When I visited Skara last year, the water park was heaving. It seems to be their focus at the mo.
 
I really loved how they fooled us all, thinking it would be a King Cobra from Polin.
Personally I feel this is better, as the park really have been missing multi person raft slide.

There is nor word yet if it will be the regular Tornado Wave, or a new concept, similar to the model to the left below:

This would seem more logical if you wanted to paint a cobra on the slide IMO, and it fit's with the rendering of a more banked curve, rather than a wall.

I asked the CEO of the park about this, but he only told me "Tornado Wave is the starting point , but we are getting this ride customized to fit us"

The water park have always been the heart of Skara. It have really been aging in recent years, without up to date attraction, so it's really nice to see that they invest in it.

The two new Proslide rides were the only attractions I did more than once last summer (I actually did them both a crapload of times, as they were both awesome!). Personally I think the theme park is great as it is now, for the family market, so I would love the see them keep focusing on the water park for another 2-3 years before they go back to improving the theme park area.
