A NEW rule is set to be rolled out at waterparks, and it majorly restricts the type of bag you can take.
The policy has been rolled out for the safety of visitors following a shooting at Algonquin Park.

Only clear rucksacks and bags will be allowed in, to allow for more thorough security searches.
Cool bags will also be banned, but diaper and medical bags will be allowed following inspection.
Small purses will also be permitted, but they cannot be larger than 6.5 x 4.5 inches.
The rules were rolled out by Louisville Parks and Recreation.
In a statement on the Louisville Metro Government (LMPD) website it explained that the policy is “designed to enhance safety by allowing security staff to inspect bags quickly and efficiently upon entry.”
Two people were injured after a shooting in Algonquin Park in Louisville, Kentucky, on June 8.
According to the LMPD, the shooting happened at around 11.40am at the park’s basketball court.
Two men were taken to hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
The Non-Fatal Shooting Unit is currently investigating the incident and there are no suspects at this time.
In June last year, an armed man shot and injured nine people, including two children, at a waterpark near Detroit.
The chaos unfolded in Rochester Hills as families enjoyed cooling off from the summer sun.
The shooter, 42, reportedly fired 28 rounds before he was later found dead after being cornered by a SWAT team – within half a mile from the splash pad.
The gunman pulled up to the park at around 5.15pm local time and started shooting at random, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said.
A witness claimed the shooter was using two handguns but it has not been confirmed.
Cops said the shooter didn’t seem to be in a rush as he reloaded his weapon, continuing his spree.
Police said the shooter was firing from the top of the steps at the splash pad before leaving.
A boy, eight, was shot in the head while his brother, four, was hit in the thigh.
A 39-year-old woman related to the two children was also in critical condition.
