Attractions

Aquaventure

Aquaventure opened February 16, 2007, and is one of the newest attractions at Atlantis. It is part of what Kerzner International considers to be "Phase III" of Atlantis Paradise Island. It is a 63 acre, 200 million gallon waterscape, combining slides, lazy rivers, and rapids into one large, natural setting. Special effects are used heavily throughout. The centerpiece of the attraction is the Power Tower, which contains four waterslides and a rock-climbing wall. All rides in the Aquaventure section end up in one large pool, where guests can get off or carry on into 80 feets' worth of underground caverns.

The Current

The Current is a water ride. Guests can choose which route to take, each route bringing them to a different part of the ride. The ride is a mile long and has conveyor belts, waves, and artificial tidal surges. It contains three million gallons of water and seven-foot-high lifts and drops.

The Power Tower

The Power Tower is 60 feet high and has several slides to choose from:

• The Abyss: This body slide has a 55 foot near vertical drop through pitch black, quickly takes you outside and then back in, through a water fall ,and finally ending into a cave with 2 large freshwater aquariums surrounding you.

• The Drop and The Falls: Both of these tube slides utilize the relatively new technology of shooting large amounts of water at a tube that "pushes them" uphill. They both start at the first level of the Power Tower which is directly below the top and both can be acessed from the river by a lift. The Drop spirals through the dark center of the Power Tower eventually emerging to a few uphill segements, and The Falls has a few drops that total 40 feet down and eventually back up ending in twists through the darkness. Both these rides merge at the end and take you to a final pool where you can choose to get out or go around the river again. If you choose the river this enables you to take the stairs back up the Power Tower or a longer journey which eventually leads to a lift back up into the tower.

• The Surge: A tube slide also utlizing uphill technology that starts at the top of the Power Tower. This ride is only accessible by stairs and not the lift from the river. It drops a total of 58 feet down and then pushes you back up through an enclosed section of turns finally ending in a small river where riders are struck by a flash flood. This pushes the guests out of the canal and into the final pool enabling them to get back into the river and eventually take the stairs back up the tower.

Mayan temple slides

At the Royal Towers is the Mayan Temple entertainment attraction. One of its water slides has a 60-foot nearly vertical drop followed by a trip through a clear underwater tunnel that passes through a shark-filled lagoon. The Mayan Temple consists of 4 major slides, which include the: Leap of Faith, the Challenger Slides, the Serpent Slide, and the Jungle Slide. ^[2]
