The complex will feature the Tree of Life, a 10-meter-high architectural structure resembling a tree decorated with 150 meters of LED lights. The "tree" serves as the center of the area, and from it emerges "The Spiral", the longest dry extreme slide at sea. The exit from the slide leads to the World Promenade complex, which includes ocean views, restaurants and various entertainment options.
