I guess it's a matter of opinion - some kids and teens feel the need to have manufactured entertainment laid on for them whilst on holiday whilst others are happy to swim, snorkel, fish, beachcomb, walk etc

Some kids appreciate both, thank goodness for diversity

That was my issue Sws. Not what the actual whatever it's called looks like, but the fact that the view of the bay really is compromised. I'm not a killjoy and I'm sure older kids will enjoy it (glad I'm not there in July and August ) but I still don't think it looks safe. Only time will tell A good friend made the comment that would everyone be quite so happy if it was in the sea somewhere along Pine Walk?!

[QUOTE=debz1;96087(glad I'm not there in July and August ) [/QUOTE]

Be a first for me....late May/early June is my usual time for visiting.....the things one has to do when Grandchildren are at school! Our little one hasn't been to PP for three years so thought it was time she returned, last week in August....then I with a second week first in September.....shouldn't be so bad!

SWS, if you go back to the very first post on this thread it says the maximum price would be no more than 8€, i believe this is per hour and small children are not allowed.

Just seen this information on Facebook too. Photo looks different when taken from the sea inwards - huge! But you're right, the kids look happy, don't know about the parents wallets though!!

You are right, the picture doesn't look right does it, what we need is someone to go down and try it out for us and find out!

We are out in a couple of weeks and will report back as my 12 year old is excited to try it out. It's not something we'll be using every day by any stretch but she's keen to have a go and have fun with her friends on holiday. Normally more than happy to fish, beachcomb and relax but is getting older so keen to try some more adventurous things too.

If you google witbit waterparks there is all shape and sizes....think the one in the picture is sport pack 60 and the one in PP is sport pack 40, maybe! If it is successful they could possibly add to it!

I have to say this is certainly no where near as bad as I thought when viewed from La Gola area. I saw an add yesterday on FB that said 10 euro per hour.
