The show’s sound quality has been enhanced by doubling the number of channels used in the attraction’s theater. Through the use of this dynamic three dimensional sound system, the sound effects have exceeded the level of “sounds” with increased depth and breadth in direction and distance and successfully created a fully immersive experience making guests feel as if they are in the middle of the action.

More amazing Hollywood quality stunt action! More intense explosions! A high dive through a giant fireball! And more extreme jet-ski action!

Along with the fully upgraded sound effect system, are the new exciting special effects using fire and water, and the real thrill of WaterWorld; the amazing stunt action. WaterWorld’s symbolic stunt, the “high dive” into water has been intensified to a 13 meter tall drop.
