Waterworld, Stoke-on-Trent

In 1999, Mo Chaudry's family trust bought Water World from Rank Leisure for £1,500,000. At the time, the park was operating at a loss. Originally, the main rides were raised up in an “treehouse” fashion, with five water slides: Super Flume, Python, Black Hole, Space Bowl and Twister.
