David Unwin/ Fairfax NZ Aquaplayers get dunked, at the new water fun facilities at the Lido in Palmerston North, in 2014. The slide stands 14 metres tall, and is attached to the North Island's only 'superbowl', a giant whirlpool. About 50,000 people have played in the aquaplay area and on the hydroslides since they opened, Lido manager Lynden Noakes said. "It's definitely a number one attraction in Palmerston North."
