The opening days of the Playa Maya Water Park will be extended from Aug 31 to Sept 5 this summer, sheshantravel.gov.cn announced recently.
The Playa Maya Water Park, which firstly opened in June, 2014 in Shanghai, has some of the world's top aquatic amusement facilities to create a cool fun oasis for visitors.
Playa Maya, the sister park of Shanghai Happy Valley, was built by Shanghai OCT Co at a cost of more than 400 million yuan ($63 million).
Located at the Sheshan National Tourist Resort, the largest open-air water park in East China – at about 120,000 square meters – has nearly 40 aquatic amusement facilities.
The biggest attraction is the Caribbean Beach, a 20,000-sq-m pool that produces waves as high as 3.5 meters, the world's highest man-made waves.
The Big Octopus Slide, with eight rainbow-colored water slides stretching down from a 17.6-meter-tall tower, is sure to make you scream when you dash down the pool at a high speed. The Bumble Bee, a double-track roller coaster, swoops visitors above the water four times.
At the Giant Beast Bowl, you will swirl in water and slide for 123 meters before arriving at the bottom of the bowl.
Most of these exciting facilities are only suitable for visitors taller than 1.3 meters and who weigh no more than 90 kilograms. The park says its water sanitation system recycles and sanitizes about 21,000 cubic meters of water every four to six hours.
In addition, the park offers cultural performances with special stage technologies, such as a laser water curtain and wave making.
