Great World...thrills and rides like old times!

These are some of the kind of rides and thrills available to visitors at the Amusement Park.
I went there to see for myself what the "recreated" Great World offered before the Opening.
Workers were still testing out the facilities and putting in the finishing touches.
These were the same kind of rides that captivated many of us when we were kids over 50 years ago. They should prove to be the same to our modern kids today.

Most of the rides will cost a token ( $ 3 ) per kid or adult.

Some will require 2 tokens ( $6 ) per person.

This Carrousel should be very popular with the younger children.

Similarly this boat ride would attract many kids as they can't resist water.

Those who have had a full dinner better not try this rocking Viking ship!
Your stomach goes upwards and then downwards...imagine the effect.


All little kids love trains !
So this should prove an attraction too.

Great World Amusement Park Opening tonight!

The iconic world of " Tai Say Kai " or more popularly known as the Great World which existed more than half a century ago will see a small revival tonight when it opens its doors to one and all at 6 pm.

The Great World Amusement Park is an attempt, at least, to recreate some of the allure and attractions of the past. Though it may be limited in scope as it is practically a one-man self funded business project, still it should attract a large pool of visitors with all the interesting rides available, the " Tikam" stalls, food stalls, music and dance halls, beer garden etc..

Unk Ringo, the owner of the project, is well known for staging outdoor carnivals locally.
