The Valley of Waves

　　          Introduction         The Valley of Waves is the most important theme park in Lost City. It can be reached either by crossing the Bridge of Time from the Entertainment Centre or by descending the steps from the Palace Hotel and passing the Roman Theatre.     At the heart of the Valley of Waves is the 6,500-square-meter Wave Pool, surrounded by palm trees, sandy beaches, thatched-roof pavilions, and sun loungers to create a tropical seaside atmosphere. The hydraulic wave system generates an average wave every 90 seconds, with waves reaching up to 1.8 meters in height, and can also produce fascinating diamond-patterned wave ripples on the water's surface when there are no large waves.     For those seeking more thrills than sunbathing and surfing, the water slides offer an exciting option. The water park features five slides, the most thrilling of which is the Temple of Courage—a 70-meter-long slide featuring a near-vertical 17-meter tube section.     A more relaxing option is the Lazy River, where visitors can float along the gentle current on an inner tube, passing under small bridges, diving underground, and even stopping off at the Folk Village for a rest whenever they wish.        Admission / Opening Hours         Opening Hours: Summer (9:00–18:00), Winter (10:00–17:00); closed for maintenance in May and June.     Admission: Adults R60, children under 12 R35, children under 3 free. The ticket includes access to both the Valley of Waves and the open-air theatre. Hotel guests enjoy free entry with their room key.
