Atlantean towers that has the ultimate drop slides, the racing tunnels and the speedy water coasters.
Individual and group attractions include Rapids River and a grand scaled Wave Pool.
For more daring there is the Rocket Blaster, the first ever in china. This water coaster uses an inventive water jet propulsion technology to power its boats and riders. The innovative technology allows the ride to jet uphill through sections that are twice as steep as traditional blaster coaster. The steep drops and fast turns make it one of the most exciting and notable attractions on the island.
The two massive themed towers reimagine the Atlantean style as a living thriving colony rather than a lost civilization left in ruins. The towers were designed to have a strong regal architectural statement in ancient language was even created and can be seen embossed around the architecture of both towers. The Neptune Tower houses the SEA Shooter, the Leap of Faith, the Speed Loop and the Aqueduct. The Aqueduct is especially unique, because it surrounds guests with sea creatures including manta rays and sharks.
