Park Vega, a member of IAAPA (International Association of Amusements & Attractions) and WWA (World Waterparks Association), is now the first international standard water park in Nigeria, and West Africa. A Water Park is a type of amusement park that features water play areas and facilities such as water slides for adults and children, wave pools, splash pad. Currently in Nigeria, Park Vega Water Park is the only water park with all the listed standard facilities. It boasts of multiple water slides for adults and kids, splash pads and the largest pool in West Africa – The Wave Pool. Sitting on 1,500sq.m and containing close to half a million gallons of water, this wave pool mimics the ocean’s waves by pneumatically producing waves up to 1.1m height. It is the most up to date technology in the international market and the centerpiece of the waterpark, offering hours of splashing fun for all ages and swimming levels.
Speaking on the project, Public Relations Officer of the park, Anthony Elikene stated that the park, which is sited in Delta state has answered government's call for diversification of the economy and has put Nigeria and West Africa on global tourism map. "Park Vega's adult slides are aptly named: space-hole slide, free-fall slide, multi-surf slide, and black hole - wave combo slide. These slides offer different experiences to riders. The space hole slide is probably a favourite slide to many because of the twists and turns before being thrown into a jumbo bowl where centrifugal forces keep guest riders high on the wall for several rotations, then they are plunged into a slash pool. Whether sitting on an inner tube with a friend or riding solo, this slide is so much fun that there are repeat rides. The multi-surf slide takes riders on an electrifying head-to-head competition over a series of gut-wrenching bumps propelling guest riders to the finish line to see the fastest." (2020/05, 186G) |
