Welcome to a real-life Temple of Doom where you can re-enact Indiana

'The Leap of Faith was built to provide guests with the ultimate
experience.
'No other slide compares to the exhilarating sensation and rush of
adrenaline you're left with after going down the Leap of Faith.
'The feeling of being dropped at a near perpendicular angle and flying
past sharks is something you can't find anywhere else. |
|

|
'The slide is called the Leap of Faith because the bottom of the slide
is covered with a mist and cannot be seen, hence to drop down, it
requires a true leap of faith.'
Aquaventure is a vast 141-acre water park containing 7 million gallons
of water, a mile-long river ride, and a choice of 12 pools.
Alongside the life-size replica of a Mayan Temple, there is a 131-foot
tall Power Tower, a 7-acre snorkeling lagoon, miles of white sand
beaches and more. |

'People love the Leap of Faith and certainly go through a range of
emotions,' said Mark.
'Guests are first and foremost very excited, but typically grow anxious
as they wait for their turn.
'Nerves tend to kick in once guests realize they are up next, and after
a few minutes of fear and giddy nervousness.

 |
|
'Then they finally launch themselves down the slide and experience some
of the most fun you can imagine.
'It's truly an exhilarating experience.' |
