 Ramayana Water Park - Overview | |
Ramayana Water Park (Thai:สวนน้ำรามายณะ) is awater park inPattaya (Sattahip District,Chonburi province,Thailand), which is a 2-hour drive fromBangkok and 15 kilometers south of Pattaya City. It is one of the biggestwater theme parks inSoutheast Asia.[1]
Construction of Ramayana Water Park was started in 2011, and the ground breaking ceremony took place in November 2011.[2] The 1.7 bnTHB project was completed in May 2016, and the official opening took place on May 5, 2016.[3][4][5]
Ramayana, with an area of more than 18 ha (45acres / 100rai), is one of Asia’s biggest waterparks. Ramayana Water Park is located 20 km south of centralPattaya, close to the big Buddha image (Khao Chi Chan) and next toSilverlake Vineyard.
Ramayana offers 21waterslides, and some of them are unique, like two interacting slides (one of them having a diameter of 6 meters), a Masterblaster, named Aquacoaster, where water jets push riders up seven times, and which has been built as a double slide to allow two groups of riders simultaneously, and a unique river slide which ends in alazy river. The 21 water slides include a variety of thrill slides (like a Freefall andAquaLoop, where riders embark in a launch capsule), competing slides (like the 4 Mat Racers or the 2 Aquacoaster), raft slides (Python and Aquaconda), a Boomerango, and some gentle alternatives like Serpentine, Spiral or River Slide. All slides are supplied byWhiteWater West, from Canada.[6][7]
A 600-meter longlazy river, with integrated waves, bubbles and waterfalls, takes visitors on a ride around a natural hill. The park’s theming allows guests to explore an ancient city, with caves, sculptures and other remainders of “a long forgotten place”. This theming has been provided by ATECH International Thailand,[8] which also contributed theming to other famous theme parks, includingDisneyland Hong Kong and Ripley’s. Ramayana has a doublewave pool with a beach 490 feet (150 m) wide, where one part of the pool can be used with tubes, and the other part without. In addition, there is a relax pool with integrated pool bar and a 60 meter long activity pool.
Ramayana offers two dedicated areas for children, which are also unique to this park. One play area, with a variation of spray attractions, is specifically designed for smaller children. The other one, with slides, water games and a climbing area, has been designed for slightly older kids. Children can also use all pools and thelazy river, as well as some other attractions out of the water, like caves or a maze.
Ramayana sources its water from its own nine wells, which provide drinking-quality water, and operates with a filtration system provided byPentair andWayfit. Ramayana employs more than 100 certified lifeguards.
Ramayana also offers attractions on dry land, like afloating market built into the natural lake, a sculpture, a walk along the banks of a natural river, a sand play area, a maze (labyrinth), waterfalls, and encounters with real elephants. The park is located within a natural environment of surrounding lakes (neighbouring the Silver Lake), hills and greenery.
