Main attractions at Aquarama

Kamikaze – the legendary vertical drop

The Kamikaze is Aquarama’s most famous slide and definitely one for thrill-seekers. With a near-vertical drop, you’ll pick up serious speed in seconds. It’s quick, intense and guaranteed to wake you up after a late night at the festival.

Black Hole – twists in total darkness

The Black Hole is a fully enclosed tube slide filled with sudden bends, flashes of light and total darkness. It’s unpredictable, fast and one of the most popular rides in the whole park.

Multi-lane slides – race your mates

If you’re heading to Aquarama with a group, the multi-lane slides provide a perfect side-by-side race. Pick a lane, push off and see who reaches the bottom first. Great energy, lots of laughing and ideal for daytime fun before the festival.

Space Bowl & whirlpool-style slides

Some of Aquarama’s most iconic attractions send you down a steep chute and into a giant bowl or funnel where you spin round before dropping into the pool. Short, wild and seriously addictive – these are a must-do for thrill-seekers.

Wave pool and chill-out zones

If you need something gentler, Aquarama’s wave pools and lakes are ideal for lounging in the sun. Grab a sunbed, float in the water and recover from the night before – it’s a great way to reset during Benicassim week.
