La Descente du Nil
La Descente du Nil is a large water slide in the Egyptian zone, which was expanded in 2026. You slide down in a ring towards the sacred spring, under the watchful eye of Hâpy, the god of the Nile. On the park's Dutch-language website it is called De Afdaling van de Nijl.
The concept
The attraction tells the legend of the Nile. From the covered starting point, you slide down with the whole ring all the way to the source of the river. At the entrance, a large blue statue of Hâpy stands among the palm trees.
The Experience
You sit with several people in a round ring, which slides at quite a speed through the bends of the track. You spin around, swing up against the walls and end up in the water at the bottom. Exciting, but suitable for families.

Expect to get wet
This is a water ride. In cooler weather, bring something dry or stow your belongings safely.
Shorter queues
This attraction is part of Filotomatix, the park's paid queue-jump system. You buy it online or in the app, on top of your ticket (as of November 2026).
With the family
From 1.00 metre you can ride when accompanied. That way you can go together with younger children.
Visitor information
From 1.00 metre you can ride when accompanied. From 1.30 metres you can ride alone. This attraction is part of Filotomatix, the park's paid queue-jump system. You buy it online or in the app, on top of your ticket (as of November 2026). With Baby Switch, parents don't have to queue twice: one parent rides while the other waits with the child, then rides afterwards without queuing. Ask the staff member. Wheelchair users enter via the exit or the Filotomatix entrance.
