When looking at the development of India’s amusement industry, Wonderla Holidays is a name worth watching.
With major parks in Bengaluru, Kochi, Hyderabad and Bhubaneswar, and new expansion underway, Wonderla has developed from a traditional amusement park operator into a broader leisure and entertainment destination.

But what makes the Wonderla story particularly interesting?
From amusement parks to integrated entertainment destinations
Wonderla combines thrill rides, water attractions, family entertainment, kids’ experiences, F&B and resort facilities within its destinations.
This reflects a wider shift in the amusement industry: visitors are no longer looking for just a single ride or attraction. They increasingly expect a full-day, multi-dimensional entertainment experience.

Growth is not only about building new parks
For established operators, long-term growth also depends on continuously refreshing and upgrading existing attractions.
New rides, water attractions, interactive experiences, themed areas and family entertainment can help parks maintain visitor interest and create new reasons to return.
This creates continuous opportunities for ride manufacturers, water park suppliers, theming companies, FEC solution providers and interactive entertainment brands.

India is becoming a market to watch
Wonderla’s presence across different Indian cities also highlights an important opportunity: India’s amusement market is not limited to a few major metropolitan areas.
As leisure consumption continues to develop, opportunities are emerging across amusement parks, water parks, FECs, resorts, commercial developments and new entertainment destinations.
For international suppliers, the opportunity is not simply about entering one market—it is about connecting with a rapidly developing network of entertainment projects across the country.

And this trend extends beyond India.
Across Asia, park operators and developers are looking for new attractions, innovative experiences and solutions that can help them create the next generation of entertainment destinations.
At TAAPE 2026, we aim to connect international suppliers with amusement parks, water parks, FECs, developers, resorts and entertainment operators from Thailand, Southeast Asia and other international markets.
