Stepping off the air-conditioned shuttle, the first thing you notice is the roar: surf, slides and the 360° pirate ship cutting through a chorus of shrieks and laughter. Sunway Lagoon sits on an expanse of reclaimed quarry west of Kuala Lumpur, and a day here moves between the deliberate rhythm of the wave pool and sudden, breath-stealing drops on the water slides.
