Experiences

A bowl slide at Splashin' Safari that swirls riders round before dropping them out.

Race a friend side by side in tubes from a starting gate, partly in the dark.

A family raft ride down Mount Mayday, past waterfalls and the wreck of Miss Tilly's shrimp boat.

Pile into a big raft on the sea turtle side of Honu ika Moana and ride up and over its giant wave walls.

A near-vertical, five-story plunge in the dark. It's the steepest slide at Typhoon Lagoon, and one-piece swimsuits are advised.

One of six ProSlide slides in the Coastline Plunge tower on The Boardwalk, rated 4 out of 5 for thrills.

The whale side of Honu ika Moana: a family raft twisting and turning its way down to the splash pool.

A five-storey racing slide at Splashin' Safari: race down on a mat against the rider next door.

Two body slides twist round each other like serpents down the volcano, racing side by side to the pool.

A spiraling single-rider tube slide through a waterfall and a cave.

Stand on a trapdoor inside the volcano, then drop 125 ft at 70 degrees and shoot through the lagoon below.

Round rafts for the whole family: swirl round Maku's giant saucers or drop into Puihi's dark funnel.
