Canadian waterpark opens CA$7m African river adventure
Billed as Canada's largest waterpark, Calypso Theme Waterpark has opened a new CA$7m (£4.3m, €5.1m, US$6.8m) attraction called Kongo Expedition.
The new river ride is 400m (1,312 ft) long and takes 15 minutes to complete. It includes flooded caves, tropical villages, waterfalls and a family wavepool and splash zone.
Calypso opened in 2010 at a cost of more than C$50m (£31m, €36m, US$48m) and is situated east of the capital city, Ottawa. The park covers 100 acres (40 hectares) and has more than 35 waterslides, 100 water games, the country's largest wave pool and all heated pools.
The park welcomed its one-millionth visitor in July 2012.
