Tourists get a rare view up through the water from the imitation sea bed, 'The feeling of being dropped at a near perpendicular angle and flying past sharks is something you can't find anywhere else. 'The slide is called the Leap of Faith because the bottom of the slide is covered with a mist and cannot be seen, hence to drop down, it requires a true leap of faith.' Aquaventure is a vast 141-acre water park containing 7 million gallons of water, a mile-long river ride, and a choice of 12 pools. Alongside the life-size replica of a Mayan Temple, there is a 131-foot tall Power Tower, a 7-acre snorkeling lagoon, miles of white sand beaches and more.

'Nerves tend to kick in once guests realize they are up next, and after a few minutes of fear and giddy nervousness. 'Then they finally launch themselves down the slide and experience some of the most fun you can imagine. 'It's truly an exhilarating experience.'
