History
The Trans Wonderland project was initiated in 1987 by the incumbent military Governor at the time: colonel Adetunji Olurin, while construction of the park began in August, 1988 following the financial support from the subsequent Governor, colonel Sasaenia Adedeji Oresanya. The park opened to the public in November 29, 1989.
Attractions
Trans Wonderland is sometimes referred to as Nigeria's Disney World. The park covers a total area of 67 acres. The fascinating attractions in the park includes roller coasters, electronic bumper cars, panoramic wheels, ferris wheels, merry-go-round horses, space station, flying chain chairs, dragon boats, funky basket circles and many others. Today, however the park is a shadow of its former self because many of these attractions have fallen into disrepair and they are no longer in good working condition due to maintenance issues. In spite of this, the park is still a popular entertainment venue in Ibadan.
