Tanjora at RCDB

Tanjora is an inverted roller coaster located at Wonderla Amusement Park Chennai in Illalur, Tamil Nadu, India. The ride originally opened at Kuwait Entertainment City in Kuwait City as Lightning in 2004 and was built by Swiss manufacturers Bolliger & Mabillard. The coaster closed along with the park on 6 June 2016, and was subsequently removed in October 2020.[1] It was relocated to Wonderla Amusement Park Chennai and reopened as Tanjora on 2 December 2025.[2]

The ride's layout is identical to that of the Batman: The Ride model at many Six Flags parks in the United States.
