The multi-level, interactive play structure will boast 225ft (69m) of bridges, seven slides and two tipping buckets which intermittently spill water onto guests below.

In addition, there will be nearly 600 interactive water features, including crawl tunnels, geysers, spray jets and pull ropes.

The East Coast Waterworks structure – currently under construction –will stand seven stories high. Details: www.hersheypa.com
