Velocity is also one for the brave for a 30-foot steep drop. Baron’s Revenge is an 8-metre vertical drop in total darkness and Infinity has laser lights and disco music. Other exciting flumes include the Zambezi drop with 50 metres of slide and Dragon’s Lair with twists and a dragon’s roar at the end.

On the Tennessee Twister and Louisiana Leap, you can race on inflatable tyres through 91 metres of twists and turns. A good introduction to younger children is the Red River roller. The flume has 91 metres of slow twists and turns. Plus other exciting slides.
