The jungle safari is managed by a computerised system that ensures equal distribution of vehicles all over the ride. Sliding through the twists and turns of the Jungle Safari is an exhilarating experience in itself. The Black Hole is another exciting high speed ride that goes through twists and turns from a height of 40 feet above the ground. It is one of the best adventure rides in Aquatica. The Raft Slide is a magnificent rubber raft slide that takes the riders through loops and curves all the way from the top of the ride to a shallow pool at the bottom. The cyclone is a thrilling bumpy ride and as its name suggests it blasts down the participant from a height of 40 feet down a long tunnel and spins them through a funnel before they exit through the eye of the storm into a pool underneath. One can go in for high speed, 40 feet vertical free fall drop into a ride that's elevated 75 degrees to replicate a Pendulum drop. The Park also has a 40 feet tall multilane mat racer where guests can get a high speed mat slide.
