Two new state-of-the-art slides will be available at Hanmer Springs pools from Wednesday.
The Violet Vortex and Waiau Winder, named by a public vote, feature lighting and visual technology never seen before in New Zealand.
They're replacing two 25-year-old slides which were ridden about 17 million times collectively.
Hanmer Springs Pool general manager Graeme Abbot spoke to Corin Dann.
