Travel information for Aquopolis Salou
Aquopolis attractions
Are you one of those brave people who are not afraid of anything or one of those who prefer to take life calmly and enjoy it without any surprises? At Aquópolis Salou there are attractions for all tastes. They are divided into three: high excitement, moderate and children's rides. These are all of them.
- Splash (strong). You will go down on a board at a great height and you will be able to participate with your friends in races on the water. A 30-metre ride at full speed that will fly by in no time at all. At the end there is a refreshing surprise waiting for you: an incredible splash!
- Kamikaze (strong). One of the most intense Aquópolis Salou attractions you will find. It is impressive, you will slide down a large slide that is the emblem of the park, as it can be seen from almost everywhere. You'll quickly reach the end, reaching speeds of up to 50 kilometres per hour. If you bring your legs and arms together as much as possible, you will be able to go down at a higher speed.
- Huracán (strong). Another of the most spectacular and intense Aquópolis attractions: closed hydro-tubes with which you will go down as if you were in free fall, at great speed, until you end up in a surprising splash. You can reach up to 40 kilometres per hour.
- Boomerang (strong). Recommended for those who do not suffer from vertigo. You will experience the sensation of being on the edge of a cliff and you will jump from a height of 10 metres. Do you dare?
- Black Hole (strong). Another thrilling proposal included in the Aquópolis ticket price: you enter a building in which you will follow a current, without seeing anything, and decorated with light effects. Mind-blowing.
- Tyrolean traverse (medium). Feel like a real adventurer crossing an inaccessible tropical jungle where the worst punishment is a good dip.
