Freak out:

This is basically a fairground ride based on a pendulum. This ride has chairs positioned around the pendulum’s bob; riders need to sit facing one another on these chairs. When in motion, the pendulum rises at a maximum height of 72 feet or 22 meters. As the pendulum swings, the chairs start rotating along the pendulum’s axis.

Big apple:

This ride is a roller coaster meant for the little ones in your family. The carts of this roller coaster are designed in a way so that they look like caterpillars. The ride is named so because it takes riders through a ‘big apple’; as the path covered by this ride is pretty short, kids get to enjoy two rotations every time they get into the ‘Big Apple’ roller coaster.

Barry’s express:

This kid’s ride was opened in the year 2008. The ride includes a train having 3 carriages, which runs along the theme park’s circular railway track. As the train runs, the carriages sway and famous musical tracks are played.

Ghost train:

Ghost train is a train ride that will take you slowly through a dark tunnel laden with scary items like ghosts, skeletons and witches. All through the ride, a ‘spooky’ music is played and every encounter with the scary items is made more realistic with creepy sound effects.
