Try Water World’s fantastic white-knuckle ride The Twister- six seconds of thrills and spills
combined with brilliant lighting and sound effects.
In addition there are many other exciting rides including The Nucleus; the first indoor water
roller coaster ride in the UK, The Space Bowl, The Black Hole, The Python, Super Flume
and Family Multi-Slide.
Stoke on Trent water world is fantastic and a brilliant day out with family and friends. The
water park is the best in the UK and for a cool day out it is cheap. The adrenalin rush fast
flowing water rides are brilliant and the facilities also contains wave pools, food bars, outdoor
swimming rapids and many more. I advise you to go in the summer and I had a great
time with my friends and I would rate it 5 out of 5.

West Midlands Safari Park
Spring Grove, Bewdley, Worcestershire, DY12 1LF.
Tel: 01299 402114/0700 4 SAFARI

Year 9 G&T student Liam Barrett (9 Lucas) writes for InsideOut. Here,
Liam’s feature outlines some exciting opportunities available during
the summer holiday and beyond.
Are you ready to SAFARI and come face to face with some of the fastest, tallest and cutest animals around? Then here we go......
We have four fantastic miles of safari trail with close encounters galore. Have you ever seen a rare White Lion? Probably not as they are
virtually extinct in the wild and we have the only pride in the UK. The animal reserve is home to over 600 animals and covers a vast area of
100 acres, which is often abundant with babies. What’s more, this is a self-drive safari in your own vehicle and you get the chance to feed
some of the animals too. Alternatively, if you prefer to be driven, then you are able to book a guided minibus tour for an extra charge.
When I went to the safari park with my family I had a great time not only at the park you can drive around the reserve if your own car and
observe all the rare animals but you can also feed the animals which is a rare opportunity. Also in the park there is a exciting theme park
packed with blood rushing rides from water rides to fast roller coasters. I had a wicked time and it’s full of fun for everyone in the family.
