Hi everyone, and welcome to the third Coral Reef Waterworld refurbishment newsletter, keeping you updated on our progress so far.

They’re here, our brilliant, new, state-of the art waterslides have touched down at Coral Reef!
The sections of our fantastic five flumes have been shipped over from the factory of our expert manufacturers Van Egdom in the Netherlands.
The sections will be put together and installed over the coming months, ready to thrill and amaze visitors when we reopen this summer.
The five new slides will have something for everything – there’ll be a combination of dual and single ride slides; some will have rafts while others will be body slides; they’ll range from a gentle meandering long ride to a short, dynamic, fast slide. And, for the first time, you, the rider, will be able to select interactive elements to personalise your experience.
Overall, the flumes will feature elements of fun, interactivity and, for the serious rider, competition.
Look out in the coming months for more details about the names of our new flumes and their astonishing interactive elements.

We’re getting to the stage now, excitingly, where we are seeing how the new Coral Reef will look, both inside and out, when it is all finished and we can throw open our doors once again.
Inside, the new changing village and Coconut Grove café will begin to have their walls tiled shortly. 

It is a small world for Marco Glorie, head of production at our flume manufacturers Van Egdom who has now gone full circle in his work with Coral Reef.
Marco, pictured to the right of the Director of Environment, Culture & Communities Vincent Paliczka, remarkably, was the headfitter of the company, Promoplast, which installed the three water slides at the original Coral Reef back in the late 1980s and has now played a key role in creating our thrilling new flumes!

Be a part of the new Coral Reef Waterworld when it opens this summer - we’re looking for new full time, part time and casual staff members in housekeeping, catering, on the reception and as lifeguards.
As an added bonus, those interested in becoming a lifeguard who take a National Pool Lifeguarding Qualification course held at Bracknell Leisure Centre during 2017 and then are successfully recruited to Coral Reef, will have their course fee refunded.
Full training and new uniform will be provided.  You will be part of a great team working in a fun environment at a well-loved venue.
