Two more slides have been unveiled as Coventry's new water park nears completion.

Called The Torrent and The Cyclone, these slides are set, arguably, to be the most thrilling of them all.

Four slides have previously been revealed to the public as the attraction has taken shape in recent months.

The £36.7million water park, built on the former Spire House site in the city centre,  will boast a number of white-knuckle slides, as well as a wave pool, lazy river, spa and gym.

The Torrent has a thrill rating of five

The Torrent apparently has a thrill level of five out of five.

Riders must prepare to have the floor beneath them disappear and to be plunged straight down to ground level.

The Wave's website says this is only for the bravest of riders.

The Cyclone is one of the fastest slides at The Wave

The Cyclone is one of The Wave’s fastest slides, sending riders whirling around an open bowl before dropping them in to the pool below! Guaranteed to get you in a spin.

In total, there are now six slides announced.

The other four; The Cascade, The Riptide, The Crestar and The Rapids have all been revealed two by two over the last several weeks.

If you can't wait for The Wave to open later this year and want to get your trunks or swimming costume on as soon as possible, then the water park is looking for people to test the new slides.

People can apply to be one of the first to go on the water park version of a rollercoaster via The Wave website.

There are five questions to answer to be in with a chance of being one of the lucky ones.

Swimming pool first look

The first pictures of Coventry's brand new swimming pool were revealed this week.

Located inside The Wave complex, the 25m pool will be dedicated for lane swimming all day - which means no restricted swim times.

The pool is surrounded by changing LED mood lights too, offering swimmers an atmospheric splash.

It comes as part of the health and fitness aspect of the Wave, which is opening in phases in the coming months.

Along with the pool, there are over 100 pieces of gym equipment - many of which are " digitally enhanced ".

So when will it open?

Earlier this year, a Coventry City Council spokesperson said: "It is anticipated that the day spa, 120 station fitness suite, dance studio, 25m pool and spinning studio will all be fully open to the public in the spring as part of a phased opening of The Wave.

"The water park element of The Wave will also open in the spring for a number of test events in readiness for a full public launch early in the summer 2019."

Though it will be home to a swimming pool, this is not the replacement pool for the Fairfax Street swimming baths.

That will be opening at a later date at the Alan Higgs Centre .
