Belarus Builds 2 Awesome New Water Parks

[Gutterflower]

Today i started tracking the movements of a Schwarzkopf Wildcat that is currently in Kazakhstan but used to be in Misnk, Belarus.

During my research I came across 2 new water parks that have opened in Minsk over the last few years

 

The first Lebyazhy Water Park is your standard although impressive indoor waterpark

Theres a ton of decent looking slides and even an indoor shooting dark ride which can be seen in the video below.

The second is perhaps even more interesting

 

It's another indoor water park called "Waterpark Freestyle" that has a number of excellent looking slides. But perhaps most interestingly has 3 ski jumps into the pool.

People wear actual skis and perform jumps and flips into the pool which has a bubble system to decrease the impact from jumping into water while wearing skis, which I imagine is pretty jarring at the best of times.

 

Theres a video of the actual ski jumping at the top of this news site

The video here is of an attractive young lady showing off the new slides with POV's of a fair few.

 

 

 

 

 

I've been looking into a trip to Minsk for a while. Not least because it is now home to the Original Cedar Point Jet Star and I do like visiting such places for the old soviet architecture. These 2 water parks certainty add an extra attraction to go and see.

Yeah both of these properties look pretty amazing. I love how they have the floor of the lazy rive/ slide exit decorated with tile or something instead of just being a concret trough.

 

Also, I wonder if any can use those ski jumps or if that's just for training purposes only? In America I can't imagine anywhere would ever let regular park guests go on a gigantic ski jump ramp but in other countries I could totally see this being a real attraction haha.

It's actually a YouTube video, so you can embed it here...

 

 

... I don't think regular water park visitors can use it.

Last year i visited the first waterpark,it also had in the same building an arcade room with galactic theme with an attraction

called ¨7d¨ that was a shooting dark ride very interesting.

It also had a desperados attraction ,but with space theme.

Sorry for my english.

The water park with the Wiegand slides and the ski jumps into the pool looks incredible!

Wow, wow, wow! The architecture, paired with the slides look absolutely fantastic! And there looks to be quite the number of water slides at the first park!
