The plunge takes you through a series of twisting and winding power jets, which also originate from the Ziggurat. The Surge and Stinger are other rides which are certainly not for the faint of heart. Apart from these there are many connecting rides which also take you through a leisurely observation tour through the lagoons which house a large variety of sea animals.
