ACTIVITIES

From spectacular pools to sublime beaches, Atlantis’ twenty swimming areas and miles of white-sand beaches add

to the resort’s allure. More than 20 million gallons of water course through lushly landscaped scenery, allowing for

endless hours of thrill-seeking adventure or lazy river-rafting relaxation.

WATERPLAY

AQUAVENTURE

Atlantis offers unparalleled fun and

excitement with a water experience

unlike any other in the world. Introducing

Aquaventure. You will enjoy innovative

slides and rides that redefine water fun

allowing you to enjoy the water in a

variety of ways all day long without ever

leaving it:

• Experience the Power Tower – the

grand centerpiece of the Atlantis

waterscape – at a towering 120 feet tall,

four adrenaline-inducing water slides

include:

• The Abyss, a 200-foot body slide that

descends a staggering 50-foot near-

vertical drop and plunges into a lagoon

swarming with alligator gar.

• The Drop spirals through the center of

the Power Tower as riders encounter

the momentary fear of sliding into an

optical illusion projected in the slide

tube.

• The Falls drops down 58 feet to ground

level, then propels riders up again

through twisting turns.

• The Surge, accessible from the stairs

at Power Tower’s top level, features a

camel-back drop into a cavern where a

flash flood pushes the inner-tubers to

the end of the ride.

• Surrounding the Power Tower is The

Current, a mile-long expedition with

4-foot waves pushing guests along in

underground tunnels, rapids and slides.

• Climb the 6-story Mayan Temple and

plunge down one of five rides, including

The Leap of Faith, which propels

adventure seekers on an near vertical

drop that ultimately passes through a

shark-filled lagoon.

• Guests can race one another, two-

at-a-time, down the twin highspeed

Challenger Slides and their speeds are

displayed on time clocks located at the

bottom of the slides to determine the

winner.

• On the 5-story corkscrew Serpent

Slide, riders travel on a tube at high

speeds, twisting and turning through

the dark core of the Mayan Temple

and culminating with a leisurely

pass through a clear acrylic tunnel

submerged in a shark-filled lagoon.

• The Jungle Slide takes guests on a

thrilling high-speed safari through

exotic jungles and caves built into the

heart of the Mayan Temple.

• For a tranquil pursuit, Enjoy The Lazy

River Ride, lounging on tubes while a

gentle current slowly propels you along

a quarter-mile loop.

Guests must be at least 48 inches tall to

ride the water slides in the Power Tower

and Myan Temple.
