1. Why It's the "World's Largest Rooftop Waterpark"
Most waterparks sit at ground level. Studio City moved the entire waterpark to the 23rd-floor rooftop — 5,000 ㎡, 16 slides, a wave pool, lazy river, kids' zone and an indoor/outdoor mix. Why "largest"? Because by rooftop area it's number one in the world. Plus you get the panoramic view across Cotai while you ride.
Since opening in June 2023 it has become Macau's single most-searched activity (~14,000 monthly searches). The headline is Aquatic Coaster — the world's longest water coaster (300 m), part slide, part track ride, three times more thrilling than a standard slide.
2. Top 8 Must-Dos
- Aquatic Coaster — world's longest water coaster, 4-rider raft.
- Mat Racer — 6-lane head-first race slide.
- Tornado — giant funnel slide, big drops and weightless moments.
- Boomerango — half-pipe up-and-back, the most intense.
- Lazy River — 500 m loop around the park.
- Wave Pool — 1,000 ㎡ wave generator, big sets every 15 min.
- Kids Play Zone — 12 m tipping bucket, dumps every 5 min.
- Sky Bar — rooftop cocktails for the sunset cool-down.
