Now, you don't have to go to Disneyland to enjoy an international standard themed park -- it's right here at Adlabs Imagica, located on the Mumbai-Pune expressway.

The Mr India ride, in fact, is the star attraction of the park. It has caricatures of Anil Kapoor and Sridevi fight the popular villain Mogambo.

The ride starts with a short audio-visual. Later, both Anil Kapoor and Sridevi will lend their voices to it to make fans feel that they are a part of the Mr India family.

In the ride, the participant will team up with Mr India, Sridevi's Seema and their Toota Phoota, and battle against one of the greatest villains of all time, Mogambo. The participant will get to journey in Mr India's very own flying car, which will have jet packs and water blasters to take on the bad guy.

"We wanted to set up a theme park, which would be affordable to Indian families," says Chairman, Adlabs Entertainment, Manmohan Shetty.

"We are looking at setting up another attraction based on another popular Hindi film (besides Mr India). The plan is to add a new attraction every year to ensure people return to the park," he says.

The park promises to be a colourful experience, offering challenging rides to all age groups.

There will be stage shows as well, with song and dance performances on various themes.

The park includes 'I for India,' which provides audiences with a helicopter view of 'India', a love story in a full dome theatre, a live action horror called The Curse of Salimgarh and Rajasaurus and a river adventure, among others.
