01
Palm Ridge
Big thrills on the high ground
The tallest ground in the park, where the Kingfisher coaster dives through the palms and the Palm Drop lifts you 48 metres above GRA before letting go.
A three dimensional map of Tropica Park at dusk. The Kingfisher coaster runs along Palm Ridge, the Lantern Wheel turns in Lantern Square, log boats float through Mangrove Hollow, waves roll across Lagoon Bay and a small train circles Little Rainforest. Choose a ride from the list to fly to it.
Theme park and water park, GRA Port Harcourt
The map comes alive at dusk.
Ten rides across five lands, a lagoon with a beach, suya smoke over Lantern Square and a park that switches its lights on at half past six.

Whole park
Five lands, one lagoon
Drag to turn the map. Choose a ride to see its height rule and today's wait.
Five lands
One walk round the lagoon takes in all of it
Every land has its own sound, smell and pace. Start high on Palm Ridge, or slow in Mangrove Hollow.
02
Lantern Square
Shows, food and the big wheel
The heart of the park. Suya smoke, the bandstand, the Lantern Wheel and, after dark, the Glow Parade that winds through every land.
03
Mangrove Hollow
Creeks, roots and the carousel
A shaded creek world built on boardwalks. The Creek Runner boats splash through it and the Firefly Carousel turns under a canopy of lights.
04
Lagoon Bay
The water park, with sand
A wave pool with a real beach, the Coconut Corkscrew slides and cabanas you can book for the day. Lifeguards on every pool.
05
Little Rainforest
For under eights and their grown-ups
Small rides at small heights. The Tortoise Express, the Monkey Swings, a splash pad and a quiet room with soft light for a rest.
The rides
Start with the one you have heard about
Six of our ten rides. Waits are live from the queue sensors, so you can plan your next move from the bench.
Palm Ridge
Kingfisher
Launch coaster, 32 metres high, 78 km/h
A launch from standstill to 78 km/h in under three seconds, a twist through the palm canopy and a skim over the creek.
Palm Ridge
Palm Drop
Drop tower, 48 metre drop
A slow lift above the treetops, the whole city lit up below you, then a fall that lasts about as long as a gasp.
Mangrove Hollow
Creek Runner
Log flume, Two drops, one big splash
Hollowed log boats drift through the mangrove roots, climb past the fireflies, then drop into the creek. You will get wet.
Lantern Square
Lantern Wheel
Observation wheel, 38 metres, 24 cabins
Twenty-four air-conditioned cabins, one slow turn and the best view of Port Harcourt after dark.
Mangrove Hollow
Firefly Carousel
Carousel, Two decks, 48 animals
A two-deck carousel of carved animals from the creeks and forests: tortoises, hornbills, a manatee and a very proud goat.
Lagoon Bay
Tide Pool
Wave pool and beach, Waves every 20 minutes
A sand beach, a warm pool and a wave every twenty minutes, with lifeguards in the water and on the towers.

What the car ride home sounds like
We came for my son's eighth birthday and stayed until the Sky show wrote his name. He has not stopped talking about it.
The Kingfisher launch is the real thing. I rode it four times with Fast Lane and still had time for suya.
Our school brought 140 pupils. The team had wristbands, lunch and a meeting point ready before our buses parked.
Plan your day
Small things that make a long day easy
Getting here

Power that stays on
Two backup plants and a solar field keep rides, cold rooms and lights running when the grid drops.
If it rains
Outdoor rides pause for lightning. If they stay shut for two hours, your ticket becomes a free return.
Lockers and pay
Lockers from N2,500. Card, transfer and POS at every till, and wristbands that pay with a tap.
