WATER PARK AWAITS YOU AT SUNNYWATER PARK AWAITS YOU AT SUNNY LAGOONLAGOON

A day of wild adventure awaits you all at Sunny Lagoon Water Park which opens this weekend. You are guaranteed ‘the experience of a lifetime.’

Visitors can expect thrilling new water rides such as the Combo Challenge and the Big Climb. The Combo Challenge is Malaysia’s first speed racer water slide. You can feel the ultimate high as you race with your friends head-to-head down to the finish line at a speed of up 40 km per hour. If that is not enough, the brave ones can take the Big Climb. We can claim to be the world’s first Big Climb. This inverted double tube climb steeply drops two riders at one time from as high as fifteen meters and shoots them up to a height of eight meters, then see-saws them backward and forward before coming to a dramatic stop.

The management of Sunny Lagoon has assured that all rides have complied with the safety standards of the World Water Park Association. However, children who want to take part must be accompanied by adults.

Aside from the heart-stopping rides, there are other attractions for the whole family. Children and adults can enjoy the car ride, merry-go-round and train ride. Make sure you visit Sunny Lagoon this weekend. You will not be disappointed. Sunny Lagoon opens from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tickets are priced at RM20 for adults and RM 10 for children below 12.
