So i was wondering what is the best water slide at splash landings as I'm going going with my family soon

Master blaster by far

MasterBlaster - Might even be the best water slide I've been on!

Master blaster, one of my favourite waterslides ever tbh

A bit off topic but if you stay at 1 of the hotels can you go in the water park for free?

You can purchase waterpark tickets with your hotel booking.

So for a family of four with a merlin pass it's just under £40? That's quite a bit ...

Thank you I'm staying at splash landings

Is the outdoor section of the waterpark open during the Winter? Going on the 3rd of Feb.

Yes, but some of the slides may close.

That's cheap when you compare it to a leisure centre.

Our local leisure centre is £3.95 for a 90 minute session, Which = £2.63 per hour

AT waterpark works out to be £1.66 per hour if you stay in for the whole 9 hours.

To get your moneys worth, you need to be in there for at least 5 hours, which I achieve every time I go.

Yes if you go on Pirate or Caribbean weekend

My local leisure centre is about £2 an hour but FREE if you do swimming lessons, so really, when my family went, we'd all go for 3 hours and pay £12. I guess this is what I'm used to.

I'm visiting for the first time in years (waterpark not AT) with my family in April.

I have been on Master Blaster, which is great fun!!

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what kind of pools the other slides end in?
My kids want to use them, but are non-swimmers at the mo. I know the end pool for Master Blaster is fairly deep and wondered if the others were the same?
Or are arm bands/float vests allowed on the slides?

Thanks in advance for any help with these questions.

IIRC all the flume pools are the same depth as the master blaster pool, and I'm sure there are signs up saying that if you need armbands you can't use the flumes.

I spotted armbands!

The waterslides rules and regulations does not mention any rules against armbands on the slides but young children must be accompanied by an adult

You can find all the rules and regulations here.

It's up to you but I'd take them in armbands and hold them tight. (dependent on their height)

During winter and off peak, the outdoor pools and slides only open on friday, Saturdays and Sundays.
