A separate pirate ship enhances the park's kids area, incorporating its own slides. “Premier waterpark resorts like Ali Bey Premier are helping to evolve and renew the waterpark industry,” notes Polin marketing manager, Sohret Pakis. “Polin is committed to providing the best quality product and service and will continue to expand its L-RTM (Magic Shine) line whilst introducing new signature rides and innovations.” Polin Waterparks & Pools will be participating in this month's Euro Attractions Show in Rome and the World Waterpark Association (WWA) Symposium & Trade Show in San Antonio, Texas.
