Crazy things you can do in Theme park..ADLABS IMAGICA.

ADLABS IMAGICA

Like every Quarter, we were planning to enjoy in waterpark which will be nearby us. But this time we were planning for waterpark which will have various rides not like a small water resort. We came across multiple options like Water Kingdom, Imagica, Wet & Joy etc. But due to travel time we have finalized   “Adlabs Imagica”. Adlabs Imagica is very famous for its giant rides for both waterpark as well as Themepark. We have 9 people in our family, so have decided to go by a traveler which will be more comfortable and easier for travelling for all of us because we have two small kids with us. So, we have decided the dates 21st Jan 2019. One week before our plan dates, my elder brother called me and inform me that he will not be able to join for our Imagica picnic because of his official work (As usual he got an emergency assignment). Again, we were started discussing the next dates for Imagica and Shirish said you can continue with the same dates. We have decided that we are not changing the dates but instead of Traveler we have decided to go by Train which will be more comfortable and less time consuming due to heavy traffic on road. Finally, we were six member who have decided to enjoy the giant rides on Imagica.

Due to excitement no one sleeps before 2 am, and we all have woken up @ 5:30 am to capture 8: am Local train from Kalyan. I was surprised!! How should we all have got ready within an hour? Then I realized its our excitement to enjoy in Imagica. We all left 7:15 am from our home to reach Kalyan station and we catches auto and reached Kalyan station @ 7:35. We must catch train @ 8:00 am, Its Saturday so train was crowded. 

We move into the train but unfortunately there were no seats to sit. So, we must stand. While standing, I have started chit chatting with the people those are sitting on seats and then I came to know that these 8-9 people who occupies the seats are medical students and they were get down at Neral station and they have reservation in Matheran Hotel. Due to rush there was not space to keep our bags so were carrying in our shoulders. Ishita (One of the girls from that group) has help us to keep our luggage just below their seats and she started playing with my niece Siddhika. Initially Siddhika was shy but having little bit chit chat with her she stared playing with her. After 40 minutes, Neral has come and they all got down from the train but in the window, they said by to us specially to Siddhika. After one hour and 20 minutes we have reached to Khopoli station. We all Got down and from there we take an auto till Imagica. About 20 minutes ride, finally we reached to Imagica near about 9:50 am.

          Security people has started checking our bags, and they found some homemade food and water bottle in our bags. I told them that that tiffin was only for Siddhika & she is 5 years old. But due to security reasons, he was allowing us to keep it with us then I requested him to keep only Siddhika tiffin box and he called his manager. Manager was a kindhearted person; He allow us to carry only her tiffin box but informed us that do not open it openly. I thanked him and then we move inside. We have come early so we have whole day with us so instead of enjoying only in water park I have decided to enjoy both Snow world also, so I purchased the tickets for both Waterpark and SnowMagica and then our journey begins. We move to snow world first because we know that if we move to waterpark no one wants to come out from that till the end of the day.

SnoMagica   

It was mesmerizing experience for us from the start. For SnowMagica they have separate entry gate and a security guard checks our tickets and allow us to move inside. They have a luggage counter along with coupon system to keep luggage’s. While entering the SnowMagica we must carry our own socks with us. I did my research before coming to Imagica and informed others to wear socks and suddenly my elder bro said that he forgot socks , so we have to purchased the socks for him only in the shop in the snow world.(Socks was costly as compared to malls price, but we don’t have another option). They asked us to wear gloves, Jackets, and shoes before entering the park. (all the clothing materials will be provided by them) They have the timing slots for the park, and we went for 1^st slot i.e. 11 am. I pushed the door and we all move inside one by one. As we entered the room it was very cold. I was bit worried about my mother; she was not used to these kinds of chilled atmosphere. We started throwing ice on each other’s then started running here and there.

They have created IGLU. From childhood I was curious about IGLU and I stared crawling inside it. It was an awesome experience for me.

 After that we started clicking some pics with each other. Again, we started throwing Ice to each other. This is the advantage for going first batch because there were less crowd in it, so we were enjoying to fullest. We saw slider over there, Initially I thought it might risky, but one boy came on slider in a proper way which encourage me, so I have deiced to explore that one also. I went up there and took a mat and lie down on it and closed my eyes for a second and then I stated my sliding reached at the end of sliding and lie down on Ice, it was too fast so could not realize that I had completed the sliding. But it was an awesome experience for me, and I ask Shailesh to join me and he also take another Mat and we both came down on slider with loud shouting and at that time rest of our family members were cheering and hooting for us. Shailesh enjoyed that and he went again and again for sliding. Again, we started photoshoot with each other. I found a phone which was lie down at the end of slider and I was shocked that it was Shailesh’s phone, but he was unaware of that. He was busy with sliding again and again. I took the phone and handed over to my sister in laws hand. Then there was a museum, so we entered in that. There were cars which were made of ICE. We started taking pictures with ICE cars. And these cars were having different shapes and colors. We tried to capture as many pics with those arts.  

Suddenly, snowfall has started from the top and we all came out from that museum and started dancing in the snowfall. My mother gets so much excited that she started dancing with us. By looking at her dancing moves, expression, and joyfulness, we all were happy.  

And Suddenly, we heard music, DJ was playing a dance tracks and there was a special arrangement for Dancing along with lighting which gives you the feel of clubbing. As we all became excited that we started dancing in full energy. My mom said, she was feeling very cold, I took her outside for 5 minutes so she can be normal. Till our time slot, we can move in and out. After 2 minutes my sister in law was also came out due to freezing cold temperature. She told me that she will look at mom and ask me to take care of Siddhika. I went inside again & I started looking for Siddhu and I was shocked by looking at her, she removed her hand gloves and throwing ICE towards me. She was enjoying to her fullest. I took her to the dance floor, and we started dancing together. After 10 minutes we all get tired, it was not easy to dance in the freezing cold temperature but its our enthusiasm which keeps us dancing. Then we all came out from SnowMagica and surrendered all our Jackets, Shoes and Gloves. We sat there for 15 minutes to normalize our body temperature. While seating we have enjoyed a cup of coffee and some snacks to gain some energy for waterpark. And finally, we came out from SnowMagica with lots of memories and unforgettable experience.

Waterpark

Our Next destination was waterpark which was our todays main highlight. There was separate entry gate for waterpark. We all became more excited when we came to know that we have use Rope way to reach waterpark. So, we reach to the point where rope way was starting, and I handed over my ticket to security guards. He checks our tickets and allow us to get in to Rope way. 

We were enjoying our rope way journey; it was short but enjoy full. Within five minutes we have reached our destination. We have taken one locker to keep our other clothes and important things. After changing the clothes, we entered into the water. Waterpark was huge and has variety of rides. There was a map which displays our location and different rides location.

 I scanned that map and decided that at least we must do these many rides and we started moving in. There was a different section and various rides for small kids also. To start with, we first move to kid section and start playing with Siddhu. It was January, I thought water will be on normal temperature, but when I and Siddhu enters the water, we started shivering because it was too cold. After 5 minutes our body gets acclimatized with the water temperature and we started enjoying in it. There are small rides, I also became a small kid and with Siddhu and started enjoying that rides with her. Then I bring my mom in the water along with my wife and then we started enjoying that small rides. After half an hour we shifted to bigger rides. Initially Ashwini was scared to come along with me because it was on too height. But after I did it once then she gets ready to come along with me for the ride. There were different rides and we started exploring it one by one.  It’s 2:00 o clock, we have decided to take our lunch and after lunch also we can enjoy the water. But Siddhu was not ready to come out, she just wanted to be there. I asked others to move to food court and It takes some time to convince her that we would be back in 15- 20 minutes after taking lunch and again we can enjoy. By taking promise from me, she came out and we also moved towards Food court.

There are two different ways for lunch one was buffet and other was Thali system. We have decided to for Thali system with variety of menus. As usual we ordered NonVeg Thalis for all. Quantity was enough for single person and Quality was also nice. It was not that costly what we were expecting. Along with food we have also taken soft drink and Ice cream for Siddhu. There was again a coupon system for food counter. I like this place because of this proper management and for everything you must bring coupons.  We finished our lunch and for dessert we have taken ice cream for all of us.

After taking lunch, we though we must take some rest and then move back to water. So, we found one place where we can do photography. They have made that place only for scenic photography and creating memories for Imagica. 

They have kept various things with which we can take a photograph such as bicycle , on which we can take a photograph , zoola on which we can sat and take a picture. Small window garden where lot of flowers were kept. We have taken as much photos we can take. After having half an hour break, we again move back to waterpark. This time we move to bigger rides. Again we started with swings ride, then we move to wave pool which has a timing for waves so we have decided to go over there and enjoy the artificial waves. It was an awesome place to enjoy. Waves are like huge. Instead of standing in the center, we take a corner where waves are huge. 

There was a music in the background which will increase our heartbeat when waves are coming. After 5 minutes waves became more dense and bigger, on which we were not be able to stand on our own feet, wave was taking us with it & we were shouting like hell. It was very scary as well as enjoyable time for us. After 15 minutes, waves were stopped. We again move to another rides. Again, we tried various rides. There was a place to rest. My mom gets tired, so I asked to take a rest over there and she felt sleep for half ana hour. Its 5 pm, again we move to wave pool to enjoy the waves. We were floating on water with the wave, there were few more groups which were also enjoying and dancing in the pool. I like the security over there, few security guards were always there to guard us and inform us about the depth of water and guide us to take the help of rope. After taking few pics we came out of the pool and started enjoying in rain dance which was just besides the pool. We were exhausted in water. So, we thought to take some pictures and we tried with some unique poses. Siddhika was enjoying her fullest, by looking at her I was very much happy and thought that our money was worth. She was so busy in water, that she didn’t want to go back to home. When security guards told her about the timing of the Imagica and if she did not go to home how should we also go to home? I like the behavior and courtesy of the security guard. By listening him, finally she came out and we all move to changing room to change our cloths. They have a spacious changing room; we have taken shower and then changed our clothes. We all were too hungry, so we have decided to eat something.

                We all came down a place where we must catch a bus to move down towards exit. While coming out, there were small gift & toy shops were present. We have a coupon for gift which were given at the food counter. Siddhika like some toy and with the help of coupon we brought that toy and then we all came to bus stand where we must catch a bus for exit. Finally, bus came in 5 minutes and we all move into the bus and withing 5 minutes we reached to the bottom where we have taken ropeway. There were different entries and theme parks which was still going on. In the middle of ground, there was some event going on. Anchor was asking easy questions and giving passes for the different theme parks. There were different places to visit and we cannot stop our self to visit that places, so we started exploring different places for taking photos.

 There was a huge lake which was surrounded by lightings and it was looking marvelous. We have taken few photos over there and moved to exit. There was huge taxi stand with different mode of transport. This time we have taken Van instead of auto so we all can be together. They have fixed rate for transport Rs. 50 has been taken from us for each passenger. I like the transport management. While leaving the Imagica, I was thinking about our awesome day and water rides and SnowMagica….
