Just an hour's drive from Coimbatore, nestled in the Nilgiri hills and strategically located at Mettupalayam on the road to Ooty, is this truly picturesque getaway - Black Thunder Park & Resorts - Asia's #1 Water Theme Park.

This 68 acre resort has rides that have been carefully designed and patented by Richard Crowl, a well-known US architect. The water games are safe, clean and great fun. Unlike many other water games resorts, this one does not have any fibre glass rides, which are cheaper but rougher and can hurt the user. The quality of water is checked on an hourly basis and the bleaching effect of chlorine is reduced by the use of polymers. No wonder then that Black Thunder won two awards from the Indian Association of Amusement Parks and Industries, one for safety practices and one for being environment-friendly.

Black Thunder has fun for everyone. There's a 18,000 sft kiddy's pool, which has a wild river ride, a surf hill, a flume slide and an artificial volcano in the middle of the pool. The surf hill is both thrilling and chilling. The cannon ball ride can be as mild or as rough as you want. You can go white water rafting from the top of a 50 ft high artificial hill or just laze around in the wave pool and imagine you are in the sea. And if you want to do the real thing, just slide down the foam-lined tube in total darkness and safely shoot out into the deep end of the pool.

If getting wet is not your kind of fun, there are a whole lot of dry rides like the toy train, roller coaster, caterpillar, giant wheel and tora-tora. And guess what? Six new dry rides and a mud cart track are in the pipeline and due to be ready by mid April. There is also a bird park that is coming up.

And if shopping is what you like doing best, you can shop till you drop at the memorabilia stores which have exclusive designer T-shirts, stuffed toys, swimming shorts, a variety of caps, colourful umbrellas, perfumes, hologram stickers, tattoos, key chains and a string of other souvenirs to take home.

There's more... As part of the park’s facilities, Black Thunder offers luxurious accommodation. Set amidst a breath taking landscape of coconut and betelnut trees, the 40 deluxe rooms and suites will make your stay memorable. The tariff ranges from Rs1,300/- to Rs2,850/- per couple per day depending on the plan. Multicuisine restaurant Thunder Café and rustic décor Tusker Bar are the right places to relax and let go. There is also a Children’s Play Zone, Health Club, Corporate Conference facilities and lush lawn with a view of the Nilgiris. Ideal for theme and private parties!

No day is complete without some fun food. And the chefs Karuppiah and Natarajan at Black Thunder understand this need. They dish out wholesome, lip-smacking cuisine from Chettinad to Continental.

When you need time off from the rest of the world, time to be with your family, time to share moments of adventure and fun with friends, time for children to experience fun and joy, time to take a break- Black Thunder is your destination!

A pleasant halt for travellers, it's clean and well-kept living quarters, make Black Thunder a getaway destination in its own right. And with the self-effacing, yet effective, Vincent Joseph at the helm, things couldn't be better.
