A Dec. 17 opening has been set for the Waterworld inflatable water park at Lake Karapiro in New Zealand. The inflatable water park, which will run through Dec. 29, will feature water slides, a blob that launches users into the air, a swing, a slipping wave, mouseball, a bridge, trampolines and a log and ball run. "In a way it's like a ninja warrior course for all ages," said Waterworld owner Kel Travers. This is the first time that the company is bringing the inflatable water park to the Waikato region. In previous seasons it has operated in Tauranga and Auckland successfully. The first day of operation on Lake Karāpiro will feature a VIP session in the morning with special guests, including Olympians, invited to test their skills at the water park before opening to the public. Each day it will run from 10am to 7pm and the company is providing Waipā locals with a 25 per cent discount off the normal admission price of $19. Each session runs for one hour and lifejackets are provided. (2019/12/23)
