Gurgaon to be Appu’s new ghar

NOIDA: Appu Ghar will soon be back. The founders of Appu Ghar are all set to revive the amusement hub which used to be one of the most popular amusement destinations in Delhi till before it shut down in 2008. The promoter is planning to set up amusement parks in Gurgaon, and this time they will be bigger and better.

Gian Vijeshwar, chairperson of International Amusement Limited (IAL), announced on Friday that the two new Appu Ghar parks would come up in sectors 29 and 52 in Gurgaon. The foundation stone laying ceremony is scheduled for October 2.

The park in Sector-29 will come up in a 25-acre plot while the other at Sector 52 will be spread on a 17-acre plot. Appu Ghar in its new avatars will be in tune with the current times and will be developed as entertainment hubs complete with a shopping mall, family centre, health center, themed go-karting, water sports, stunt shows and various rides that will be imported from Sweden and Italy.

The Sector 29 park will be opened first, with the management expecting to throw it open to the public in March next year. The other park in Sector 52 will be completed only in 2013.

IAL has roped in international consultants to make the parks world class. The company has worked out a revenue-sharing model, which the state government and the Haryana Urban Development Authority have shown an interest. The entire cost of operation, building and maintenance will be borne by the firm.
