The Tower of Power in Siam Park Tenerife is the park’s most famous attraction and one of the most iconic water slides in Europe. Located in Costa Adeje, this nearly vertical drop has become a symbol of the park. Rising 28 metres high, the slide is known for its speed, the incredible view from the top, and the unforgettable moment when riders shoot through a tunnel inside a giant aquarium.

How tall is the Tower of Power at Siam Park?
Visitors often ask, “How tall is the Tower of Power Siam Park?” The answer is 28 metres (92 feet). Standing at the top, with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the entire park below, you understand why it’s also called the Tower of Power Tenerife. The view lasts only a few seconds, because once you let go, gravity takes over.
From above, the slide looks more like a cliff than a ride. The Tower of Power height makes it one of the tallest and steepest attractions in any European water park.

The Tower of Power slide experience
The Tower of Power slide is short but unforgettable. You accelerate to speeds of up to 80 km/h (50 mph), making it the fastest attraction in Siam Park. It feels less like sliding and more like a controlled free fall. Just as you start to catch your breath, you shoot into a transparent tunnel that runs directly through an aquarium filled with sharks and rays. This finale is what makes the Tower of Power water slide unique.
As one visitor put it: “The fall felt endless, and then suddenly I was racing past sharks. The scariest and best slide I’ve ever done.” Another review described it simply as “the fastest few seconds of my life, worth every minute of waiting.”
Safety, height restrictions and age limit
Despite the extreme appearance, the Siam Park Tower of Power is perfectly safe when rules are followed. Riders must be at least 1.40 metres tall, and the Tower of Power Siam Park age limit is generally 12 years and above. Staff are strict about posture: arms crossed, legs together, and head back.
From time to time, people search for terms like “Tower of Power Siam Park death” or “Tower of Power Siam Park accident.” These are often confused with unrelated rides elsewhere, such as the Superman Tower of Power accident in the United States. In reality, the Tower of Power in Siam Park Tenerife has an excellent safety record and is maintained daily to the highest European standards.

Photos and watching from below

Tips from experience
We always recommend riding the Siam Park Tower of Power first thing in the morning. The queues are shortest before 11 am, and unlike other attractions, the Fast Pass does not apply here. Lock away valuables, as nothing can be taken on the ride. Take a moment to enjoy the view before you go, it’s part of the experience.
If you’re unsure, spend time watching from below. Seeing others ride can make it easier to decide whether you want to try it yourself.
