The end-of-year school holidays might be coming to an end, but we may have found a tourist attraction that you and your ‘lil ones can look forward to visiting during the next school holidays in March.
On Tuesday (24 Dec), Penang Foodie reported the opening of Splash Out — a new water theme park in Langkawi, Malaysia.
This water kingdom has 12 thrilling slides including Splash Twister, River of Life, Perfect Storm and Shipwreck Falls that will guarantee your family a splashing good time.
Here’s what you can look forward to at the new theme park.
Langkawi Island is well-known for its sprawling beaches. Now, you and your family can experience the craziest water-themed thrill rides too.
Wonder what it’s like to be in the vortex of a hurricane? Ride the Perfect Storm – a 40-degree parabolic ride – that will certainly get your heart pumping. Time to cling to your loved ones because you’re in for a wild experience.
Theme parks are never complete without roller coaster rides. Thrill-seekers should bookmark the Shipwreck Falls which slowly propels guests uphill before plunging them towards the pool.
Speed junkies can also race their pals in Ragin’ Racers, which can go up to 50km per hour.
Visitors can also try the intergalactic Poseidon’s Revenger and Splash-Tacular rides, which takes place in a dark tube. You will be kept in suspense all throughout because you’ll be ‘dunked’ into the pool at the end.
The Splash-Python and Splash-Twister rides also offer adrenaline-inducing riding experiences. They say you’ll be soaring dizzying heights so we’re hoping you won’t get sick on the way down.
Parents who want a lepak visit can float peacefully on the River of Life with their families. Remember to chope a float for yourself the first thing you get there, or you’d have to rely on your body’s buoyancy.
If your kids love running in the rain, they will surely enjoy Sprinkle Island, which allows them to run around in a playground with jets of water spraying from all directions.
Beat the heat with your friends and family by getting drenched in the Splash Kingdom. 250 litres of water will fall from the ‘heavens’ every 1 to 2 minutes so you’re bound to get soaked.
The Rainbow Rider is a giant slide that’s friendly for almost everyone. If you’re scared of the more exhilarating slides, this ‘watered down’ version is the one for you.
If you’d like to have a splashing good time when you’re in Langkawi, consider adding Splash Out Water Theme Park to your itinerary during your next visit.
The destination is a 22-minute cab ride from Langkawi International Airport.
