Aruba Opens Water Park, Biggest in Caribbean and Latin America
DECEMBER 19, 2008. With a $14 million investment, the 28,000 square foot water park features exciting rides including the Dragon Revenge, a dual slide; and the Buccaneer Tower, a tube tower with slides for two and four rides. These slides have radical twists and kamikaze dips, domed funnels and an extremely competitive toboggan. One of the main attractions of Morgan's Island is a 21-meter vertical drop, which is considered the second tallest, second fastest, single-person, free-fall waterslide in the world.
Other highlighted attractions include giant double wave pools with a wraparound lounging area for families, and a giant kids-only pool area with water spouts and slides designed to entertain children while parents can relax in the sun. Water park amenities include showers, changing and locker rooms, a game parlor, dinning options and an infirmary.
