Water park in 14 days
New attraction will open its doors to the public on July 28
Scarborough’s Alpamare Water Park will officially open on July 28.
The opening date for Scarborough’s eagerly awaited new water park has been revealed.
The £14 million Alpamare Water Park will official open on July 28, as the finishing touches are applied to the multi-feature facility over the coming weeks.
Dr Anton Hoefter, Alpamare Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are all very excited.
“The announcement about when we will be open for business is a great milestone in the development of our world-class water park.
“Yorkshire is a truly amazing county and we’re confident that we are delivering a truly amazing, all year round attraction for the county and the UK to be proud of.
“We’re now on countdown to July 28 and we really can’t wait to welcome our first visitors through the doors.”
An adult ticket for the new attraction will be £19, with a child ticket costing £15. Children five and under will go free.
A family ticket for two adults and two children will cost £60.
There are also plans to introduce winter prices for off- season users of the North Bay attraction. Special deals and offers will also be available.
The entrance fee will allow users to stay in the park for a maximum of four hours.
Dr Hoefter added: “Alpamare Scarborough will be a water park like no other in the UK. Combining the best of both worlds, thrill seekers will relish the prospect of the super-fast slides and indoor wave pool while those seeking a more chilled out experience will love the relaxing haven of the outdoor iodine infinity pool and European thermal spa with Hamam ritual and Alpine saunas.”
The slides, all different, will be up to 120 metres long and will cater for four-person inflatables, double inflatables and racing mats. 35,000 litres of water per minute will be pumped through the slides, which are being built to optimise speed, to ensure a thrilling ride experience. All the slides have been named based on an alpine skiing theme and have been constructed by internationally renowned water slide manufacturer and water park planner Pro-Slide.
The ‘Black Run’ will be the steepest and fastest slide with a drop of 11 metres for guaranteed thrills. The ‘Cresta Run’ will see riders propelled down the equivalent of a black ski run, head first, on a racing mat. At more than 116 metres long, the family friendly ‘Olympic Run’ will be the longest of the four slides for a guaranteed fun filled shared ride on a double inflatable.
Signature ride ‘Snow storm’ will be a must for an adrenalin fuelled group experience. Pumping 20,900 litres of water per minute, four person inflatables will hurtle riders down more than 14 metres of twists and turns into the pool below.
