Numerous water rides, the longest slides in the world, a beautiful beach, the best entertainment for children - all that you will find in Aquaventure waterpark to spend a great day.
WHAT ARE THE BEST WATER SLIDES IN AQUAVENTURE WATERPARK?
The Leap of Faith
This is a 9 story slide that will definitely make you feel scared. However, as soon as the ride is finished, you want to climb up again and repeat this adventure.
In fact, you spend several seconds literally in the free fall, moving down in almost vertical tube. After this spectacular fall you find yourself in a glass tube surrounded by sharks and cownose rays.
Shark Attack
This attraction is an underwater transparent tunnel. You move through this pipe surrounded by a giant aquarium. It is full of various sea creatures, colorful fish, stingrays and beautiful corals. But the most important feature of the aquarium is numerous sharks, who are swimming around you. Thus, a trip through the tunnel turns into a real marine safari.
Posseidon’s revenge
You will go into the capsule and hold your breath. After some time the floor beneath you will open, and you will fly into the abyss to meet Poseidon's revenge! Flying in one of the highest water slides in the world at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour is not a test for the faint of heart. However, you will definitely get a lot of pleasure and have some fun there.
Zoomerango
Indeed, if you come to the aquapark with your family or friends, zoomerango is the best attraction to try together. Tremendous speed and complete lack of gravity will make you live one of the best experiences. Hop into the big inflatable circle with your friends and enjoy the impressions. You can also shoot your adventure in a photo or video, for example, with a GoPro. However, remember that it is forbidden to take sticks with you, but you can hold the camera in your hands.
Lazy river
Indeed, this can not be called a real attraction, but lazy river “The Current” is one of the best places in the Aquaventure water park. A long river with its current will carry you around the park. You just have to hop in the rubber ring and enjoy the coolness and beautiful views around. This is the best way to take a break, relax and gain strength for the next incredible adventure on one of the numerous water slides.
