aquapark

AN adventure aquapark is set to reopen this weekend – just in time to cool off Brits this bank holiday.

The park also marks the first of its kind in Europe.

Aztec Adventure near Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, will be open throughout the summer season, from May 2 to September 20.

The park boasts a number of obstacles, including trampolines, ropes, stepping stones, climbing walls and a balance plank.

It will also feature Europe‘s first Aquaglide Splash Squad Junior Aqua Park, a smaller splash park for young swimmers aged four to seven.

The main aquapark will be suitable for all ages from six and up, given they meet the minimum height requirement of 122cm (4ft).

The park promises “an adventure for everyone”, with tickets costing just under £100 for a family of four.

It will also be open from 11am to 3.30pm on weekends, bank holidays and daily during the May and summer school holidays, ensuring plenty of time for family fun.

For those concerned about safety – both parks are fully accredited by the Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK) as gold industry approved aqua parks.

From May 6, there will even be an opportunity for open water swimming.

Visitors can also hire a kayak or paddleboard to explore the surrounding lake area.

The park is just off Junction 5 of the M5 motorway between Bromsgrove and Droitwich Spa.

BRITAIN’S biggest aquapark is reopening just in time for the Bank Holiday weekend – and is getting a new 39ft-high water slide.

The ride is built for “adrenaline junkies” and is the first attraction of its kind in the UK.

Aqualand is reopening this weekend (May 2) in time for the bank holiday, and is back with a new addition that is “not for the faint hearted”.

A brand new mega-slide will form part of the adventure site this summer and is “officially the UK’s first tower of its kind”.

The X Tower – standing at 12 metres tall – is a huge six slide tower and is ideal for racing with its dual lanes.

Opening later this summer, it’s one of two new attractions to join the beloved waterpark this year.

A spokesperson for Cliff Lakes said: “We’re taking Aqualand to a whole new level…

“Standing at a HUGE 12 metres tall X Tower is officially the UK’s first tower of its kind.

“Six epic slides featuring dual racing lanes, high-speed drop slides with kicker exits and a sliding mat, built for adrenaline junkies aged 12 year or over.

“This is not for the faint-hearted. This is next level!

“Are you brave enough to take it on?”

The latest addition to the adrenaline-packed waterpark will open slightly later in the month than the rest of the Cliff Lakes site.

While the rest of the waterpark will reopen on May 2, thrill-seekers will have to wait until May 23 to try out the X Tower.

The new slide will be open in time for the May half-term holiday and the second bank holiday weekend of the month.

Visitors should note that for a trip down the tower, you’ll need to upgrade a general admission ticket by £5 per person.

Adventure seekers are buzzing with exicitment on social media, and are ready to take on the “epic” looking attraction.

Alongside the X Tower, another new slide will also be on offer this summer season.

The Wibit Wave is a 15 metre long and five metre high slide which has a double-wave for swimmers to enjoy.

Aqualand is located at Cliff Lakes in Tamworth, and is around 25 minutes outside Birmingham.

The park features eight inflatable obstacle courses which visitors can explore for up to 80 minutes.

Visitors must be six years or older and at least 1.10 metres tall, and children aged seven and under must be accompanied by an adult on the course.

As well as families, the park also caters for large group bookings, birthday parties, corporate events and hen and stag dos.

Admission costs include wetsuits and buoyancy aids.
