Aquascope nears opening with Spiral slide as a highlight
Looopings reported on the approaching opening of Aquascope at Futuroscope. The helix-style slide described in the Sensations area corresponds to Spiral, an individual water slide in the water park.
More context
The article places Spiral in the build-up to the opening of Aquascope, the indoor water park that helped Futuroscope grow into a broader resort destination. Looopings focused on the final countdown before the July 2024 opening and explained how Aquascope was organised around three themed areas: a thrill-oriented slide zone, an immersive water environment and a children’s area. In that first zone, the report referred to a spiral slide wrapping around the building; in Futuroscope’s official attraction information, that feature corresponds to Spiral.
For visitors, the news mattered because Aquascope was more than an additional pool complex. It added a sizeable half-day experience to the resort, with Spiral forming part of a line-up that also included a trapdoor slide, aquatic cinema, underwater viewing and projection-driven effects. The investment of almost sixty million euros fitted Futuroscope’s wider effort to become a multi-day destination rather than only a traditional day park. For Spiral, the article provides useful historical context: it shows how the slide was introduced within a new water park concept where technology, capacity management and advance booking were central parts of the guest experience.
