innesota's most colourful attraction opened recently at the Mall of America. The Crayola Experience appears at the popular shopping and leisure destination in Bloomington alongside other family-friendly experiences

to life in 4D. A live factory show is also featured. Crayola first dipped its paintbrush into the
attractions industry in 2013, when JRA re-imagined the Crayola Experience in the company's hometown of Easton, Pennsylvania. The attraction now welcomes hundreds of thousands of guests annually and lead to the opening of a second location, in Orlando, Florida, last July.

Empex at Lake Garda
Empex Watertoys recently completed a new splash park at the San Francesco Camping Resort by Lake Garda in Italy, together with local partner Myrtha Pools. Colourful interactive Aquanetics and Aquatons create an enticing water playground for the kids. Tots can dabble at the water in the Aqualab or slide down the Aquawave tot
slide. The Aquanoodle, Aquaspins and Aquaswirl are interactive Aquanetics that allow the children to take charge and control the water output creating spinning tops and pinwheels, twirling arms, cascading streams, and surprise water jets. The Aquaduel provides an interactive game where the participants have to aim
a jet of water into a receiver to be the first to fill the opponent’s vessel overhead, dousing the victim. The water dynamics turn the Aquaflor andAquatwirl around
creating mesmerising water patterns while the Aquasheet creates a long, clear and refreshing water curtain for the kids. An Aquabow trio creates a soft shimmering rainbow in the sun; so much fun to run through! The new installation is one of the first to come fruition since Empex announced
a collaboration with the Myrtha Pools, which already boasts considerable experience supplying splash parks camping resorts, hotels, and cruise ships
throughout Europe. Empex uses a larger pipe diameter to create a colourful, dynamic visual in splash parks. Using nonferrous durable composite and specialty plastics Empex offers a lifetime corrosion warranty, less expensive construction costs and reduced maintenance.
