"The yellow slide tends to be so violent it can flip you or topple you under the water."

"There are 3 main slides (1 rubber ring slide and 2 normal slides), if slides are not for you there is also a lazy river, a normal pool part and much more."

"There are 3 large tube slides, one on inflatables."
