Here's a glimpse of what you can expect.
The Odyssey of Terror Riders is the first slide in the region with a Double TornadoWAVE® and had the world&rsquos tallest waterslide with a Double TornadoWAVE®.
The Shockwave is a combination of speed, power, and rafting adventure where families of up to six blast forward 449 metres for over one-minute through a series of tunnels, at the speed of a giant slalom ski course. Riders drop and dive as they race along the outer wall of the curve anticipating the next change in direction as they look down the fall-line. It is also the world&rsquos first MammothBLAST&trade family rafting water coaster, and the longest family rafting water coaster in the world.
The Medusa&rsquos Lair is an intricate web of twists and turns, just like Medusas&rsquo snaky hair. Riders are blasted through a series of dark caves, steep slopes and drops as they race one another to the end.
The Blackout is billed as the scarier sister to Leap of Faith, daring riders plummet down an almost-vertical drop that delivers extreme thrills and high velocities from beginning to end.
