The Tower Of Neptune is nine stories tall, with a huge vertical drop. The drop is from the Leap of Faith and goes via the acrylic tube where you’ll be surrounded by manta rays and killer sharks. Explore the shark lagoon while safely ensconced in the inner-tube, a journey aptly called Shark Attack. The ride ends when you pass through the Water Coasters’ labyrinthine of tunnels and finally plop out in the lazy river.

  • Zoomerang

This ride offers you the great pleasure of feeling almost weightless. So if you’re carrying around a few extra pounds, you’ll be happy with this ride. You’ll feel weightless as you slide through the mega plummets and vertical zooms of the Zoomerang.

  • Poseidon’s Revenge

  • Tower Of Poseidon

Offering the ultimate surge of adrenaline is a ride in the largest waterslide of the world – the famed Anaconda. After you’re done twisting and sliding via the scary dark tunnel of the Anaconda, you’ll be dropped off into the largest fiberglass tube in the world, where the race continues.
