If you love water slides, read how to enjoy them to the fullest while staying safe.
At Tatralandia, we know that summer is not only about lying on sun beds and getting some suntan not to be white as a sheet but also about enjoying proper adrenalin. Read our suggestions that might help you have a great time on 28 summer water slides.
1. Assess your options
Although you might say that nothing bad can happen on water slides, that doesn´t always need to be the case. If you already have had a drink or two, you had better avoid the slides. The same applies to pregnant ladies and people with cardiovascular issues. Water slides are very dangerous for them. They should prefer safety to adrenalin.
2. Follow all instructions
Before entering a water slide, read the instructions. They inform how to use individual slides properly, about the minimum height and maximum weight of users allowed, the length of the slides and whether you need a mat or a raft to slide down. Every slide has different instructions so pay attention every time you choose another one.
3. Respect the lifeguards and supervising staff
Don´t be a rebel at Tatralandia. It’s not worth it. Our employees are there for you to give you advice so please respect them. All water slide directions and instructions of the lifeguards and the supervising staff are for your own good and safety. Our staff will be happy to help you with any problem you might have. Just ask them. Whether you are looking for a bar or toilets, check the water park map.
4. Rafts and water slides have the same colour
Rafts are required on some water slides. It is mostly those that can be used by two or three people at once. So choosing the right type of raft is very important. That´s easy because there are rafts of various colours located at the landing pool. You can choose based on the colour of the slide you want to use. Or look at the landing pool to see which rafts have been used by people on the slide you are heading to.
5. Effective time management
Testing as many water slides as possible takes time. If you don´t like queuing, try the Express Pass. Skip the line and enjoy a special raft that needs to be returned back to the staff once used. You can pay for the pass with your chip and settle it when leaving the park.
6. What is a MUST?
Do you love water parks and have you already visited all of them in Slovakia? Do you like adrenalin and enjoy yourself properly only if you scream from the top of your lungs? Then don’t miss our blue-white Delphin mega water slide, which is almost 140 metres long and offers a free-fall feeling when falling from a point higher than 17 metres, or the popular Boomerang Raft Ramp, which is actually a rafting half-pipe.
