Russell Stokes, Vice President of Aquaventure Operations at Atlantis Sanya talking about what the waterpark will feature:

“We have a full torrent and typhoon river with Rolba conveyors, ” says Stokes. “It’s probably a first in China. Of course, this being Atlantis we have the signature ‘Leap of Faith’ body slide: you can slide through a shark tank at top speeds.”

There are also some hybrid slides from ProSlide such as the bowl/funnel raft slide ‘Tornado Spin’. He also promises a fair few other slides which are firsts for China.

“Our kids’ Splashers area is also rather large and impressive compared to other parks in the region, ” he adds.

I really wonder what prompted Kerzner to do away with the stylish Atlantis design applied in Dubai and the Bahamas, and have the China franchise turn into a Burj Al Arab style sail structure. The ancient-themed water park will not be good fit with the main building.

My contacts on the project told me about some serious in-fighting as to what the Sanya Atlantis should look like. Many guys were not happy.
