Hawke's Bay's very own theme park Splash Planet opened this week, heralding the start of another long hot summer in the Bay.
To celebrate the opening, Splash Planet will have a special ride set up this weekend ... the Superfly. This thing is huge.
Standing as high as a three-storey building and over 55 metres long, it's the largest three-lane inflatable water slide in the world.
Or even the universe, because I bet you don't find too many of these on the moon (gravity issues and a lack of water supply). And we, Martin and Sarah will be the first ones to ride it on Friday morning. Uh oh.
The first issue is obviously the need to wear togs when our pasty white bodies have not seen the light of day since last summer.
