A photograph of a waterpark attraction. The scene is sunny with clear blue skies and visible clouds. Centered in the photograph is a vertical waterpark attraction taking the shape of what can be described as a hybrid of a tree and a treehouse. The base of the attraction is shaped like a trunk. Right above it is an elevated platform where visitors can step in. On top is a large tilted barrel with a continous flow of water, cascading and splashing throughout the structure. The attraction is decorated with toon-like shrubs, branches, and hanging monkeys. Surrounding this energetic scene are children interacting with the splashes of water. A woman on a blue wheelchair is close to the cascading water on the left.
