Splash Out Waterpark
About the Park
Splash Out is a new waterpark that has opened in the Kuah district of Langkawi. It packs an assortment of fun and games that you can enjoy with your family and friends. The park is quite expansive and is almost the size of seven football grounds put together, nearly five hectares. They have a total of twelve rides and water slides at the moment, that include plenty of fun rides for kids as well as some challenging ones for adults.
The waterpark is one of its kind in the area and was built by the executive chairman of the famous Halim Mazmin Group, Tan Sri Halim Mohammad. The sprawling park claims to have had a budget of a whopping RM sixty million behind its completion.

The Main Attractions and Rides
One of the key attractions here is a water slide that towers almost six storied high complete with a turbulence effect which is sure to give a heart pounding experience even to the most weathered thrill-seeker. They make a reference to the Hollywood thriller “The Perfect Storm” and claim to give a similar experience of turbulence in the high waters and plunging at forty degrees, as was shown in the movie.
If you can stomach more of the rush, be sure to try another ride called the “Ragin’ Racers”. This too keeps the momentum going and includes a downward scramble at the speed of around fifty km per hour all the way to ground level. It is a common excitement among the riders to compete with family members and friends to see who stops farthest from the base of the ride.
Besides these, there are several other equally thrilling rides and slides where you are plummeted downward coupled with exciting twists, turns and at varying speeds. On some such sharp drops, you might even experience wonderful visual effects, such as the one in “Poseidon’s Revenge”. If you are further up for it, you can experience similar mind boggling and nerve racking thrill as riding five foot waves at the “Wild Water” or on such rides as Shipwreck Falls, Splash- Tacular, Splash- Python, Rainbow Rider and Splash- Twister.

The fun doesn’t end with these high-powered, thrill inducing and adrenaline pumping rides. The park also includes gentler rides for those who are not up for the plummet just yet and even for those who want to slow it down after that roller coaster. You can spend a relaxed fun time with family and children at their various water playgrounds which feature calmer rides.
There is the “Wild Water” attraction which actually includes six different types of waves in a pool that doubles up as a beach with all the undulating effects. Another great attraction that you can enjoy with your entire family is the “River of Life” where you can calmly float around the entire park on two-seater buoys. You can also experience the splash of your life under the “Big Splash Kingdom” which gushes down around 250 litres of water every couple of minutes from a massive barrel positioned overhead.
Leave the kids free at “Sprinkle Island” which has a perpetual “rain” feature and gives the feel of a nice drench in a sudden downpour. With gigantic water sprinkler systems and water jetting out in all directions, it is a perfect cooling off spot for the little ones.
Dining at the Park
The park does not allow outside food and drinks within its premises (except for food for infants and others with specific medical conditions). You will find a number of food venues offering mouthwatering delicacies, splattered throughout the park.
