Valley of Waves
The Valley of Waves is the central feature of the Lost City at Sun City. It is one of the most advanced water parks in the world, dominated by the Roaring Lagoon, a 6 500-square metre (7560-square yards) wave pool with a palm-fringed beach. Hydraulic mechanisms can generate a 1,8 metre (6 feet 8 inches) wave every 90 seconds. When waves are not generated, a bobbing cycle is generated in a diamond pattern. All Resort residents enter the park free of charge by presenting their resident cards. Day visitors pay an entrance fee to the park.
The water park has five exhilarating flume rides:
From the aptly named Temple of Courage, swimmers drop a heart-stopping 17 meters (57 feet) down a 70-meter (233 feet) chute, hurtle under a bridge and splash into a small pool at the foot of the slide.
The Tarantula and The Scorpion are body slides, and The Viper and The Mamba are flume rides where the swimmers float on large inflated tubes.
The Lazy River is a gentle tube ride that flows endlessly round a kidney-shaped island.
The island offers an ethnic village with a clothing store, a sweet shop and a fast food outlet, as well as a pool and playground for children.
The Royal Bath is a swimming pool that is also open to both day visitors and Resort residents. The large pool is adjacent to an amphitheatre, which can accommodate an audience of over 800 people. On the pool deck the Observatory Bar offers exotic cocktails and is covered by an antique dome.
Facilities at the Valley of Waves include well-equipped changing rooms, a locker service and a clinic for treating minor medical emergencies. In spite of the breathtaking nature of some of the rides, safety is paramount and lifeguards are on duty in the park throughout the day.
The Valley of Waves is open daily from 10h00 until 17h00 in winter and 09h00 until 18h00 in summer. The Bridge of Time is the route to and from the Valley of Waves, through the magnificent Kong Gates onto the Monkey Spring Plaza. This bridge erupts every hour in a display of volcanic activity. The Botanical Garden Trails go around and through the different forests surrounding the Valley of Waves, a Rain Forest, Baobab Forest, the Jacaranda and the Tropical Forest. All contain rare plant varieties. The Spider Web Bridge (sway bridge), Adventure Paths, Hidden Cave Water Falls and other exciting walkways are in the Garden.
