Rides on the wave coventry

There are six high octane slides. 
Torrent – Riders of The Torrent must be brave and prepared to have the floor beneath them disappear plunging straight down to ground level. 
Cyclone – A fast slide sending riders whirling around an open bowl before dropping them in to the pool below
Rapids – the best rode with a friend or family member as powerful jets hurl riders uphill before dropping them down through tight corners and tunnels. A roller-coaster on water
Cascasde – A fully enclosed slide sweeping riders through large sections of coloured light.
Crestar – Two giant spheres that use lighting effects and other surprises to delight sliders as they journey towards the bottom.
Riptide – Grab a tyre and then get launched at nearly 90 degree.

There is also a lazy rive,  a wave pool, lifestyles fitness facilities, a Spa, 120 gym station, dance studio and squash courts at the wave Coventry.
