Can you identify this image
! Say, Where do you find this ? - three people enjoying a moment of excitement on an amusement park
ride. The specific location is not definitively identified by search results,
although visual matches suggest it might be at a park such as Wonderla or
Imagicaa in India. The non-celebrity people
in the image are shown experiencing the thrilling motion of the ride !! – where ??
The world's first amusement
park was Denmark's Bakken, which opened in 1583 on a plot of land next to a
natural spring whose reputed healing powers was a major attraction for
Copenhagen's residents. The most famous
and visited amusement park in the world is Magic
Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida,
consistently topping global attendance charts, followed closely by other Disney
properties like Disneyland in California and Tokyo Disneyland, known for iconic
rides, immersive theming, and beloved characters, making them global landmarks
for family entertainment.
Magic Kingdom opened as
the first part of the Walt Disney World Resort on October 1, 1971, commencing
concurrently with Disney's Contemporary Resort and Disney's Polynesian Village
Resort. In recent
few decades, many theme parks have sprung up in every major Indian City.
Imagicaa Theme Park, located
near Lonavala, Maharashtra, is a large-scale destination, often compared to
Disneyland, featuring thrilling roller coasters like "Nitro," water
attractions, and live shows. Wonderla – with large "amaze" parks in Bengaluru,
Kochi, and Hyderabad, Wonderla is known for its high-speed rides, extensive
water parks, and laser shows, popular for both wet and dry fun. Essel World located in Mumbai offers a wide array of rides, from classic
carousels to horror-themed experiences, alongside the adjacent. Nicco Park, in
Calcutta, provides over 35 rides and is known for its scenic gardens and
attractions like the "Giant Cyclone" and "River Caves".
Chennaites know too well - VGP Universal
Kingdom
Anubavi Raja Anubavi
(transl. Experience it boy, experience it) written and directed by K
Balanchandar hit the silver screens in 1967 – starring Nagesh along
with Muthuraman, Rajasree and Jayabharathi. The film was remade in
Hindi as Do Phool (1973),[3] in Malayalam as Aanandham Paramaanandham (1977),
in Kannada as Kittu Puttu (1977) and in Marathi as Changu Mangu (1990).
Music was by MS Viswanathan, to the lyrics of legendary Kannadasan. "Madras Nalla Madras" was one of the first songs
that tried to provide a commentary on life in the city – might stir
controversy, if it had come in recent times !!
மெட்ராஸ் நல்ல மெட்ராஸ்; மெட்ராஸ் நல்ல மெட்ராஸ்
மெதுவாப் போறவுக யாருமில்லே; இங்கே சரியாத் தமிழ் பேச ஆளுமில்லே
…. ………..
………..
ஊரு கெட்டுப் போனதுக்கு மூரு மாருக்கெட்டு அடையாளம்
நாடு கெட்டுப் போனதுக்கு; மெட்ராஸு நாகரிகம் அடையாளம்
The lyrics of the song are
not exactly a tribute to the city of Madras sung in the movie by the
wonderful comedian Nagesh. Nagesh, a villager, comes to Madras
and finds himself completely at sea and everything chaotic and
confusing. You can’t blame him, really. Any one experiencing the city for the first
time would feel the same way Nagesh did in the movie.
