This thrilling tornado water slide is having enthusiasts lining up for the experience. Guests get to head down an enclosed tunnel,  0.75 meters in diameter, 9.5 meters high and approximately 25 meters in length, where they are then swirled round and round before exiting through “the eye of the storm” into a 6 metre splash pool below. This type of slide has proven extremely popular with water park junkies in America and Canada over the past eight years and is the top three of all water slides in the world. Now Durban has its very own!

CEO, Shawn Thompson, said it was uShaka Marine World’s business to lead the way when it came to the ultimate water thrill. “We have to keep surprising our guests to keep them coming back for more”.

According to Thompson, the Tornado slide has joined uShaka’s Plunge Freefall Slide, Kamikaze ride and the Drop Zone, Africa’s highest water slide, amongst others, to create an unforgettable experience at Wet ‘n Wild.  Being the first of its kind in South Africa, this slide will put the popular Durban theme park on a par with the best in the world!

uShaka Marine World continually aims to deliver an unmatched, fun experience to all its visitors, forming an integral part of the overall Durban beachfront offering and in so doing, continues to be a major tourist attraction for both national and international visitors alike.

Last year, the park was rated as “the coolest, fun destination” in KZN by The Sunday Times Generation Next Survey and uShaka strives to maintain this title this year and for the years to come.
