Water Wars

Now firmly established at famous and varied locations throughout the UK, including Alton Towers, Crealy Great Adventure Parks, York Maze and Sandown Ski Centre, Water Wars is suitable for anyone aged 5 years-old and upwards.

The game sees players launch water-filled balloons at each other via the use of a giant catapult, correctly aimed balloons bursting on impact on the roof of the opposing players’ station, emptying the contents on those below!

Additionally, the new optional Depth Charge feature adds another dimension to the game.

“It increases the enjoyment of the game and adds much to the experience,” says Marc Miller, park director at Adventure Island in Southend-on-Sea. “It’s very successful. Every time it goes off it always brings a big smile to the faces of players and laughter from spectators. It fits very well with our family orientated customer base.”

Water Wars not only provides family fun and entertainment for players but is a real crowd pleaser too.

It has also proved popular with operators for several reasons. It is quick and easy to install, economical to run and virtually maintenance-free, while also being a great cool-down attraction and a powerful second revenue provider.
