A SUPER affordable UK waterpark is set to undergo a major refurb and will get new attractions.
Time Capsule in Coatbridge, Scotland, is set to undergo a £2.5million modernisation project.
As part of the project, there will be a new themed tipping bucket attraction, health suites and a Clip ‘n Climb arena.
The changing areas will also be upgraded, as well as the areas around the pool and the soft play area.
Plans include replacing the water flumes later this year as well.
The project will take place over the remainder of this year and add to already completed projects which include a refurbished gym.

Councillor Geraldine Woods, Convener of the Communities Committee, said: “The Time Capsule has been at the heart of leisure and family life in North Lanarkshire for more than 30 years, and this investment demonstrates our commitment to its future.
“These exciting improvements will enhance the experience for everyone who visits, while creating modern, accessible facilities that encourage more people to be active and enjoy everything the venue has to offer.”
Councillor Jim Logue, Leader of North Lanarkshire Council, added: “This significant investment is about protecting one of our most valued leisure facilities and ensuring it continues to serve our communities for many years to come.
“Many of the new features have been designed to celebrate Coatbridge’s industrial heritage, creating a unique visitor experience while complementing the Time Capsule’s role as one of North Lanarkshire’s flagship leisure destinations.”
The Time Capsule waterpark is one of – if not the most – affordable indoor waterpark in the UK, with adult tickets costing less than a tenner (£9.55 per person) and kids tickets costing £7.90 per person.
Under threes go free and kids aged three or four-year-olds cost £5.25 per person.
In comparison, Sandcastle Waterpark in Blackpool costs from £22.31 per person over the age of eight and from £13.96 per child between the age of three and seven.
And Waterworld in Stoke-on-Trent costs from £17.50 per person.
Inside, you will find high-speed flumes including Tornado Tantrum – a high-speed raft ride, where four people ride together – and Storm Chasers –10hmetre-igh speed flumes.
For those who aren’t a big fan of thrills, you can enjoy the lazy river called Riptide River.
There’s also Cove Island, which is a gentle splash area for toddlers.
And of course, if you want a gentle splash or swim there is a 25-metre pool.
Away from the waterpark, the attraction has an ice rink and gym too.
