At the back of the famous "Metro Centre", sits Metroland. Well, this isn't just Metroland, but "New" Metroland. What happened to the old Metroland is a mystery lost in the Earth's distant past...
Built entirely inside, New Metroland offers a great range of rides to keep the kids happy while Mum and Dad get their shopping done in the Metro Centre. Very much geared towards the younger age group, there are a surprising few rides. The New Rollercoaster; a medium sized, swinging boat ride; and a large "Chair Swing" Wave Swinger ride. The latter brings it's spinning riders surprisingly close the pillars and walls of the ride area.
Metroland closed it's doors forever on the 20th April 2008. Another park bites the dust...
While maybe not worth going too far out of your way to visit for aday, New Metroland certainly can entertain you and the kids for a couple of hours. It's certainly better than the shopping experience, and much easier on the wallet!
I have been to metro centre but wanna go upstairs to metroland.

I like shopping at the Metro Centre!
In fact, I was there yesterday. I love it here, it's so cute and fun at the same time! The rollercoaster is better than it looks too.

Its ok, bit dull after riding everything once ! I agree with the comment " It's certainly better than the shopping experience " .
