Daily performances add to the merriment of this lively and colourful theme park. You'll definitely want to spend a whole day here.

Race down the Congo Challenge - head first - at a 40km/h speed! If you dare, take on the challenge of the Cameroon Climb, the world's first double tube water ride that shoots up to a height of eight metres. For families, the gigantic African Pythons ride promises unforgettable fun as you spin around in loops on a water slide.

Next, you can surf the waves that can go up to eight feet in height at the world's largest man-made Jeffrey's Bay Surf Wave Pool. There's even a spectacular erupting volcano in the background. Then explore Elephant Walk, where huge elephant sculptures guard a magnificent lake, and perhaps meet a fire-eater and African tribal dancers doing a rain dance at the happening Zulu Walk. From the raging Waters of Africa, hoist sail for the amazing Wild Wild West - the land of cowboys and Red Indians.

Howdy Cowboys and Cowgirls! Discover the American frontier town with wooden facades and totem poles, like those you see in the movies. And as you stroll down the streets of the Wild Wild West, don't be surprised to see Apache Indians and saloon dancing girls in fluffy skirts.

There are also spectacular rides to enjoy. Be prepared to get wet on the exhilarating Niagara Falls Flume Ride. Swirl around in the raging waters of the Grand Canyon River Rapids. For the fearless, nothing beats the 360-degree swings of the Tomahawk, where the world goes upside down. Buffalo Bill Coaster, Apache Pots and Butch Cassidy's Trail provide great fun for the whole family. That's not all.

At the World of Adventure, more excitement and thrills are in store.

Mines Wonderland

Marvels & Fun
Have you ever seen a White Tiger? It is so rare that there are only about 50 of them in the whole world. Just imagine, in The Mines Wonderland, you can come face to face with not one, not two, but three White Tigers! Altogether, there are 13 tigers in the Animal Kingdom, including the rich brown Malayan and Bengal tigers.

Visitors can get to see these cool cats by taking a ride in the cute Unity Train from Unity Station. If you are interested in tigers, drop by to the Secrets of the Tiger, a gallery of interesting tiger facts and photographs.

Also in the Animal Kingdom are white and blue peacocks, silver and golden pheasants, a cuddly Sun Bear (the smallest in the bear family), gibbons, deer, cockatoos and other interesting animals. You can even teach the Brazilian parrots to say your name!

Another amazing sight that will take your breath away is the spectacular Musical Fountain in the Amphitheatre, said to be the best in Southeast Asia. As the music starts, plumes of water shoot up and dance in the air, while multi-coloured lights help to create a water fantasy. You'll definitely want to see it again; fortunately, there are two Musical Fountain shows in the evening. Then there is the stage entertainment featuring acrobatics, a magic show and a puppet show from China.

The many water and land rides are bound to thrill the young and the young-at-heart. In the water taxi, you can sit back and enjoy the cool evening breeze and the colourful lights as the boat cruises round the 150-acre lake that used to be the largest open cast tin mine in the world. The giant swan sculptures by the lake, all lit up with thousands of coloured lights, look oh so pretty.

On the far side of the lake are the lights of the Palace of the Golden Horses deluxe hotel. From the lake to the lovely garden, and here visitors can enjoy the spinning Garden Boat Ride that glides on a canal. Nearby is the pony ride, which is a wonderful experience for young children.

In Kamee Wonderland are more great rides such as the thrilling Balloon Race, where you can get lifted off the ground as the balloon rises and rotates. Next, let the Ferris Wheel, one of the highest, take you to the top of the world! Then it's off for more fun in the bumper cars, while smaller children can zip around in the battery cars. Don't forget to whoosh down on the Roller Coaster, which is mild enough for small children, and go for a ride in the vintage cars for a feel of how tiny cars used to be a long time ago. Cool down at the minus-10-degree Snow House and you'll see fascinating ice carvings of a dragon, a tiger, the Great Wall of China and other shapes. For a last look at the park before it closes for the night, hop on the Road Tram that takes you around the park to see the various attractions again.

Wet World Shah Alam

Beat The Heat!
When the sun is up and there's only so much fun you can have in the swimming pool, it's a very good idea to head for the Wet World Shah Alam. Facing the scenic Shah Alam Lake, the Wet World Shah Alam is conveniently located in the Klang Valley, which helps to make it one of the most popular recreational spots in Selangor.

The bright colours of the water park - red, pink and yellow - scream fun and excitement. The most talked-about ride is the exhilarating Monsoon Buster, one of the longest uphill water coaster rides in Asia! You'll find yourself propelled forward on your floatable for some 200 metres by water jets. Pure exhilaration! Try it once, and you will be back for more. Young children accompanied by an adult can also ride the Monsoon Buster.

For team games, more than 10 people can slide down the open Giant Slide. It's that wide! More speedy challenges await at the Tunnel Water Coaster, a closed ride, and the Big Splash, a half-closed and half-open slide. Waiting for you at Neptune's Challenge are 10 floatables and you have to walk across the water on these floats. Lose your balance and you'll get a dunking, but that's the fun of the game. Get ready to get very wet!

Kids have their own play area, where the attractions include the Seashell Kiddy Slide and the red and yellow Submarine Slide. Some of them will be happy just splashing about in the pool, or paddling in the Lazy River. You can play until closing time, and really get your money's worth at the water park.
