World’s first waterpark for disabled people to open soon

Many theme parks and attractions are inaccessible to disabled people.

It looks incredible.

The world’s first waterpark designed specifically for disabled people is set to open next month in Texas.

Morgan’s Inspiration Island will open in San Antonio in the US state on 17 July and looks far more accessible than your standard adventure park.

It will feature a number of attractions, including splash pads instead of traditional swimming pools, which are easier for people with limited mobility to access.

One of these pads, Rainbow Reef, will be heated specifically to cater for those who suffer from muscle pain or contraction when in cool water, while another, Shipwreck Island will have a wheelchair-accessible pirate ship.

Entry to the park will be free to anyone with a disability, according to its website.
