Guy Nelson, Chief Executive Officer of Empire Industries said: “This contract is another concrete example of how Empire’s global clients are aggressively addressing the growing need for high quality entertainment options throughout Asia. Empire has focused its unique selling proposition to capitalize on the continuing demand for entertainment consumption options from China’s growing middle class.”
Interlink Managing Director John Hudd commented: “This has been an enjoyable project to work on. It threw up some interesting design challenges which we successfully overcame and we are very happy with the end result. Clearly visitors to PowerPark are also very happy as it’s been popular with riders from the first day of opening in July and I’m sure it will continue to be so for many years to come.”
The 40-meter/131-feet tall Tower of Poseidon will offer guests a number of world’s firsts including two AquaTubes ™ which fly through the Anaconda™, the world’s largest diameter water slide at 9 meter/30 feet. “This flume-thru-flume technology offers a revolutionary water slide within a water slide experience, allowing Anaconda™ riders a spectacular view of the AquaTubes™ right above their heads ,” said the company in a statement. Additionally, the world’s first zipline integrated into a waterslide tower will deliver a new level of thrills as riders fly through on two-lane, two-way zip lines spanning three towers. Also originals to the Middle East, a Family Boomerango™ and two Dueling AquaLoops™ will be integrated into the complex.
Indian manufacturer of water park equipments and playground equipments Arihant Industrial Corporation reports that it has completed two new installations in Europe. In the Ukraine, the company delivered Aqua Park a pirate themed water play structure that features several open and closed kiddie slides together with water play elements. In Greece, Arihant delivered a smaller water play structure with a complex of five adult slides that includes a Multi Racer mat slide, a Family Float tube slide and a Crazy Cruise freefall slide.
The project was produced and directed by Esme Jesudason from Singapore, with Nick Farmer from Farmer Attraction Development providing the planning and creative design. Animalive’s real time animation technology brings cartoon characters to life interacting directly with the guests. The scenery was built by Sanderson International, with a team of artists hand painting the scenery precisely recreating the style of Lat's illustrations.These past three years have been intense for NewsParcs.
