What are the best water parks in the country???

Gunni Parker · 25 Apr 2011 at 19:59

Me and my mate where talking about this the other day. Other than going to Waterworld Stoke, and Rhyl Suncenter erm... Rhyl are there anyother top water parks that do actually provide thrilling rides??? I live in the Northwest but travel is not a problem.

There is one in Poole, Dorset that was fun back when I was a youngster. Pretty sure it is still around.

Other than that, Center Parcs places have waterparks.

Center parcs is the only one I know,however I would recommend flying out to Tenerife and going to here.
The best one I have ever been to and it is really clean, the aqua land one is terrible as it's so dirty.

They manage to mention how to get there by car, but don't mention whether parking is free etc :/

Must say, I am tempted to go there or somewhere else for my bday in a month and a bit with the girl I'm seeing

The one in Poole is good. Also one to think about is Splash Landings at Alton Towers seeing as you live not too far away:

There are no amazing ones in this country. There is only a couple of weeks a year that people would go...

Morba · 25 Apr 2011 at 21:54

Splashdown looks great!

_Gizka_ · 25 Apr 2011 at 22:00

There is the Sandcastle in Blackpool, which isnt quite up to the standards of Splashdown.

Gunni Parker · 27 Apr 2011 at 21:16

There doesn't appear to be many. Waterworld in Stoke claims to be the best in the UK. Its alright like.

Splashdown is THE SHIZ!!!!

I have been there dozens and dozens of times and no matter how old I get I still have an amazing time. The tyre ride is just legendary, I have cried from laughter at seeing my friends fall off their tyres on many occations.

Everytime I'm in dorset I HAVE to go.

Did I say I loved splashdown?!

Oh and last time I went parking was free.

There's one outside Newcastle which is pretty good. Googling suggests it's called Wet 'n Wild, which I don't remember it being called, but hey ho.
