New Elements at HydroDash Sentosa
So what’s new at Hydrodash?
Try conquering The Mountain
The four-metre-tall structure is the centrepiece that must be conquered. It has multiple sliding routes, so choose your level of thrill! Adrenaline junkies can opt for the steeper descent, while those with a more moderate risk appetite can select the gentle gradient.
Our teen loved this and tried all of the slides, some of which really had a rather measured pace.
Cross The Zig Zag
This can be found on the left side of the course as you begin. Get through it with speed and do balance otherwise, risk a plunge into the sea!
Take a Leap through Target Jump

Test your upper body strength at Dip Bars
You might not need to use the upper body strength and choose to climb atop. Let’s just say I tried it, but fell into the sea just when i was about to reach the other side. I suppose that’s the whole fun of HydroDash – the Splash!
Two is Better than One – Flip
This is where teamwork comes into play. In order to get one flipping into the water (seated on the green portion), the other must land on the pillow-like float on the yellow portion.
Challenge yourself and Climb Up the Tower
If slides, balancing beams, splash zones are not enough. Try climbing up the tower from the water. This was probably the most challenging bit of HydroDash. If you are thinking of using your feet to help, wear aqua shoes to prevent cuts from barnacles at the base of the float.
The swing was probably our teen’s favourite part of HydroDash. He swung back and forth like a seasoned acrobat – perhaps something heavier beings might not be so competent at.
Here are six top tips we have!
6 Tips to Maximise your Hydrodash Water Park Experience
1. Wear Aqua Shoes
Some might think slipping and falling into the sea is part of the fun at Hydrodash. We’d much rather have more time bouncing around on the mega bouncy castle on the sea! Hence, aqua shoes are advised so you can stay on the floats much longer.
Aqua shoes provide much more grip compared to going barefoot. This means you can slay the course like a true ninja-warrior in cheat mode. The shoes can also protect your feet should you take a wrong step.

2. Take Safety Precautions
For safety reasons, any sharp objects including mobile phones, goggles are not permitted at Hydrodash. Do remove all watches, hair accessories as well. It is wet and slippery so safety comes first.
When taking the slides, or jumping into the sea, pinch your nose, close your eyes and mouth to prevent the sea water from stinging your eyes. Swallowing sea water was also not a very pleasant experience.
3. Check the tide
You can maximise your experience at Hydrodash by going when it’s high tide. Check the tides here.
Jumping off the platform is allowed only during high tide. Unfortunately, we made our booking without checking the tides and could not try jumping off the high tower.
4. Keep Valuables at Lockers near Washrooms
The nearest washrooms are about 2 minutes’ walk away from the Hydrodash entrance. You can also store your valuables at the lockers there.
5. Arrive early!
Being an early bird has its perks. Arrive 30 minutes before your playtime, attend the safety briefing and you can start the Wipeout experience earlier!

6. Use the Open Air Showers to rinse off
There are a few open air showers to use right in front of the counter. Use those for rinsing after your water-based adventure!
