| Delhi's Appu Ghar will be history after Sunday, after Supreme Court's order for closure.
Sunday will be the last ride through memory lane as the park would sell its last tickets.
Appu Ghar was India's first amusement park, a place where parents brought children, when they wanted to spend some quality time.
It was a place that drew people from across the country to the memorable roller coaster rides.
Last trip to Appu Ghar
The Qadris come to Delhi every year from Srinagar and one of the must-see places on their list each time is the Appu Ghar, but this time a trip to Appu Ghar is special.
''We come here quite often but now it is closing and the children are feeling bad about it,'' said Firoz Qadri, tourist from Srinagar
''I am feeling bad that it is closing,'' said Fatima from Srinagar.
More and more Delhizens are turning up to say their goodbyes to Appu Ghar. And generation-next is just as nostalgic, as they take their last ever turns in automatic cars and roundabouts, but they say they will go wherever Appu Ghar is.
''When it opens elsewhere in Gurgaon or Rohini, we will go there. We will miss Appu Ghar as it was in the heart of the city,'' said Shalini Bose, Teacher.
Appu Ghar officials said the Supreme Court order leaves them with no choice. Appu Ghar must shut down.
