Island and Metro Walk by Unitech Amusement Parks
Ltd. and International Amusement Ltd.
The Rohini Amusement Park combines the experiences
of both retail and entertainment destination through
its two distinct zones. The retail experience
is called Metro Walk and the amusement park area
Adventure Island. A separate zone in Adventure
Island has been designed along with Turner Networks
and is called Planet Pogo, which will house
a MAD Theatre and Pogo Plazas for children.
Adventure Island will also include a water park
and a multimedia area, says managing director
Rakesh Babbar.
Toronto-based leading architecture firm Forrec
Limited, designed the layout of the park. Internationally
renowned consultants such as City Design Group,
Electrosonic, Management Resources and Cini Little
have also been roped in to create a world-class
amusement park and retail destination that promises
to be a one-of-its-kind entertainment destination
bigger that anything else in its catchment area.
The amusement park featuring 15 rides will be
specific to children and teenagers and for the
whole family.
Adventure Island comprises of a separate children's
zone that will be themed around the popular children's
entertainment channel Pogo. This zone will be
called Planet Pogo and will house special attractions
such as the MAD Theatre, H2O zone and HQ.
Another major attraction is the water park that
will feature several long water slides, a large
lazy river, fountains and a wave pool.
Metrowalk Mall
With a total area of 200,000 sq. ft., Metro Walk
is one of the biggest malls retail, food and entertainment.
An artificial lake spread across 3.5 acres provide
refreshing backdrop to exclusive retail experience.
Themed signages and extensive interiors in vibrant
colours will line the central courtyard of the
Metrowalk.
Water Management
The promoters have commissioned an environment-friendly
water management system, sourced from 8 tube wells
located along the site, will then be treated at
the RO plants for water filtration before being
used in the park. To counter the drawing of ground
water, the park has outlined a plan to harvest
water. Recharge pits will be constructed within
the site that will absorb rainwater back in the
ground. The park also plans to set up a water
treatment plant in the future that would make
it possible to recycle and reuse unclean water.
