- Chariots Chase – Race down this 70m slide and see who picks up the most speed. You’ll be lying face first on a mat.
- Drop to Atlantis – Not for the faint hearted! This slide has a big climb, and a big drop at the end – but it’s worth it! This slide is for 3 people at a time only.

My favourite slides? It would probably have to be Drop to Atlantis and Thunderbolt from the sheer thrill and fear because I’m a little soft. I could have done the Serpentine ones over and over again though – they were real fun.
