White Water Known for its big rides, big slides and big thrills, KaPau Plummet launches riders on a mega-thrill, heart-pounding dueling-slide ride. The adventure begins as riders step inside a launch capsule atop a four-story tower. Once inside, the countdown begins: 3…2…1 KAPAU! The bottom of each slide drops out, creating a rider freefall in a near-vertical 70-degree plunge through a spiraling loop, speeding down a translucent slide before the final splashdown. In addition to KaPau Plummet, thrill rides include the 7-story Kalani Towers. For a more relaxing adventure, Aloha River is a tropically themed ¼ mile channel, where tube riders float under fountains, misters and geysers.
