Vana Nava has been designed as a tropical jungle with adventure and wet zones. The Chang Surf Zone, a climbing wall, the 18-metre-high Free Fall, Aqualoop, Boomerango and the Abyss are among the park’s scintillating experiences.
The names of the different attractions offer insights as to what thrill-seekers can expect. The Abyss, for example, sends people on a series of vertical spins before seemingly dropping into a funnel at what seems like the speed of sound.
Tamer attractions are the Lazy River, Coconut Beach and the Wave Pool. In total, the 20-rai (eight-acre) site has 19 water rides. Around 200,000 plants, shrubs and trees are onsite. Other bonuses are cutting-edge water treatment equipment and a radio-frequency identification system (RFID) which tracks visitors and ensures safety.
The RFID requires visitors to don wristbands when they enter the park. Vana Nava general manager Mike Fijas said the facility had been launched with the aim of giving thrill-seekers the time of their lives, but with safety of paramount importance.
