Singapore first water theme park : Big Splash

Their massive rainbow-coloured waterslides were the stuff of legend. It was the fastest ride of its time. Built some time in the 1970s, Big Splash also featured a huge wave pool fronted by a performance stage for massive pool parties, and a kiddy pool for the little ones. At one point there was even a disco when they renovate it in 2002. It was Mahalo if i not wrong. When Wild Wild Wet was first opened in 2004 at Pasir Ris, comparisons people flock to wikd wild wet which made big splash empty even on weekend. Compared to its much newer and diverse rival, Big Splash was a grand old dame, and her age was beginning to show. Its popularity dropped, attracting only a handful of thrillseekers who had both the stamina to climb its towering spiral staircase, and the courage to do stunts on its gargantuan slides. Following a 2nd renovation, which saw a closure of the park stretching a few years, the slides and pools have since been removed and only its landmark rainbow-coloured dome tower, visible as cars drive past the East Coast Parkway will notice Today, it has become a revamped Dempsey-styled lifestyle village called Playground @ Big Splash, featuring hip restaurants and cafes, childcare and enrichment centres, as well as a spacious carpark that features weekend car boot sales.
