The newest attraction is the ever popular Waters of Africa. This Park features rides such as the Cameroon Climb, Elephant Walk, Zulu Walk, Congo Challenge and the first and largest man made surf pool, capable of creating up to 8M high waves for enthusiastic surfers.
The World of Adventure boasts of Malaysia’s longest suspension bridge for pedestrians, measuring up to 428M. A walk along this bridge gives visitors a bird’s eye view of the entire 80 acre park area. The Pirates Adventure features a pirate ship that spins you 24M above ground. The Tiger Adventure, Lost City of Gold, Scholar Rocks exhibition and Tomahawk are more of the attractions in this area.
