The first ‘Junior TAG’ structure in the UK is coming to Rhyl next Spring

TAG

SC2, the new waterpark and adventure zone coming to North Wales next year, is excited to announce that that alongside their much anticipated TAG Active arena, there will be a Junior TAG structure which is the first of its kind in the UK.

Junior TAG is a multi-zone obstacle course similar to that of the main TAG structure, however this is for 5 to 8 year olds only and will challenge younger players to test their own strategy, speed, agility and bravery, whilst promoting fun, fitness and competition.

The two structures form the full TAG Active arena currently being built at SC2, the new £15m waterpark and adventure centre on the promenade in Rhyl, opening on April 5th next year.

On both the Junior and Main structure, players will wear electronic wrist bands when they take on the high energy course with over 40 targets to hit on eight levels, a cross between Ninja Warrior and Total Wipeout.

The aim of Junior TAG and TAG Active is to hit a matrix of computer controlled targets across multilevel zones and compete on time and targets with friends and colleagues, or to beat your own scores, giving both adults and children a unique experience on the North Wales coast.

Leader of Denbighshire, Councillor Hugh Evans OBE, said: “We are delighted that there is so much excitement and anticipation ahead of the opening of SC2 and we are very excited to be bringing the first Junior TAG in the UK to Rhyl. It will be a first class attraction for the whole of the North Wales coast.”

Rhyl Mayor Councillor Win Mullen-James said: “There’s an exciting buzz surrounding TAG Active, as well as the whole development of SC2. This is something that this area has never seen before and we’re thrilled that it is coming to Rhyl.”

Jim Jones, MD North Wales Tourism, said: “SC2 is without a shadow of doubt a game changer for Rhyl, it is another huge boost for our tourism economy and yet again demonstrates the confidence in North Wales as a destination to invest in. The Junior TAG which is the first in the U.K. is exactly the target market we want to cater for. Tourism is worth over £3 billion to our Economy of North Wales and with attractions being developed like this, we are set to see that increase further for both Denbighshire and North Wales.”
