Adrian- the 80 degree temperatures have finally arrived and Adrian City Officials are hoping that will usher in heavy use of the new $115,000 waterslide at Bohn Pool in Riverside Park.







The waterslide opened for private parties Tuesday and received lots of use before it opend for the public during the weekend. So, from those in the know, "How fun it is?"









On a scale of one to 10 a group of Drager Middle school students would give the slide about a nine.










"Its really cool" said Cynthia Reyana. 15 The large blue slide stands 20 feet in the air and winds 140 feet through three curves before it dumps water enthuiasts into a cool pool waiting below. Standing at the top of the slide for the first time is a bit intimidating said Andrea Hernandez 15. "when you first go on it, its scary but it's really fun. Drager rented the pool Thursday and brought more than 100 students to give the slide a thourough test run.










"When you go down it, it's fun because you spin sideways" said John Elkins, 13 Elkins was off to take another round on the side when Mandy Stormes 14 claridied what he meant. "If you turn to one side on the last turn, youll flip over" she said.
