Now, Wonderla is a theme park located close to B'lore. It has the best attraction in terms of a good combo of dry and water rides priced reasonably well! I have been to Wonderla twice before with my pals as a volunteer with the 200+ refugee children from a school in Yelahanka. I have seen girls half my age sit on the most scary looking rides..keeping their eyes open n enjoying themselves...while I used to sit beside them meekly....with my eyes shut...n call out to my Amma n to all the gods I cud come up with....n with loud screams of "Stop it".."Enough..enough"....hehehehehe..
Now, what on earth causes this fear...I have always tried to reason it out.....Is it the lack of trust on equipment or all my nightmarish dreams of a ride doomed to go wrong...ye ye...a lil bit of final destination 5 after-effects..where in they show a roller coaster ride going awry!!
I have sometimes wondered y pay so much to go n scream ur heart out...or what fun is thr to fear.....
But the bottomline is only this....while I fret n worry before the ride n after it n even during it...thr is somehow an experience of trying out something new....a new challenge ....or maybe amidst all tat screaming n having things churning in my tummy :)...or maybe tat feeling of hopelessness n helplessness all coupled together is fun after all :)...coz Im sure ....if Im going thr another time...NO WAY...Im standing out thr watch others have the fun :)
All this fun was thanks to a team outing v had last Friday from office...with a very wise old Subhankar lead us from the front pushing us to take the non-scary rides n waiting for "thy own will to decide for thy self :)" in case of the scary ones ....
The laser show was awesome....the 3D-very very short movie..an absolute delight...n d giant wheel, which is located atop a tower, a must ...even if u have suffered from childhood trauma :) of going on a giant wheel ....coz the view of Bengaluru from thr is soooper cool!!
As a child, I used to dread the thought of going to fairs or to theme parks...only coz of giant wheel....while I used to brave the roller coasters easily..the giant wheel always made my worst fears seem possible...especially when u have an older sister sitting by ur side...telling u things abt how this ride cud crash any min :)...ye so it turned out that she had all the fun....while I was busy shouting at the giant wheel operator ordering him to stop!! :P
