Such a shame they closed the waterPark. I moved away before it opened so never got to go on it. But in its first year of opening, I contacted Faulkner Brown architects and asked them if they would provide me with the architectural drawings. They were beautifully put together. I used them as part of my graduation, to produce a 1:100 architectural model. So I got to know every detail of that building. Love it.
At 00:25 sec you can see on the left side of the blue slide a green pizza-shaped segment of a slide. This is part of a SpaceBowl slide. It was never installed but you can see the pieces at the bottom waiting to be put together. I read it was a project for 2012. This never happened unfortunately. The light blue segments look like parts of a master-blaster slide (project, also not made). Does anyone know more about this??
It needs huge investment to change it like ones in US. Where it has huge rotary section. Hopefully not extremely flammable like the one in Sweden , that literally caught fire and exploded!
I remember going there as a kid on the 90s. Was the best. There was a video of a group of lads who broke in and videos inside. I remember all of it and am 34 years old. Times going by too fast man. I wish I could have taken my kids there. Got closed because it was too expensive to run apparently
To expensive to run because the heating bill must have been astronomical! I remember going years ago and my over riding memory was the stifling heat in the place which made me feel quite ill.
@@adammac4960 Yeah the heat was really excessive, it took me quite a few day’s to recover and there was a really strong chloride type of smell which stayed in your nose and gave you a head ache for days afterwards. I wonder if H&S got involved which contributed to it getting shut down? 🤔
At this point it is beyond repair and worth demolishing which is a shame but is how things go but as for the future redeveloping it into another water park and not houses would be best for the people

Thank you so much for making this masterpiece! It is for sale. Who has 3,2m pounds? I would buy if I had the money!
