The Wave Launch - Summer 2019
We’ve loved seeing this building taking shape over the last year but are even more excited to try out the slides. Will you be daring enough to ride the ‘Navigator’ a water park rollercoaster inside a tube or the ‘Speed Slide’ with its 20 metre drop?
And we are still waiting to hear about this year’s Godiva Festival plans. (Www.godivafestival.com)
Phew with all this in our diaries we are not sure we will get chance to leave the City!
