Guangzhou’s Chime Long Waterpark, one of the world’s best known, has just expanded with China’s first Family Python™ waterslide, as well as an Extreme River attraction.
By day, the Family Python’s™ theming is a spectacle of tropical Hawaiian fun, with an impressive exit and a bold colour scheme. And by night, the spectacular serpent remains entertaining with vibrant lighting effects! Inside the water slide, riders get an intense adrenaline-rush, being swallowed into its 20 foot (7 meter) enclosed MEGAtube™ section, where oscillations, tighter turns and higher banks provides a multi-sensory overload for riders! The high capacity Extreme River is supercharged with a hydraulic system to create the most extreme waves up to 3 ft (0.9 m) high and accommodates over 12,000 people per hour.
Back in 2007, Chime Long Waterpark opened with a mix of WhiteWater waterslides and attractions including a Family Boomerango™, Master Blaster®, Dual Waves, AquaPlay Giant RainFortress™ among many others. That year, it was awarded “Must See Waterpark” by IAAPA and also boasts a record of an impressive 35,000 guests in one day. In 2010, it had 1.7 million visitors, the third largest attendance in the world and the highest in all of Asia.
The company stated : "WhiteWater was proud to have completed the master planning, manufacturing, engineering and installation five years ago, and pleased to be the supplier of choice for Chime Long’s 2012 expansion as well."
