Speaking on the launch, Arun K Chittilappilly, Executive Chairman and Managing Director, Wonderla Holidays, said, “Wonderla Chennai is the culmination of a decade-long dream, made possible through the continued support and encouragement of the Government of Tamil Nadu. We’ve created what we believe is India’s most advanced and immersive amusement park. We wanted Wonderla Chennai to truly belong to the people of Tamil Nadu, to reflect their creativity, culture, and warmth. Every corner of the park tells that story, from its temple-inspired design to its authentic local flavours. This launch not only marks our presence across all of South India, but also reflects our deep appreciation for Tamil Nadu’s progressive vision for tourism and infrastructure. We look forward to welcoming families and adventure seekers from across the country”
Wonderla Chennai is projected to create over 1,000 direct and indirect jobs, supporting local livelihoods and tourism.
The project was facilitated by the Government of Tamil Nadu’s Industrial Guidance & Export Promotion Bureau, underscoring the state’s commitment to tourism and entertainment infrastructure.
With its entry into Tamil Nadu, Wonderla reinforces its leadership in the amusement and leisure industry, deepening its presence across South India and paving the way for a stronger national footprint in the country’s vibrant tourism and entertainment landscape.
