Aquamagica, a new waterpark, is set to open next to Adlabs Imagica theme park in India over the coming weeks.


The waterpark was originally slated to open in June. The reason for its delay has not been unveiled.


When it opens, however, Aquamagica promises exciting rides, including a 72ft plunge pool and slides.


Manmohan Shetty, chairman of Adlabs Entertainment, told local press: "With the launch of Aquamagica, we are one step closer to creating one of the biggest entertainment destinations in India.

"We want every Indian to be able to enjoy and have an international standard experience without the need to travel overseas. All environmentally conscious efforts including water conservation have been undertaken in the development of this project."

Aquamagica and Adlabs Imagica are located off the Mumbai-Pune Express Highway, 30km south of Mumbai.
