The two hydroslides at the AC Baths are being upgraded and will include exciting new features.

Pools operations supervisor Ryno Nienaber said the hydroslides at the complex were becoming increasingly popular and it was time for an upgrade as the tubes reached the end of their useful lives. Nearly 41,000 people used the hydroslides in 2018, with a total of about 475,000 slides taken.

“Although we’re sad to have to close the hydroslides to carry out this work, we will do our best to get them up and running again as quickly as possible,” Mr Nienaber said. “They should be a great drawcard to the already popular complex.”

The existing slides were scheduled to close at the end of March and work will begin April 1, weather permitting. The first stage is the securing of the site and demolition of old tubes and foundations. This will be followed with the installation of the new foundations and tubes in May and June. It was expected the hydroslides would reopen to the public in July.

The Taupō District is proving to be the place to be in IRONMAN circles following the release of the 2018 Athletes Choice Awards.

The Taupō event, which is the only one of its kind in New Zealand, topped the world in a number of categories and had a series of top 10 results from the survey of 55,000 athletes who competed in one of the 41 full IRONMAN or 105 IRONMAN70.3 races that took place in 2018.
While Australian races IRONMAN Cairns and IRONMAN70.3 Geelong took the global top honours for overall satisfaction, no host city performed better than Taupo across all categories with one athlete commenting on Taupō - "the support from the crowds was amazing - best I've ever experienced. The swim course was so beautiful and the volunteers were unbelievable".

Mayor David Trewavas said the results were no great surprise and they further cemented the district’s reputation as the home of IRONMAN New Zealand.

“These events are always a great chance to showcase our district, and it is second nature for our community to step up each time our IRONMAN family come," said Mr Trewavas.
