Our Bollywood Theme Park Rides

Anil Ambani’s Reliance ADA is discussing a tie-up with Universal Studios to build a massive theme park in Mumbai or Delhi. The $1.5 billion facility is to have a mix of Hollywood- and Bollywood-themed attractions.

That got us thinking: What would make for a good Bollywood amusement park attraction?

Here are some suggestions from India Real Time.:

1) Bollywood Karaoke: Pick a film, a song, a dream-sequence background (Swiss Alps, Singapore, etc.) and sing at the top of your lungs.

2) Fake Encounter: An arcade shooting game in which a rogue police officer guns down a local gang member with whom he has a long-running feud and then is never brought to justice for the murder.

3) Big B’s Carousel of Time: An easy-does-it ride that transports you through the career of  Amitabh Bachchan, with scenes from early hits like Sholay through to the slump and  retirement of the late 1990s, the revival with Kaun Banega Crorepati (Who wants to Be a Millionaire Knock-off) and recent hits like Paa. It could be like the Haunted House at Disney World, where you see yourself in funny mirrors: Each mirror could put one of Big B’s very wide range of hair styles and colors on your scalp.

4) Super Krrish: A high-speed, loop-the-loop roller coaster built in honor of Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish, the superhero with extraordinary speed and strength. Videos along the route show Mr. Roshan doing high-difficulty dance numbers.

5) Yeh Dosti: Hop in a motorcycle-and-sidecar and get ready for a ride as bumpy as the one you remember in Sholay, when Veeru and Jai sing “Yeh Dosti!” across the countryside.
