After all this time I’ve realized I’ve never described the Narniaworld water park.
The water amusement area was intended to be an integral adjunct to the greater park and was built at the same time. It is themed around the book The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. There is a separate admission fee or one can buy a combination ticket for both the water park and the main park. The latter is the option most visitors opt for.
The water park lies below the main (north) entrance to the park on a large terrace overlooking the bay. It is accessed by a curving ramp through thick woods, which effectively hide it from the view of the main park. Lockers are available to rent and there are male and female changing rooms.
The park is arrayed around a large lagoon known as Glasswater. There is an island in the middle, Dragon Isle, with a statue of Eustace in his dragoned state. One “bay” of the lagoon serves as a shallow splash pool for small children. Opposite this is a replica of The Dawn Treader ship with water guns, showers, and slides where older children can play and climb on the riggings. Off its stern are two water slides.
There are well-kept, soft grass lawns around the pool where visitors can spread their towels or lie on one of the beach loungers. The Wild Sea Serpent Shanty snack bar offers things to eat as well as amenities like suntan lotion.
Lately Narniaworld has realized the limitations of this model, which is designed more for families with small children than adults. New concepts are being researched for a more exciting and immersive experience.
