Everyone Gets Soaked Both in the Pool and in the Park!

Hidden Missions! Various Ways to Enjoy Summer-only Water Park

Water Park Aqua Adventure, the summer-only pool at Suzuka Circuit.
Water Park Aqua Adventure, the summer-only pool at Suzuka Circuit.

"Water Park Aqua Adventure", a summer-only pool at "Suzuka Circuit", is a paradise for water play for all three generations! While the 30cm-deep "Kids River Pool" is perfect for small children to make their pool debut, "Tube Ride" ―a full-scale water slide that is over 100 meters long― is a popular among adult thrill seekers.

Water Canon, a playground where you can enjoy water fights with your family and friends.

But Aqua Adventure offers more than just water play. Suzuka Circuit is a theme park with many challenges under the slogan "Drive Your Heart to the Challenge." There are a lot of missions hidden in various places all around the Water Park as well. Team up or compete with friends and family to complete them all.

Full of "I DID IT!" Moments: This is How Suzuka Circuit's Water Park Works!

At Twin Slide, riders race to see who can slide down faster.

Even the water slides at Suzuka Circuit come with hidden missions. On the “Twin Slide” ―a racing slide about 10 meters high and 110 meters long― two riders grab a mat and launch side by side, racing to see who hits the finish line first, where a burst of water shoots high in the winner’s lane to celebrate. (* One person slides down each lane at a time. Sliding alone without competing is also allowed. Guest MUST be at least 120cm tall.)

Younger children can try their very first water slide with parents on TobidaSlider.

If you're not yet ready to ride the thrilling slide, please try "TobidaSlider". This water ride can be enjoyed by those who are 105cm or taller. It's a wilder ride than it looks, with two-seater floats sliding down sharp curves. There is a "Power Ring" hidden along the course, and if you found it, shout "Power!" out as loud as you can! The Power Ring absorbs energy from your lively voices and use it to fire Water Canon. The number of cannons fired varies depending on the volume of your voice, and the mission is complete when all the cannons have been fired!

If you find the Power Ring, scream as loud as you can!

* What is a "Power Ring" though? It is a ring-shaped relic that contains the energy needed to move mobility. Several rings are scattered around the "Adventure Village" area, where the Water Park itslef is located as well.

There’s also the biggest Power Ring hiding somewhere in the pool.

Two of them are hidden in the Water Park area, and the biggest one in the park is actually in the pool as well. Here’s a hint: check the map of the Water Park closely when you enter! Good luck out there!

Enjoy the World of Adventure in Your Swimsuit!

Batto’s ADVENTURE VILLAGE, a themed area next to the Water Park where you can have fun in just your swimsuit during summer.

During the summer season, the park provides a campaign titled Attractions in Swimsuits—you can even ride other attractions or visit restaurants in the theme park area without changing! The top pick has to be the themed area called “Batto’s ADVENTURE VILLAGE”. Right next to Water Park Aqua Adventure, it lets you hop on unique ADVENTURE-themed rides for thrills and a real sense of accomplishment. (* Each Attractions in the park has its own ride restrictions.)

Adventure Drive: A roller coaster accelerating with your screams.

Of special note is “Adventure Drive”, a roller coaster that winds through the whole area. It’s the first of its kind in Japan—your speed actually changes depending on how loud you scream! Spot a Power Ring along the course? Scream as loud as you can, and the ring will soak up the energy to accelerate your vehicle. Are you ready to become an adventurer and race through hill slopes, sharp curves, swaying suspension bridges, and ancient ruins? Just a remember: since Adventure Drive's journey includes extremely rough roads, guests MUST be at least aged 7 AND at least 100cm tall to join the journey. Children who are 100cm or taller but aged under 7 are take this adventure ONLY IF accompanied by a supervising guest aged 13 or older.

A number of Power Rings are hidden throughout the area!

Several Power Rings are hidden in Batto's ADVENTURE VILLAGE. They are very important because they give energy to the vehicles you ride! So please try out as many rides as you can and find as many Power Rings as you can!

Rocky Coaster can be enjoyed both forwards and backwards.

"Rocky Coaster" ―located next to Adventure Drive― is also a roller coaster perfect for an exhilarating experience! The last car, car number 6, runs backwards, so if you love thrills, we recommend giving it a try. The Rocky Coaster is also a very fast ride! It will pass by the hidden Power Ring in an instant, so even if you're scared, keep your eyes open and look for the Power Ring! Just a remember: since the Rocky Coaster also runs intesively over a mountain side full of rocks, guests MUST be at least 120cm tall to join the adventure.

Advenboat Frontier: a fully hands-on boat ride.
Advenboat Frontier: a fully hands-on boat ride.

The adventure in this area doesn’t stop on land! On “Advent Boat Frontier”, you’ll steer your own boat through seven tricky straits using only limited energy. The mission is a success if you reach the goal with some energy left. Because it’s fully hands-on, you're the one who control the boat’s speed and direction, and here’s the fun twist: the finishing order might be completely different from how you started! Spot a Power Ring along the way and you can recharge your energy, so keep your eyes open. And for younger guests who aren’t tall enough for Adventure Drive or Rocky Coaster, this frontier boat is the perfect adventure. Guests aged 9 or above can ride alone, and young guests aged 2 to 8 can join the adventure IF accompanied by a supervising guest aged 13 or above, so please give it a try.
