Victoria’s biggest and longest waterslide to open at Adventure Park

Victoria’s biggest and longest waterslide to open at Adventure Park
October 31, 2017

Adventure Park has announced that its new, much anticipated epic family waterslide, The Tornado, is to open on 11th November 2017.

One of the most exhilarating waterslides in the world and the only ride of its type in Victoria, The Tornado is 205 metres in length and towers over 24 metres high. When operational it will also include a large splash pool and 24 metre tower.

Groups of up to four riders will twist and turn their way around 360 degree loops, gaining serious speed before the raft suddenly drops, exploding into a seven and half storey funnel. On the ride, people will experience moments of zero gravity weightlessness and intense swings launching riders nearly vertical on the massive funnel walls.

The new Tornado is part of an $8 million water park expansion which will include hundreds of new sun lounges and cabanas, and another new feature waterslide built for 2018/19 season.

Looking forward to the opening, Adventure Park Managing Directors Leanne and Carla Salmon explained “this mega fast and furious family funnel water ride is like nothing you've ever seen in Victoria.”
