You don’t need use the humid weather as an excuse for a splashing good time. But hey, it feels super satisfying to spend the day at a water theme park especially when the temperature is scorching hot. Here are 5 fun facts about the upcoming attraction:

The current holder of the world’s longest water slide belongs to Action Park in Vernon New Jersey, United States. At 1975 feet (0.6km) long, it was awarded the title by Guinness World Records in July 2015. However, due to a lengthy process with initial test rides, it was only open to public in 2016.

It won’t be long before Malaysia overtakes it 😉

3. Riders will be chair-lifted to a height of 420m to the top
