The world’s first Columbia Pictures Theme Park and Pattaya’s newest waterpark is a must-visit for anyone who loves a good thrill! It’s one of our favourite spots, and in this guide, we’ll walk you through the experience, from tickets and rides to food and attractions, so you’ll know what to expect.

Rides & Attractions
1. Hotel Transylvania Zone
Upon entering the park, you’ll step into the world of Hotel Transylvania. This themed zone offers an opportunity to meet and take photos with beloved characters from the film. The area features a slide playground that is ideal for little kids but can also be enjoyed by older visitors. Beware of the bucket of water and don’t stand directly underneath, as the pressure is quite high from our experience!
2. Ghostbusters Zone
The Ghostbusters zone has some of the most thrilling rides in the park! You’ll find three main rides that take you through the dark, how else are you going to catch sight of those ghosts?
- The Proton Stream: This ride is set in total darkness and can accommodate up to four people.
- Ghost Trap Adventure: Similar to the previous ride but designed for a smaller group, this experience guides you through three dark ghost traps and accommodates two riders.
- Slimer Speed Racer: This ride is our favourite, it is designed for two people. However, there are twin tracks available, so if there are four of you, you can pair up and go down at the same time.
3. Jumanji Zone
The Jumanji zone features rides designed for two people. Each ride promises an equally exciting experience, however, the thrill level will vary from person to person.
- The Viper: In our opinion, this ride is the mildest among the three. The slide plunges you into darkness before propelling you out at the end.
- Jungle Stampede: The Jungle Stampede is a classic waterpark ride, with its ‘toilet bowl’ design, creating a fun and spiralling experience for riders.
- Jaguar Mountain: The end of the ride is similar to the Slimer Speeder Racer, but it takes place in an open setting. We found this to be the scariest of the three rides in this zone.
4. Zombieland Zone
This zone is an adrenaline-packed area filled with a variety of single-person slides.
- The Beast: The slide offers a vertical 18-metre free fall experience as the floor drops from beneath your feet.
- Double Tap: A 12-meter free fall slide that sends you on a 360-degree spin through tight curves and corners.
- Zombie Chase: We really enjoyed this one. Although it’s a single-person slide, there’s more than one, so you can go at the same time. For this ride, you need to grab a mat and go face-down. Remember to keep your elbows in!
5. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Zone
Every waterpark has a lazy river, which is great for those who want a break from the rides and some time to relax.
6. Surfs Up Zone
Columbia Pictures Aquaverse has a surf zone where you can try surfing, with two people allowed on the waves at the same time.
7. The Emoji Movie Mini Golf Zone
There is also mini golf, it’s a fun way to dry off before heading home after a day at the water park.
8. Bad Boys Race Club Zone
Alternatively, you can head over to the Bad Boys Race Club and compete in races with your friends and family.
9. Aquaverse Mega Wave Pool Zone
Last but not least, there’s the Aquaverse Wave Pool. Since it’s Columbia Pictures Aquaverse, of course there’s a big screen that could be showing your favourite film. They also occasionally have bubble foam clouds floating in the sky.
Nearby, there’s a stage where kids can join activities at certain times, and you can also enjoy live shows. This place truly offers an all-around exciting experience!
Food
There are numerous food stalls in the waterpark, offering both Thai and Western options. You can find dishes like Pad Thai, hot dogs, and fries, and there are plenty of seats available.
