Turkey's Aquafantasy Waterpark adds two Polin waterslides

Aquafantasy Waterpark,

located in Izmir, Turkey, is

part of the Aqua Fantasy Ho-

tel and Spa built on 45-acres of

land. The waterpark celebrat-

ed its 10th year by adding two

unique water rides designed,

manufactured and installed

by Polin Waterparks and Pool

Systems.

The slides, a family raft-

ing slide and a wave slide, are

both constructed of Light-Res-

in Transfer Molding (L-RTM).

Polin's L-RTM slides are differ-

ent than the other slide series

in terms of their distinctive de-

sign and their ride path.

Polin Waterparks and Pool

Systems oversaw all design,

engineering, production and

installation tasks of the water-

slides which opened at Aqua-

fantasy in May. Polin, based

in Kocaeli, Turkey, is market-

ing the park's Family Rafting

Slide to be the longest L-RTM

manufactured family slide in

the world with its 222 meters

(728 foot) length.

"The Family Rafting Slide

makes it possible to share the

entertainment and excitement

together with the family and

friends. Since waterpark expe-

rience is a family type of enter-

tainment, family slides are of

crucial importance and a great

addition with their being high

capacity rides." said Sohret

Pakis, marketing manager for

Polin. "One can experience the

joy of twists, turns and drops

as a whole family in 2 to 4 pas-

senger circular inatable rafts

travel the course. The slide

path is very exciting. Thanks

to different slope angels, it

offers a more exible design

conguration. A conveyor sys-

tem is adapted at Aquafantasy

Waterpark to take the rafts to

the top of the slide structure

where guests will then board

the raft"

The second ride that was

added to the park in May was

the Wave Slide. Wave Slide is

one of Polin’s uphill designed

rides. Wave Slide has a steep

entry point which provides

riders with the thrill of free

falling. Riders rst experience

a steep, initial drop before be-

ing propelled uphill vertically.

Riders then experience another

reverse path taking them back

and forth several times before

the tube stops at the bottom of

the waterslide.

“In the continually evolv-

ing and renewing waterpark

industry, the world’s premier

parks like Aquafantasy Water-

park are after the most attrac-

tive, exciting, appealing rides"

Pakis said. "Polin is committed

to providing the best quality

product and service through

investing in research and de-

velopment and will continue

to further expand its L-RTM

line while introducing new

signature rides and innova-

tions in berglass production

to parks like Aquafantasy.”

Askin Altiparmak, the

general coordinator of Aqua

Fantasy Hotel and Spa states

that “The new slides enhanced

the adrenaline and excitement

thrill for our guests. We are

very satised with these addi-

tions.”

WhiteWater sends 30 meter tall waterslide to Hanwha Resort in South Korea

WhiteWater International

LLC., based in Richmond,

B.C., Canada, recently an-

nounced the completion of

the rst Abyss waterslide,

marketed as the largest and

most thrilling waterslide at-

traction in the world. The

Abyss opened at Hanwha Re-

sort in South Korea in August

2010.

Standing nearly 30 me-

ters tall and using high capac-

ity four or six person rafts, the

Abyss towers over other wa-

terpark attractions. Its inno-

vative design features bigger

drops, higher walls and more

near-vertical oscillations than

any other ride in its class.

The Hanwha installa-

tion site – a small space on

the roof of a partially under-

ground building – posed a

daunting challenge to White-

Water engineers. To minimize

weight and conform to the

limited footprint, WhiteWa-

ter developed an advanced

lightweight exo-structure that

actually improves the visual

appeal of traditional funnel

rides by reducing the amount

of visible steel. Angled con-

crete footings and pilings

bear most of the weight. The

result is a massive orange,

blue and silver structure that

appears to hover just above

the ground.

“Introducing a new multi-

person attraction is always

extremely exciting,” says

WhiteWater CEO Geoff Chut-

ter. “This time, the installa-

tion conditions were particu-

larly challenging, but thanks

to a shared vision of success

and a highly collaborative

working relationship with the

Hanwha Resort management

team, we were able to open

this new attraction on time

and on budget. Guests will

love the Abyss for the unique

entertainment experience it

offers.”
