First seven-star waterpark in the world to open in Europe this month with huge spa and 21 pools | The Sun

A NEW £50million waterpark is opening in Europe – with 21 pools and a huge spa.

It will be the world's first waterpark to have a seven-star rating.



The RQ Water Experience Park and Spa will feature 21 pools and bathing areas, slides, and a spa.

But the site's main attraction will be a huge water slide tower.

Parts of the park will celebrate aspects of Hungarian culture such as soda water, which the country claimed was invented by Hungarian scientist Anyos Jedlik in the 1800s.

CGI images also show a number of pools nestled among wooden walkways and green spaces.

According to Daily News Hungary, the project has cost more than €60million (£50million), and is thought to be the largest sum of money invested in a spa in Hungary.

The new attraction has been described as a "game changer" for the country and will become one of the most advanced waterparks in Europe.

Located in Győr near the Moson-Danube and Rába rivers, the waterpark can be reached via three capital cities in Europe.

From the Hungarian capital, Budapest, the waterpark is a 60-minute drive away.
