R&R 30
Waterpark designer celebrates anniversary
Celebrating its 30th year in the business, California’s R&R Creative Amusement Designs was responsible for three themed waterpark attractions this summer. At Mulligan Family Fun Center in Murrieta, California, R&R created the thematic designs for a water play tower called Big Splash Pumping Station. Working with Indian manufacturer Arihant and Duncan Design, which built all the thematic elements, R&R created the Western theme. “We wanted to create an accurate Western look,” explains R&R co-owner Rick Bastrup, “while retaining a child’s perspective in the colours and scale.” R&R is currently providing masterplanning for future Mulligan attractions following the successful introduction of Big Splash Pumping Station this summer.
Pirtate’s Plunge at Hyland Hills
At Hyland Hills Waterworld in Denver, Colorado, R&R has been theming water rides and buildings for over 20 years. The firm’s latest attraction is Pirate’s Plunge, a rebuild of an existing slide tower with a buccaneer theme and three new slides. Through the addition of props, architectural details, signage and a rousing soundtrack, the attraction now offers an immersive pirate adventure. Meanwhile at the new Hawaiian Falls waterpark in

Roanoke, Texas, R&R provided all building designs, graphic designs and thematic design throughout the park, working closely with Whitewater West. R&R owners Rick Bastrup and Richard Ferrin are well known for their work at the Soak City and Hawaiian Falls waterparks. For 2012, R&R is working on a dark ride for Sally Corp along with a number of waterpark projects.
WHITEWATER IN KOREA
Pictured here amongst lush South Korean surroundings, the Family Python and Dueling AquaLoops are two of the newest waterside concepts from WhiteWater. The Family Python, pictured at Vivaldi Ocean World, builds anticipation with high banking turns and exhilarating speed before swallowing riders into its 20ft- diameter enclosed MegaTube flume, where a series of oscillations provide rock riders back and forth in either single or double inner-tubes. The Dueling AquaLoops,

seen here at Samsung Everland’s Carribbean Bay, are a twist on the world’s only near-vertical looping waterslide slide. With all the thrills of the original AquaLoop, Dueling AquaLoops add another level of excitement thanks to side-by-side action. Both Carribbean Bay and Ocean World feature among the world’s top 10 waterparks.
