The stars of the show
1. Atlantis VR – Malaysia’s First Virtual Reality Slide

Atlantis VR takes the thrilling fun of a normal water slide and kicks it all the way up to a legendary level. This virtual reality water slide is literally the first of its kind in Malaysia, and is a must-try attraction! You’ll be setting off on a 250 metre virtual journey into the Lost City of Atlantis, which begins with two to four adults on a circular inflatable raft. Cutting-edge technology allows virtual reality (VR) headsets to track your position on the slide as you move, changing your VR experience as you zoom through Atlantis.
The result is an unforgettable journey that takes you back to a forgotten time, way back in 9600 BC. Make sure you’re bringing family or friends to the SplashMania Grand Launch, because Atlantis VR is best experienced in a group.
2. Monsta

This new SplashMania water slide will make sure that you and your loved ones have a roaring good time. Monsta sends people zooming along on a thrill ride that sends them spinning on a bowl-shaped water slide!
This adrenaline-pumping family experience kicks off with a high-speed start as riders accelerate downwards and make a smooth transition into the bowl area of the slide. Here, expect to circle the bowl a few times before the patented corkscrew exit sends you into a freefall towards the pool below. Monsta will certainly grant you a memorable ride, but this exciting water slide has a partner in crime.
3. Twista

Ready for Twista? No, not the board game. This twisty, high-speed water slide sits right next to Monsta and will give you a whole new experience. Twista will have you speeding up and sliding against curved walls for amazing acceleration!
This is because of special features built into the water slide itself, which include a compounded curved outer wall and a flat plate in the centre. Fun fact: Twista’s unique design was actually inspired by the speed and motion of a giant slalom ski. So, prepare to find yourself tilted and twisted at thrilling angles for a water slide ride like no other.
These three new rides are a welcome addition to SplashMania, and use the best technology and design resources available. Both Monsta and Twista are slides from world-renowned slide maker: ProSlide Technology from Canada, while Atlantis VR is by Polin Waterparks from Turkey. Knowing that you’re in good, safe hands while exploring the wonders of SplashMania is just one more reason for you to visit this incredible water park!

Atlantis VR, Monsta, and Twista might be the new kids on the block at SplashMania, but there’s plenty more attractions to have endless fun with. Shaka Waka provides yet another thrilling adventure by letting you slide down an enclosed tube at high speeds while surrounding you with dramatic visual effects. The resulting experience is a pulse-pounding slide ride that will certainly leave you coming back for more Shaka Waka!
5. Maniac Racers

If you’re looking to make your slide rides a little more interesting, be sure to check out Maniac Racers! This water slide is inspired by activities like slalom skiing and mat racing. Basically, it lets you race your family or friends as you drift down side-by-side flumes. There’s even an in-built timer included on the slide. But this isn’t the only ‘racing type’ attraction at SplashMania. You can also check out Typhoon Terror and Twin Turbo for a similar experience.
6. Spills and Thrills

Here’s another thrilled-filled water slide you can enjoy with family at SplashMania. Spills and Thrills is also a type of racer slide, but it has more traditional slide elements to it, like a curved bowl. On top of that, it fits family-sized rafts instead of individual mats. Don’t be fooled however, because this slide will definitely give you an adrenaline-fuelled ride that’s going to end in a joyful splash!
7. Plunge

For those of you looking to take things up a notch and really go for a thrill-seeking ride, Plunge is the slide for you. Located inside SplashMania’s iconic Amazonia ship, it basically drops you six storeys in a downward position before your body eventually makes contact with the curved surface of the slide. Now that’s a thrill ride!
If you’re into crazy freefalls, don’t forget to also swing by the Sumaumeira Drop. You’ll feel electric adrenaline right at the start, because this slide launches you into a sudden drop from a trapdoor, before sending you shooting off into an enclosed, high-speed slide.
Fantastic family fun
8. Ravage River

Not all the rides at SplashMania will send you spinning, zooming, and falling. Some of them are just great for a fun time with loved ones, and Ravage River is a good place to start. This stretch of water that you can float or wade down contains eight individual sections of rainforest rapids. These are designed to provide different, unique moments of engagement to visitors. You’ll be journeying through the Secret Lair, Bubbly Dip, Donut Rapids, Rain Shooters, and so much more!
9. Amazonia

A trip to SplashMania would never be complete without visiting its crown jewel: the iconic Amazonia. This massive, pirate-style ship is filled with fun things to do including multiple water slides, places to get snacks, an event space, and a DJ deck!

You can also go through the Titanic Experience here, which is your moment to recreate that famous scene from James Cameron’s Titanic on the Amazonia’s prow.
10. Wild Rush

Even while exploring family-friendly attractions, SplashMania never allows you to lose your sense of adventure. Wild Rush is a classic body water slide that contains thrilling twists and 360° loops that end with a dive into a three-metre pool. A wild rush, indeed!
