THIS MONTH’S COVER SHOT: Offering one of the the most intense waterpark experiences, while also proving of great appeal to spectators, the King Cobra is new from Polin Waterparks & Pool Systems from Turkey. This twin-tube attraction is the first to feature slides that merge into the same valley at the end of the ride – providing an unforgettable “racing” experience. Polin will be participating in next month’s Euro Attractions Show in Rome, as well as the World Waterpark Association Symposium & Trade Show in San Antonio, Texas. Read more about King Cobra in the October issue of Park World.

Discounting is a serious issue that the entire industry is going to have to address in the near future. Hopefully it can be better managed by parks choosing “price value” options rather than monetary discounts.
