The photo below is an ariel view of Waterbom at Kuta, Bali. Yes, those are the awesome water slides from the big tower amongst the tropical trees.
ariel view of Waterbom park at Bali
On our first day at Bali, we spent half a day at this water park. The park has more than 17 water slides, from the pretty relaxing Superbowl to the super thrilling Boomerang and Climax, there’s something for everyone. Check out the 1 minute video to get an idea of what’s at Waterbom.
In the video, Boomerang was probably the scariest of them all. Climax though, is an almost vertical slide that drops you down at a speed of up to 70 km/h. That was scary, and unfortunately camera wasn’t allowed on that slide.
Some rides required a tube (single or double), some a sled mat, and others without any protection.
Park entrance is $26 USD per person, and you can pay that in IDR equivalent too. There are also locker and gazebo facility for extra charge. Meals are at least 3 times the price of what you’d expect from outside (though the fried rice I ordered were plenty delicious), but hey it’s a theme park.
We had an awesome half-day at Waterbom, and I think it is a place worth visiting for the thrill seekers. I only wish that the water slide tower comes with an escalator, repeatedly walking up to some 4-5 stories high can get tiring after a while.
Again, watch the video, and check out what we did for the rest of the day at Kuta too.
Oh yeah, this is the water slide I’ve been meaning to visit. Heh.
Looks like a lot of fun. I love vertical slides, can’t beat the speed you build up from that. 🙂
Huai Bin: yeah, thrill seekers welcomed 😀
Uhh while verticals are good for speed (speed = good), I can never handle the heart-in-mouth feeling so I tend to go for rides with a bit more lateral Gs.
Still, you need something to build up the speed.
Yee Hou: only 2.5 G, come on! 😛
Hazel Ong’s expression at 0:30 is damn funny ahahha.
Hmm not a fan of theme parks, but I MIGHT want to go for this!
Yee Hou: hahaha yah best expression ever!
HAHA. Yea.. I slow mo-ed that part just for y’all. 🙄
How come i didn’ tknow of this place???
Michelle: now you do! 😀
that is really expensive leh. Sunway cheaper and nearer! hhaha
eiling: haha, Sunway lagoon doesn’t have these kinda slides!
the slides look pretty cool.
Myhorng: cool but tiring climbing those stairs..
Slides are awesomest…worth the climb I’d say. But come to think of it, why couldn’t they just build elevators for these things eh?
Anyway, just want to inform you that I’m back to blogging again after an on-off period and I’ve recently migrated over to http://alilfatmonkey.com. Please do update your RSS or blogroll. thanks!
