The Wave is a super fun indoor water park located in Coventry, England. It's famous for having the biggest wave pool in the UK, which holds a massive 20 million litres of water! Besides the awesome wave pool, you can also float along a lazy river, play in a splash zone, and try out six different water slides.
The water park opened its doors on October 21, 2019. Before that, in July 2019, a gym and a spa also opened in the same building. Building The Wave cost about £36.7 million. It even won an award from the World Waterpark Association, which is a big deal in the water park world!
Awesome Water Slides
Ready for some thrills? The Wave has six amazing water slides, each offering a different kind of adventure. Here's what you can expect:
| Slide Name | What it's like |
|---|---|
| The Cascade | This slide is completely enclosed and dark, but it uses cool lighting effects to make your ride exciting! |
| The Crestar | Like The Cascade, this slide has awesome lighting effects. But it also has two open, bright sections along the way. You ride this one in a tube! |
| The Cyclone | Get ready for a spin! This slide ends in a big "bowl" where you circle around and around. Then you drop out through a hole in the middle. |
| The Rapids | This is a "water coaster" and the longest slide at The Wave, stretching 174 metres! It's a family slide, so you can ride together in a tube. |
| The Riptide | This slide is like a giant "half-pipe" for water. You'll slide back and forth on a tube, feeling like you're on a skateboard ramp made of water! |
| The Torrent | This is the tallest and most intense slide at The Wave. It's a "speed slide" that starts with a trap door opening beneath you, sending you plunging down from the very top of the park! |
