Cincinnati’s The Beach Waterpark has opened a new US$300,000 (€242,000, £191,000) addition to its winter offering - a 400ft (121m) Snow Tubing run.

The new Ohio, US, attraction – available during the winter months – takes riders up to a height of 40ft (12.1m) on a “moving carpet” conveyor belt, before they make the descent using inner tubes on the snowy terrain.

Using snow machines, the attraction will run until 1 March, ensuring regular snowfall through the season. In addition to the new attraction, the park has installed a 10,000sq ft (929sq m) snow area for guests to enjoy, while smaller hills for less adventurous riders and a heated pavilion offering food and drink are also on offer.

The new attraction is part of a move by new owners Adventure Holdings to make the attraction a year-round destination, following on from the park’s relaunch in Q3 of 2013 after a US$5m (€4m, £3.1m) redevelopment.
