Annual Shutdown

Annually the Valley of Waves closes for a short period to allow for maintenance of your favourite waterpark to ensure all of the facilities are of a first class standard. The Shutdown dates for 2004 are as follows:-2004 - 18 May - 24 June 2004

Roaring Lagoon

The Roaring Lagoon is an adrenaline junkies fix. Every 90 seconds, a siren wails the advent of an assault on your senses. A 1.2m high wave with a velocity of 35kms per hour crashes against the sandy beach pulling with it a delighted human wall.

Sacred River Ride

This underground river endlessly meanders around the Island of the Valley of Waves for 500 metres, carrying two million litres of water and joyful children, gently bobbing along the ripples of water in brightly coloured tubes.

Temple of Courage
Brave-hearts drop 17 metres down a 70 metre chute, hurtle under a bridge and plunge into the sparkling pool below - not for the faint hearted.

Diamond & Gold Mines
After the earthquake destroyed the ancient civilisation, the old diamond and gold mines were partly flooded and today provide thrilling semi-submerged waterslides as they twist down Slide Hill. The Tarantula is a thrilling experience - surrounded by darkness, armed with nothing else but a tube, you charge through channels of mountain terrain at breathtaking speed. Echoing your own screams of terror is the person hurtling down the mountain-side behind you.

The Bridge of Time
This impressive bridge, guarded by mighty elephants, serves to link the Hall of Treasures in the Lost City Entertainment Centre with the Valley of Waves. In order to protect the incalculable riches which lie hidden in the Hall of Treasures, an ingenious mock-volcano regularly erupts, causing smoke and lava to bellow forth from deep within the Temple of Creation.

The Kong Gates
These massive gates guarded the entrance to the Valley, and can still be seen today.

Monkey Spring Plaza
The Monkey Spring Plaza commemorates the troop of monkeys which saved the ancient tribe from starvation during a terrible drought.

Sway Bridge
This bridge was devised by the King to entrap those who wished harm to the Royal Family. It creaks and sways as it spans the yawning chasm over the cascading waters below.

Royal Staircase
The Royal Staircase links the Valley of Waves to the Palace of The Lost City via the Old East Gate Bridge.

Adventure Path
The Adventure Path links the Rain Forests across the Royal Staircase.

Gong of the Sun Lion
This beautiful gong saved the ancient people by summoning them to the safety of the Royal Arena shortly before the earthquake devastated their homes.

Royal Arena
This beautiful amphitheatre creates an impressive venue for cocktail parties, product launches and theatre acts.

Royal Baths
These Royal Baths, whose tepid waters were reputed to have healing powers, were originally built over a natural spring.

Observatory Bar
Overlooking the Lake of Peace and the Valley of Waves, liquid refreshments are available daily from 10h00 until 18h00 in summer, and until 17h00 in winter.

Mochachos
Mochachos is ideal for those who need to eat on the run. Tasty fast foods are available from 10h00 daily until 18h00 in summer and 17h00 in winter.

Baby Changing Station
Available at the ladies' and the gents' toilets next to the locker facilities.
