Among all the attractions at Siam Park in Costa Adeje, Tenerife, the Singha water slide is one of the park’s greatest achievements. Often referred to as the Siam Park Singha Ride or simply The Singha, this is not a regular slide but a full-scale water coaster, combining high-speed curves, drops, and even uphill sections. It’s fast, innovative, and for many visitors, the most unforgettable experience of the park.
If you’re planning your day, start with our main Siam Park guide for a full overview of the park, then make sure Singha is at the top of your list.

What makes Singha unique?
The Singha ride was introduced as one of the park’s newer attractions and quickly became a favourite. What sets it apart is its use of hydromagnetic technology — powerful water jets that push riders uphill as well as down. While most water slides rely solely on gravity, Singha creates the feeling of a roller coaster on water.
The slide includes three steep descents and fourteen tight turns, with rafts reaching speeds of up to 65 km/h (40 mph). Many people search “how fast is Singha Siam Park?” and the answer is simple: it is one of the fastest water coasters in the world. Watching it from the ground is impressive enough, but the real thrill comes from being inside the raft as it whips around bends and surges unexpectedly uphill.

The ride experience
Riding Singha feels different from any other slide in the park. You launch in a two-person raft and are immediately pulled into a sequence of sharp turns and sudden accelerations. The water jets keep the raft moving at a pace that never seems to slow, throwing you into curves with surprising force before sending you uphill in a way that feels impossible on a water ride.
From our own experience, what makes Singha stand out is its intensity. Unlike the Tower of Power, which delivers a single moment of terror in a near-vertical drop, Singha stretches the adrenaline over a much longer ride. Every turn feels slightly different, and the mix of speed, curves, and water spray makes it unpredictable and exhilarating from start to finish.
As one visitor described it in a review: “Singha feels like a roller coaster made of water. It’s fast, wild, and unlike anything I’ve done before.” Another said: “We rode it four times in a row. Every turn surprises you — it’s addictive.”
Height and safety restrictions
To ride the Singha water slide, you must be at least 1.25 metres tall (about 4 ft 1 in). The slide is designed for pairs, so solo riding isn’t possible, every raft carries two people. There’s no official minimum age, but given the speed and intensity, it’s generally better suited for older children, teenagers, and adults. Lifeguards are strict about safety, making sure riders are seated correctly, holding the handles, and balanced before departure. Loose items such as glasses, jewellery, or phones are not allowed.

Tips from our visits
Because Singha is one of the most popular rides in Siam Park, queues tend to grow quickly, especially during high season. If you want to ride it more than once, the best time is in the morning or by using a Fast Pass. We also noticed that sitting at the front of the raft gives a clearer view of the track ahead, while the back position creates a slightly wilder sensation with more lift on the drops. Either way, the ride feels different every time, which is why so many visitors, ourselves included, go back for repeat rides.
Watching Singha from the viewing area is almost as entertaining as riding it. The speed of the rafts, combined with the screams and laughter of riders, makes it one of the most exciting spots in the park to simply stop and watch.

Why Singha is unmissable
For anyone who loves speed, the Singha is the ride that sets the park apart from other water parks worldwide. It takes the concept of a slide and transforms it into a high-tech water coaster, offering relentless speed, surprising uphill climbs, and sharp turns that keep you on edge until the very end.
While Tower of Power delivers sheer vertical terror and The Dragon provides group fun with weightless swings, Singha is all about pure, sustained speed. For many visitors, including us, it is the highlight of Siam Park and the one ride they return to again and again.
