The concept

The League of Adventurers is investigating the secret of Roaring Mountain, the highest mountain on Adventure Isle. The Arbori believe a crocodile-like beast lives there, Q’aráq. You join the trip to Field Camp Beta, but a fallen tree sends your raft into the mountain. According to the park, the mountain has one of the tallest man-made waterfalls in Asia.

The Experience

In the cave the roaring becomes deafening. You race towards the monster, feel its hot breath and duck as it snaps its teeth. If you escape, you plunge through a lava tunnel into a whirlpool, past spouting geysers and steaming springs. The park mentions sharp turns, high speed and sudden drops.

Exciting for little ones

Cooling off in Adventure Isle

On a warm day Roaring Rapids is wonderful; on a cold day you'd better think about dry clothes first. Afterwards, climb over the same mountain at Challenge Trails at Camp Discovery.
