UK's largest wave pool to open in waterpark with six huge slides

A new water park and spa are to open in the heart of the Uk in time for the October half term.

The Wave will feature six huge slides as well as the UK's biggest wave pool, a lazy river, café, a gym and a spa .

The new venue in Coventry is to open on Monday, October 21, and everything is indoors, so it should be a great choice whatever the weather, reports The Mirror .

The attraction has already shared sneak peeks of what thrill-seekers can expect on  its Facebook page . Slides include the Rapids, a 'water-coaster' where jets hurl riders up and down along the course, and the Cyclone will be one of the park's fastest rides and features huge whirlpools.

There will also b the Torrent, where you stand on a panel and the floor beneath disappears, plunging you down the slide towards the pools below.

Those looking for a thrill that's a little less intense, the Crestar features two giant spheres and lighting effects, while the Cascade is an enclosed slide with colourful light panels.

Those with a fear of heights may want to avoid the Riptide, which sees climbers grab a tyre and climb to the highest points of the water park to race back down.

Another attraction will be the UK's biggest wave pool which is expected to churn around 20million litres of water every day.

The fitness centre which will include a 25-metre pool, a large gym, a dance studio and squash courts and the site will also feature a luxury spa.

Off-peak tickets are £10.50 for adults and £9 for children, while on-peak tickets are £14.50 for adults and £11 for children.

You can find out more on  The Wave's official website  .
