A major UK water park is set to reopen just in time for the Bank Holiday weekend, offering adventure seekers a brand-new 39-foot mega slide. The renowned Aqualand inflatable water park returns for the summer season, unveiling the X Tower, a thrilling attraction designed for adrenaline enthusiasts.
New X Tower Slide Details
Reaching an impressive 12 metres (39 feet) in height, the X Tower features high-speed descents, racing lanes, and a pulse-racing experience not suited to the faint of heart. The slide includes six slides with dual racing lanes and precipitous drop sections engineered for extra thrills. While the main park reopens this week, visitors will need to wait slightly longer before attempting this imposing new feature.
Opening Dates
Aqualand, located at Cliff Lakes in Tamworth near Birmingham, will reopen on Saturday, 2 May. The X Tower is scheduled to launch on Saturday, 23 May, perfectly timed for the second Bank Holiday weekend and school half-term.
Additional Attractions
The new attraction is part of a broader expansion at the venue. Another feature, the Wibit Wave, is also debuting this summer. This wave-style slide extends 15 metres and stands five metres high, providing a more lighthearted yet dynamic ride.
Existing Park Features
The water park already hosts eight inflatable obstacle courses that visitors can navigate during 80-minute sessions. Participants must be aged six or above and at least 1.10 metres tall. Younger children require adult supervision. Visitors must be confident swimmers capable of completing 25 metres unaided before taking to the water.
Safety and Pricing
The entry price covers a wetsuit and buoyancy aid, with all guests obliged to wear appropriate safety gear throughout their session. Anyone keen to take on the X Tower will need to pay an extra £5 on top of the standard admission price.
