"Good fun but unfortunately a couple of the rides were"

Good fun but unfortunately a couple of the rides were closed (torrent and riptide). The other rides were pretty tame but good for younger children, the fastest slide being the rapids. I went on a sunday during the first session and the queues were quite short which i was pleasently surprised about. It was also quite warm inside so didnt feel cold waiting for slides. The facilities in general were clean but the lockers are not the best as many were not locking properly and once you have selected one you cant change it (there were 4 of us and only 2 worked properly so had to cram everything in to avoid going back to reception). Showers were not very powerful but it were clean so ok. The 2 hour session goes very fast so recommend going early to sort out entry and lockers. The crestar seemed to have the longest queue when we went so might want to go on that first if you want to try all of them. A bit slow but great for younger kids, there is a weight limit (think 60kg) so my kids while tall enough couldnt go on it together so for lighter kids an adult may be required.
"Our fifth visit"

Our fifth visit. And I think our last. The queues were terrible for most of the session. For some time there were none of the inflatables you use for the larger rides as they were all in use. The red rocket vertical drop ride was closed and unavailable (same as last time we came). At times we were prevented from entering the wave pool and lazy river, again due to the number of people already in them. The queue for the body ride where you drop into a big bowl was so long you had to wait by a speaker playing very loud music. We have had some great times here in the past although on one previous visit the queues were very bad also. I don't think we'd go back unless the operator limits entry numbers and publicise this. It's a shame as the rides are really good.
"I’ve been there twice with my friends and it’s always fun"

I’ve been there twice with my friends and it’s always fun. I’m surprised what was achieved in what looks like a small place on the outside. My real complaints. Despite being always advertised, The Torrent has never been open on neither of my visits in the span of 7 months, which is quite disappointing- it would add variety with 3 slides and 3 donut rides. I’m conflicted about pricing as well. You pay to stay for 2 hours, but if you end up going in a busy day, you will be spending 1 hour or more queuing which prevents you from doing another activity again. I feel like you should be given the choice of which activities to do, with different packages unbound by time constraints. The problem is that everything works on a rotation basis, so after 2 hours the slides close to allow everything to be cleaned for the next people coming. My other concern is The Spiral. Every time I ride that, my back ends being inflamed. On my last ride, in the ‘open bowl’ section, there was so much friction my back ended up getting a small wound. Something that should be looked into.
