Main Rides
The Aquaventure water park offers 20 exhilarating water rides for children (and adults) of all ages. The Leap of Faith is a 60 foot, almost vertical drop from the very top of a Mayan Temple. To add to the adrenaline rush, the ride rushes through a clear tunnel submerged in a shark lagoon.
If you are the competitive type, then the Challenger Slide will appeal to you. This rides consists of two identical slides side by side, so you can race a friend!
The Abyss is a 200 foot long body slide that starts with a steep drop through complete darkness in the Power Tower, and ends in a magical underground lagoon filled with prehistoric fish.
If you prefer tube rides, then why not try out the Surge? This ride starts at the top of the Power Tower, and twists and turns its way through white water rapids. The Drop is a similar tube ride, but this time you can choose to ride in a double tube with a friend.
Many of the above rides have a 48 inch height restriction, but never fear – there are also activities to keep even the youngest entertained. Kids can enjoy the jungle slide, while the very young will be kept entertained at Splashers – an elaborately themed kids pool and water playground, with constant supervision, water slides and rope bridges for climbing.
With all of these fantastic, thrilling rides available, the Aquaventure water park is sure to keep the entire family entertained for the whole day.
