What to See in Wet World Water Park
Super Hurricane

The Super Hurricane is arguably Wet World Water Park’s magnum opus. Starting several storeys high, this slide will take you and a plus one through various twists and twirls while you hold on to your dear life on your raft.
What makes this slide stand out is its large cylindrical section that breaks the speed of your raft. After cruising through this seemingly relaxing station, you’ll continue your slide at full speed before dropping into the shallow waters—fun, right?
Monsoon Buster

A trip to Wet World Water Park wouldn’t be complete without conquering the Monsoon Buster. This slide will leave you seeing stars after taking you through a couple of steep turns and cascading sections before dropping you into the shallow pool.
What we love about this ride is that it features rapid waters. This means that once you’re strapped onto your raft, you’ll be coming down at full speed with little to no stops!
Thunder River

Thunder River is a great attraction if you’re looking for something that’s still fun but not too over the top. Furthermore, its more laid-back nature makes it a great ride that both young and young at heart can enjoy!
The premise of this ride is simple: you and a plus one will share a raft and you’ll cruise through a lazy river. The river does come with cascading levels and twists but they aren’t anything scary.
Along the cruise, you’ll also encounter sprays that will get you even wetter!
Caribbean Rider

The Caribbean Rider rounds up the list of wacky slides of Water World Water Park and we recommend going on it last! It’s equal parts exciting and scenic, as you’ll be treated to views of the park’s natural greenery while you’re plummeting down the slides at high speeds.
Pirate Cove

The Pirate Cove is one of the best spots in the park if you’re coming with kids. It offers a shallow pool with lots of showers, sprays and buckets that are guaranteed to leave you soaking wet!
There are also some slides in the area that both kids and adults can enjoy. Furthermore, we have a strong feeling that your kids will like the vibrant colours of this attraction!
Bermuda Triangle

Contrary to its name, the Bermuda Triangle in Wet World Water Park isn’t a dark and mysterious area—in fact, it’s the opposite! This attraction is among the most vibrant in the entire park because it’s where a lot of parents along with their kids spend time together.
The shallow pool and the endless shower flowing at the middle island offer tons of fun for kids who aren’t old or tall enough for the adult slides. That’s not to say that adults can get in on the fun though, as it offers a relaxing ambience that’s rare to find in the park.
Snacks Session

If you want to take a break and treat yourself and your kids to something sweet, you should check out the Snacks Session. Here, you’ll find a plethora of sweets on display and the best part is that you can mix and match them for only RM22!
From colourful gummies to chocolate wafers, sour candies and everything in between, this store offers all your childhood classics!
