Rainbow Rapids - Ireland's first waterpark 1983

Dún Laoghaire Baths in County Dublin was transformed into Rainbow Rapids, unveiling Ireland’s first water slides in a bid to secure the future of the historic facility. Threatened with closure just a few years earlier, the baths introduced two 300-foot heated slides and a plunge pool, capable of accommodating up to 250 visitors a day. Riders completed a full circle before plunging 40 feet into the pool, reaching speeds of up to 15 miles per hour during the 30-second descent. The Irish-made attraction marked a dramatic change from the baths’ early days in the 1920s, when the main pool had been divided by a curtain separating men and women.
