A NEW indoor water park opened in France earlier this year, and it has eight water slides, an aquatic cinema and a children's play area. After only opening on July 15, most Brit holidaymakers probably haven't heard of Aquascope water park - the latest offering from French theme park Futuroscope . Futuroscope calls itself "future-themed amusement park" with Aquascope only adding to this bold claim.
The new £48million water park has a number of unique features for park-goers, including eight massive slides . One of those water slides is Spiral, a "whirlwind of sensations" with a quadruple twist, and Rocket, a 400ft free fall. Families can even ride some of ride the slides together, like Matrix, which has a four-person inflatable raft that travels through whirlpools on its course from top to bottom.
