

Changing Rooms and Lockers

Like all good amusement parks, Wonderla Bangalore has an excellent changing room and locker facility, separated for men and women. The locker chargers are entirely reasonable – INR 170 per locker + INR 100 deposit. You get an RFID band to access the locker, and you can wear it like a watch – in fact, you can put extra money in this watch and use it like a prepaid wallet around the park to buy food and drinks. If you forgot to get your wet clothes from home, you can also buy them at reasonable prices from the store inside the park.

Food in Wonderla

Wonderla has a number of shops and cafeterias scattered around the park.

Park View Restaurant
Greens Restaurant
Five Star Chicken
Chillies Restaurant
Courtyard Restaurant
Waves Restaurant
Buffet Lunch and Dinner

Apart from these, there are a number of small shops and carts selling everything, from ice cream to coconut water, kathi rolls, burgers and pizzas. In short, there is no dearth of food options at Wonderla Bangalore, although we recommend you go easy on the food spree before you do any of the high-thrill rides. Many tourists have had their stomachs emptied right after a ride on “Insanity” or “Maverick” – a sure shot mood spoiler.

How to Reach Wonderla Amusement Park

Since Wonderla is located so far away from the main city, reaching here could be quite a task. However, with a little bit of planning and research, it doesn’t need to be. The most convenient way, of course, is to drive your car, or hire a car for the day. Other than that, BMTC runs a special Volvo bus service from/to Wonderla. The buses start from ITLP/Majestic/Koramangala/HSR early morning, so that they reach Wonderla just before the starting time of 11AM.
