From high-speed flume rides to four-storey slides and wave pools, there’s plenty to do at this water park. Small children can take it easy in the meandering river or splash around in 'Yippie!', a shallow sloshing area. The 'Professor’s Playground', with its slides, ladders, water cannons and fountains, will entertain older kids for hours. More adventurous ones will prefer the exhilarating trip down the 'Ular-Lah' raft slide, with its high, banked corners and 360° spins.

The water park has also added four new rides for adrenaline-seekers. There's the 'Royal Flush', which sends you down a steep drop, and the 'Free Fall' that takes riders down a near-vertical slide that's six storeys high. Compete with your friends as you speed down the four-lane ride 'Kraken Racers', or if you're more of a solo daredevil, then the 19m-tall Vortex that turns and twists is set to be thrilling.
