Tips from the Community

No one's shirt will stay dry! There is no mercy in the water fight 💦 When all the water cannons are in use, it's time to take cover and crank as hard as you can 😊 Shoot your opponents with a thick jet of water or aim at one of the many targets. If you hit them, various sound and water effects are triggered 🥳 https://www.familypark.at/attraktionen/wasserschlacht/
