THE bravery, speed and agility of young people will be tested when a high energy obstacle course comes to Rhyl.

Junior Tag, the first of its kind in the UK, will be based in SC2, along side the main Tag Active which is described as Ninja Warrior meets Total Wipeout.

The multi-zone obstacle course is for children between the height of 0.9m and 1.2m tall and has a suggested age range of five to 10 years old. The course will challenge youngsters to test their own strategy, speed, agility and bravery, whilst promoting fun, fitness and competition.

Councillor Hugh Evans, leader of Denbighshire, 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 that younger and older children, well adults can enjoy.”

The two structures will form the full TAG Active arena at SC2. The £15million waterpark and adventure centre on Rhyl promenade is set to open on April 5 2019.

A new video by Denbighshire County Council has been released showing how work is progressing on site.

SC2 is to boast a 1,200-metre square water space, Wales’ first TAG Active play arena, flume rides, beach style paddling, feature slides and themed cafes.

The attraction will also feature slides including Anaconda, Speedster and Boomerang

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. Players will wear electronic wrist bands when they take on the course with electronic targets to hit on a multi-level arena.

Cllr Win Mullen-James, mayor of Rhyl, said: "There’s an exciting buzz surrounding TAG Active, as well as SC2 as a whole. TAG Active is something that this area has never seen before and we’re thrilled that it is coming to Rhyl as it is bound to be a big draw for residents and visitors alike.”

Jim Jones, managing director of 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 UK 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.”

Individual tickets will go on sale in January 2019 on the SC2 website. There will be a discount for Denbighshire Leisure card holders.

Standard ticket price for the water park is £15.50 for adults, £12.50 for juniors and a family ticket is £48.00 (for two adults and two children). TAG Active is priced separately, which is two games for £10 on the main structure, for adults aged 18 and older, and £7 for two games for the junior structure, which is for five to seven year olds.
