Visitors 'hunt' in the 'Rainforest'.© Gulf NewsĪ more sedate train ride, the Convoy, which mows into the belly of a make-believe crocodile, is another attraction. For some breathless, whoopee rides there's the roller-coaster ride on a train. Life seems all about fun and you wonder what would it be like on those water park rides? The Flume Ride happens to be the most expensive at this stage at Dh8.50. Predictably, screams on high notes are heard as the boat hits the waters with a splash. You slowly chug down the waters and move upwards on a water rail before you turn a corner and come plunging down a slope into horizontal waters again. Here, you have to take an electronically-controlled ride on a small boat down narrow, water channels hewn in-between rocks, greenery and life-size animals. We move on to the most exciting area in this Amazon Jungle the Flume Ride. It's a shooting gallery where visitors can take a shot at animals for Dh4 a round and build up points to take home Pokemons. The Rainforest Adventure area is situated besides the Toy Town entrance. Kids love the lulling motion these machines create simulating a ride on a helicopter or a camel.

Instead, you get a card charged for an X amount, it could be just Dh20 or Dh50 or even Dh120.Įach time you climb on a ride the card is slid into the machine and the cost of the ride gets deleted as you coast along. It's a new experience as you hand money at the entrance and don't receive coins or tokens in return. The forest-themed painted walls, the dark sombre green ceilings, replicas of enormous bees and butterflies dangling from the roofs, a black nodding chimpanzee at the entrance and facsimiles of brown rocks made from gypsum and cement seem to create this Tarzan's world. The interiors have been hewn and shaped to provide an all-jungle ambience. The dense, green forests of an Amazon jungle is indeed the dominant theme at Toy Town. On a weekend naturally, you have to jostle for space when the Toy Town turns into a jungle. If you stroll into the latest kiddie attraction, Toy Town on the third floor of the Abu Dhabi Mall, even on a weekday morning, you can spot children going wild on their rides.
