'''Kishkinta''' was a theme park located in [[Chennai]], [[India]]. It was founded by [[Navodaya Appachan]], the owner of [[Navodaya Studio]]. This Park spread across 120 acres of vast area with a scenic landscape, bushes, fountains, decorations and designs. Along with these, the park had various entertainment places of Wave pools, water rides, roller coasters, toy trains etc. especially for children who visit for picnics. It was named after the fabled simian kingdom in the epic – Ramayana.<br />

== Controversies ==<br />
Due to lack of proficient engineers for inspection and analysis, Kishkinta ride quality checks were done by amateurs and for weight test labourers were forced to participate. One such incident resulted in the death of a young labourer.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/kishkinta-theme-park-accident-workers-wanted-to-get-off-but-no-one-listened/|title=Kishkinta theme park accident: Workers wanted to get off, but no one listened|date=13 May 2016|website=indianexpress.com|access-date=21 March 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/crime/130516/chennai-kishkinta-owner-staffer-arrested.html|title=Caught on camera: Giant Wheel collapses in Chennai theme park|date=13 May 2016|website=deccanchronicle.com|access-date=21 March 2018}}</ref><br />
