SplashMania Waterpark @ Gamuda Cove: GL Play's Birthday Bash is back with free tickets, epic water rides & non-stop family fun
Even though the school holidays in Malaysia are officially over (for now), who says the fun has to stop? If you're still craving quality time with the family, but prefer not to deal with the hassle of hopping on a plane, or if you're a visitor exploring Malaysia (welcome, by the way!), you'll definitely want to consider adding SplashMania at Gamuda Cove to your itinerary.
Managed by GL Play, the leisure and attractions division of Gamuda Land, SplashMania is part of a lineup of thoughtfully designed destinations like Discovery Park, Paya Indah Discovery Wetlands, and FunPark. GL Play specialises in curating experiences that blend nature, adventure, and entertainment with a refreshing nod to sustainability. It's ideal for families and young adventurers alike.
SplashMania itself spans 18 acres within Gamuda Cove in Kuala Langat, Selangor, and it's packed with 39 attractions — including 24 exhilarating water slides and 15 other highlights to explore.
And here's a little bonus: if you're planning to visit between 21 Jun and 31 Jul 2025, you're just in time for their much-anticipated GL Play Birthday Bash. During this festive stretch, you can enjoy a Buy 1 Free 1 ticket offer. Such a perfect excuse to bring a friend or treat the family. Keep reading for all the juicy details!
At SplashMania, boredom doesn't stand a chance. To make it easier to plan your day, everything's grouped into 4 main categories: Kids Adventure, Family Adventure, Thrill Adventure, and Extreme Adventure.
If you're bringing young kids along, there's always that tiny concern: will there be enough for them to do? That's not even a question here. There are dedicated attractions just for the little adventurers.
The first one on the list is Treasure Tower: one of the tallest water play structures in Malaysia, packed with flumes, splash buckets, and plenty of giggles.
Then there's Mini Mania, a thoughtfully designed zone with pint-sized versions of fan-favourite slides like Monsta and Twista which offer a tiny funnel slide experience with smooth turns and soft drops. Splash Sploosh is a splash pad with gentle water jets that are perfect for toddlers to safely cool off, rounding out the list of kid-friendly rides that are both fun and approachable.
For the whole family, attractions like Ravage River deliver fun in a more relaxed setting. This lazy river winds through 8 themed zones such as Donut Rapids, Bubbly Dip, Rain Shooters, and more. You'll also find full-sized rides like Typhoon Terror and Amazonia, a multi-level ship that houses waterslides, a petting zoo, dining outlets, a DJ deck, and other family-friendly features.

If you love a good dose of adrenaline, SplashMania's got you covered with an exciting lineup of thrill and extreme rides that will get your blood pumping.
Ready for a real heart-stopper? Sumaumeira Drop hurls you down from a 60m height at speeds of up to 80km/h. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you're craving an adrenaline rush, you won't want to miss it.
Next up, Wild Rush delivers high-speed thrills through an enclosed body slide filled with sharp curves, 360° loops, and even a surprise 'free-fall' moment before you splash down. Then there's Rush Havoc, a multi-lane water coaster that twists, turns, and drops its way through a chaotic, thrill-packed course.
For something visually stunning, Shaka Waka brings a vibrant, sensory element to your ride with a 78m enclosed tube slide lit by LED effects and pulsing with audio.
Plunge — steepest slide out of the bunch — is a 6-storey free-fall slide that drops you almost vertically into the water below. And don't miss Whoopa Loopa, a translucent slide that offers speed, winding turns, and splashes all the way through.
Night Splash!: Call of the Tribe is for those who seek more adrenaline and fun even after the sun sets. Happening every Friday and Saturday throughout July from 7pm to 11pm, this after-dark experience brings a whole new energy to the park.
Step into a glowing world where music, lights, and tribal vibes come alive. The Mystic Glowing Tribe feature performers decked out in LED costumes gliding and spinning to the rhythm of the night, creating a hypnotic spectacle of movement and light.
Of course, no party is complete without music. Live DJ sets from over 60 DJs keep the beats going and the energy high, turning the park into an open-air dance floor under the stars. Right at the entrance, you'll also catch exhilarating fire-breathing shows, lighting up the night in more ways than one.
And yes, some of your favourite rides stay open after dark. Brace yourself for nighttime thrills on Wild Rush, Sumaumeira Drop, and Shaka Waka, all made even more dazzling with dynamic LED effects. For something a little more laid-back but still magical, hop on the Ravage River Ride, a 400-metre-long stream-alike that glows with neon, glow-in-the-dark artwork as you drift peacefully through the night.

Man completes epic 1200 mile journey from Manchester to Ibiza in flip flops
A man from Macclesfield has completed a nearly 1,200 mile walk from Manchester to Ibiza, with just a pair of flip flops for footwear. Henry Moores, 22, completed the astonishing feat on June 29, raising over £55,000 for children's cancer charity Bemorefab. The 22-year-old has previously set off on many long distance adventures, including walking to France, as well as making the very same trip to Ibiza. READ MORE: Friends left stunned at Manchester Airport after landing £24,000 in terminal READ MORE: LIVE: M60 closed for EIGHT HOURS amid fatal horror crash - latest updates Join the Manchester Evening News WhatsApp group HERE But this time Henry from Macclesfield added in an extra element of difficulty by switching out his footwear. You might think that a good pair of stout walking boots would be essential when attempting a 1,200 walk, but Henry did it in just flip flops. He previously spoke to the Manchester Evening News about his feat, saying: "I had such a good time last year and wanted to do it again, but to keep everyone entertained I thought there had to be a different catalyst, and that was footwear. "Making it harder gets more attention and that gets more donations for a great charity." The feat was clearly effective as Henry raised some £55,890 for Bemorefab at the time of writing. Taking to Instagram to celebrate his achievement, he wrote: "Thank you for everyone who has donated, flown to Ibiza and helped me along the way with discounts, free food and water and helping me to organise bits I couldn't do myself, thanks so much again and you'll see me soon." Henry first began undertaking his challenges back in 2023 after an apprenticeship "went a bit awry". He said: "I said to my mum, 'I'm going to Paris'. I've always wanted to do a big walk and have always joked about it. "I came back from that and raised around £20,000 for local charities and by then I'd really got the bug for it. I thought, what next?" Since then Henry has documented his journeys on his Instagram account, racking up some 418,000 followers for his adventures. His latest adventure began on April 5, and after a gruelling journey lasting nearly two months he finally touched down in Ibiza. The final day saw him being dragged on a dinghy behind a boat for the final stretch of the journey over water. A video posted to his page shows the long distance walker wearing a tuxedo and armbands as he emerges from the sea onto land to cheers from waiting onlookers.

From Ladder To Launchpad: How Gen Z Is Rethinking Careers
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - 2025/01/24: Tourists play a game of Snakes and Ladders at a Chinese temple ... More ahead of the Lunar New Year of the Snake celebrations. Lunar New Year which falls on January 29, 2025, welcomes the year of the Snake, which will be celebrated by the Chinese around the world. (Photo by Wong Fok Loy/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) Snakes and Ladders (Chutes and Ladders for American readers) was the game I grew up with. A roll of the dice could catapult you up or send you sliding down. One lucky number and you were ahead. One unlucky square and you were back at the beginning. It was a game of chance—no strategy, no control. My Gen Z kids don't play it. Their world is Minecraft. They build. They create. They engineer landscapes from scratch. There's no dice. No shortcuts. Just trial, design and iteration. And that contrast says a lot about how Gen Z thinks about careers too. They don't want to climb someone else's ladder. They want to craft their own space, shape their own path and know that the work they do today builds toward something that's theirs. But that's hard to do when the systems they enter are still wired for a different game. If we want to help Gen Z grow, we can't leave it to luck. We have to help them build. It makes you wonder: is there a Minecraft: Career Edition? Even if there were, we'd still need to name the gap between building virtual worlds and navigating real ones. One lets you break blocks and build castles with a click. The other requires you to face uncertainty, figure out what matters, and make calls when no playbook is handed to you. Careers don't come with a tutorial. There's no sandbox mode for real life. That's what makes early career so complicated right now. Gen Z is often learning through simulations, digital experiences and secondhand stories. But what they need are real-world repetitions. Moments of stretch, ambiguity and contribution. Not in theory. In context. In the workplace. On teams that expect something of them. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder And that means leaders need to stop asking if Gen Z is prepared—and start creating the conditions that help them prepare. Trying To Build With Missing Blocks Many young professionals are ambitious, creative and eager to grow—but they're also navigating fog. Career guidance feels out of sync with what they're experiencing. The job they trained for might be evolving. The path they imagined might not exist. And the advice they're getting often comes from influencers, not insiders. CareerTok is full of well-meaning guidance, but much of it misses a deeper truth: growth isn't a formula. And belief in yourself, while important, needs to be anchored in something more durable than algorithms, AI prompts or viral social media tips. A Deloitte study found that just 6% of Gen Z say their top career goal is to reach a leadership role. But that doesn't mean they lack ambition. Learning and development rank among their top three reasons for choosing an employer. Nearly nine in ten say a sense of purpose is critical to their well-being. And many feel their managers are falling short—not on performance management, but on inspiration and mentorship. Gallup research reveals similar gaps. Younger employees report drops in clarity, recognition, and development—fundamental ingredients for growth. These aren't soft needs. They're the scaffolding for long-term success. The biggest challenge? Most of our systems still reward the straight line. But Gen Z grew up in a world that glitched and rebooted. They've watched careers evaporate, industries reinvent, and skills go obsolete before graduation. They aren't lost. They're living in a different context. One that doesn't promise certainty—but does demand adaptability. And they're not waiting to be told what to do. They're asking the right questions: What am I building here? What matters to me? How can I grow and still be myself? What Leaders Must Do Many leaders still expect younger employees to prove themselves the same way they did: stay put, follow instructions, pay dues. But Gen Z is responding to a different economy and different signals. They want growth, not grind. They want learning, not ladder-climbing for its own sake. And they want to feel seen as whole people, not just future high potentials. So what should leaders do? Most young professionals are used to being evaluated on what they lack. Flip the script. Start with what they naturally do best. Help them understand their true strengths not bemoan their weaknesses. Help them see how they think, relate and contribute. You're not just coaching a job. You're shaping a personal journey. Gen Z doesn't expect to have all the answers. But they want chances to explore. That means offering project work across teams, learning experiences outside their job family and mentorship that spans disciplines. Many leaders hide the zigzags in their own careers. That's a missed opportunity. Share your detours. Your failures. The moments that didn't make sense until later. Gen Z wants transparency over polish. Vulnerability builds trust. Instead of asking, 'Where do you want to be in five years?' try, 'What kind of work makes you feel alive?' or 'What problems are you curious about?' Let their questions shape the path, not your expectations. A role that doesn't fit isn't failure. It's data. Help them see how skills transfer, how to reframe setbacks and how to pivot without shame. Especially in a fast-moving world where AI and automation are redrawing the lines every week. From Ladders To Landscapes Many Gen Z employees are being called idealistic. Entitled. Too quick to leave. But they are not quitting growth. They are quitting environments that don't make space for it. The sooner we adjust our systems, the sooner we unlock their potential. Because they're not playing the old game. If their world is more Minecraft than Monopoly, our systems need to shift too. Minecraft doesn't reward luck or hierarchy. It rewards intention. Curiosity. Rebuilding when something breaks. Careers today need the same mindset. Not a fixed track but an evolving world built through trial, stretch, and imagination. You don't build a castle in Minecraft by rolling dice. You build it block by block—mistake by mistake, lesson by lesson. That's the kind of resilience and creativity Gen Z is already practicing. And it's time we helped them bring it into the workplace. The game Gen Z is playing isn't about reaching the top. It's about learning how to move with change. How to build range. And how to grow in ways that matter. The leaders who will shape the future are the ones who know this. And who are willing to change the gameboard.
