Did the one at Corfe Castle today.

Flip me! Was that good fun or what? Going back on Wednesday.

Where else are they? I know there's one near Newquay.

I’ve only tried the one in Les Gets, there’s one in Cardiff Bay too.

Great fun, but I picked up more aches and pains from 45 mins of that than I did in 8 hours of lift assist riding ha ha

I've seen one fairly regularly at Albert Dock in Liverpool. No idea if it's there currently.

I was in with my kids, so I know about the knackeredness bit. Chloe the hot lifeguard had to haul me out by the scruff of my neck after about 50 mins. My missus thought it was hilarious.

Found the Liverpool one. I'm guessing that would be your closest to home.

Also one in Milton Keynes. Kids have been, I’m a complete wuss though and hate the thought of the cold water.
Did the one in Fuertaventura and even that was border line cold.

There's one at the National Diving and Activity Centre near Chepstow. They've stuck it over the deep end of the quarry, so if you drop anything it'll be 75m down.
They've also got a couple of zip-wires and a huge swing over the quarry edge, plus off-road Segways and as an added bonus, the Forest of Dean is only a few miles away.

All the water stuff at Rother Valley is currently closed due to toxic algae apparently.

Harry, there's another one just up the A31 from you - New Forest Waterpark near Ringwood

You could take your bike and do a few laps of Moors Valley after it shuts, too

A bunch from work all did the Corfe one and had some sickness after it. I’m sure the water must be tested but 4 of a group of about 15 called in with upset tums the day after (they had not eaten together) the only common factor was the water.

It was good fun though!

The Liquid Leisure one near Windsor is AMAZING - really tiring, quite exciting and the big climb and jump is pretty scary

Urban myth or not, folks used to say to drink coke when kayaking at Nottingham whitewater course on the Trent to ward off stomach upsets. Seemed to work for me...

Les Get one was fun but tiring after a days riding! Wished the airbag thing had more oomph though!

Went on one in Tenerife which also had trampolines as part of it, great fun jumping off those into the water.

Watch your toes on the ****n things as well, they are slidey and the little velcro strips are perfect toe breakers. Ask my wife 😉

There's one at the jet ski park at m4 j12 (Laguna park??)

The coke thing is probably true, its about 10x stronger than the phosphoric acid used to sanitize brewery kit!

Coke after, learned that one after years of paddling in the Trent. Iron constitution now.

Just did the one at Troyes lac d’orient yesterday on the way back from the alps, would like to say kids made me do it but I don’t have any! 😂

The New Forest Water Park aqua park is ace, having survived a two hour session last week. I would recommend water shoes for some grip.

Also the Lymington Sea Water baths (Lido)has an Inflatable and a bargain of £8 (adult), £6.50 Kids for an all day ticket. Not on the same scale as the New Forest course but still great fun.

Did one with the kids on a lake in France. Was ace but they were a little young/small

My 6 year old lad literally took flight when our 6' 4'' 14 stone pal jump onto the other end of the Airbag. The boy seemed to hang in mid air, about 15 foot up, before crashing into the sea. We all held our breath waiting for him to surface.... He came up... screaming...... with delight !!

Happy days

That's odd. I was in Albert Dock yesterday and didn't see that. Need to pay more attention!
