Water Park from WikiPedia:
A waterpark is an amusement park that features waterplay areas, such as water slides, splash pads, spraygrounds (water playgrounds), lazy rivers, or other recreational bathing, swimming, and barefooting environments. Waterparks in more current states of development may also be equipped with some type of artificial surfing or bodyboarding environment such as a wave pool or a FlowRider.
Usually waterparks have following features :
Pool that streams water. Usually operating with tubes.
Pool that generates artificial waves
Similar to water slide. But tubes are needed to ride this slide
Boomerang go is extreme attraction with large tube. It pushes tube to the cliff zone and returns like boomerang
Usually for fitness. Saunas and hot springs are here.
Waterparks have grown in popularity since their introduction in the late 1940s. The United States has the largest and most concentrated waterpark market, with over a thousand waterparks and dozens of new parks opening each year. Major organizations are IAAPA (International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions) and WWA (World Waterpark Association).
