WOW, AWESOME, TERRIFIC .............all words to describe our wonderful 4
day experience in ‘Atlantis’ waterpark. As stated earlier, Bill
off Windward Passage had guest tickets for us all to experience
the waterpark and for 3 days, we definitely made the most of it!
  Atlantis Marina, where slips cost from
anywhere between U$4-12 per foot!
  The Dig is a series of
aquariums located beneath the lobby of the Royal Towers and is the world's
largest open air marine habitat. Hundreds of different aquatic species can be
spotted in the Dig's various tanks such as angelfish, sharks, manta rays etc.
The Dig is to provides an insight into the legendary destroyed city of Atlantis.
   The Royal Towers architecture has
magnificent murals encircling the colossal lobby dome
  Dazzling decor and brilliant glassworks
throughout Atlantis
 One of the many magnificent
pools
   The Mayan Temple has 4 major slides, but
the Leap of Faith is a near vertical plunge through a shark tank tunnel, exiting
at lightening speed into a shallow pool!
We did this slide several times, which
only took a few seconds!
 The
Current is a mile long, 3-million-US-gallon
water ride complete with 4ft rolling waves and artificial tidal
surges. There are 2 conveyors which transport you up the river and
onto the Power Tower slides. You just simply sit on one of these inner
tube rings and hold on!
    The 120ft Power Tower includes The Abyss
body slide, which drops 200ft in total darkness. At the top you get into a
tube (like an MRI scanner) and wait for the red light to go green. Quite
terrifying in the dark and you get ‘spat out’ and dropped into a cave pool at
the bottom...definitely not for the faint hearted.
  Overlooking Nassau harbour and
in the grounds of the
waterpark were some fabulous features including this flying fish water
feature
 All relaxing in one of the many
restaurants in Atlantis
