This is the second consecutive ProSlide installation at Skara Sommarland, after launching a 6-lane ProRACER™ in 2012. "ProSlide has helped us set a new standard for extreme-thrill speed slides in Europe", said Hans Ericsson, Skara's CEO. "And no one is happier than our guests!"
Kaplan will be in particular responsible for the production and installation of Alterface's amusement themes. “I am delighted by the arrival of Philippe,” said Benoit Cornet, Founder & CEO of Alterface. “He is the ideal partner for the management of the business. On his arrival, he met a team which is united, qualified and always very receptive to change. After moving from pioneer to leader in less than a decade, Alterface was eager to structure itself efficiently in order to support its evolution, full of great promises! His presence enables me to devote myself even more to the development of our products and markets as well as to understanding the expectations of our future customers and their visitors!”
Notably, course content includes topics such as how to analyze and qualify troubles’ relevance and seriousness, analytical identification of the technical and economic priorities (Costs and Benefits Analysis), RCM approach (Reliability Centered Maintenance) and methods of computerized issuing of intervention requests. ”Zamperla’s long-standing knowledge in the design and manufacturing of amusement rides for amusement parks is the ideal background to all the theoretical topics addressed during the course, and it provides the necessary operational references which complete the education process.”
Only available for orders in North America at the moment, the e-store (http://aftersales.whitewaterwest.com) offers spare and replacement parts for WhiteWater’s AquaPlayTM and SCS interactive play structures (nets, hose jets, platforms, hand wheels, water guns, etc.) as well as for the AquaLoopTM waterslide (shock absorber, springs, etc.) More WhiteWater's products will be available in the future.
Based on the story of a hotel operated and inhabited by witches, the ride is ‘gently frightening’ with touches of humour and replaces an old ghost train which has been a favourite at the park over many years, but had become uneconomic to maintain. Technical Director Anssi Tamminen said “I am very pleased with our new ride and our guests have received it well. We had to satisfy guests who wanted something new and exciting, and traditionalists who wanted us to keep the old ride they remembered from when they were children”.
Implemented into an artificial lake, this musical fountain includes a 12 meters high geyser located in the centre, a dynamic 10 meters high water "palm tree" surrounding it, dynamic 8 meters high oscillating water jets and a 4 meters high water dome. Vertical, parabolic and misting jets have also been installed, all of them creating different water artistic effects. The lighting of the fountain is provided by submersible multicoloured LED lights.These past three years have been intense for NewsParcs.
