I don't think it will look like the renders.

Normally with these the manufacturer just gives a 3D model but in this case it looks like the person doing the rendering just read off the plan and interpreted.

The blue slide i bet will only be a 450 degree helix, so much lower, and it follows the green one will just be a couple of gentle straights with the turn

Paid the Northam Rec Centre a visit on my way back from the York Festival, today. There were a couple of tradies on site, despite the fact that it was a public holiday here. There were some slide pieces lying around. The base of the slides and the new tower seem to be in the foreground along with some small pools. There’s a 50m pool in the distance with what looks to be a spectator stand.

Fully four is nearing completion

For the record:

So the red slide turned out like the rendering (albeit teal coloured now)

The rest were different as you'd expect.

It's hard to see but on the lowest level is a white coloured slide that literally just turns and drops in the middle of the teal helix
