Resort Profile RIGHT: Typhoon Coaster by Intamin Waterpark
wonder Whilst work continues on the theme park component of Land of Legends, guests can already enjoy one of Rixos' finest and definitely its most extensively-themed waterpark to date. The 280,000 sq m (3 million sq ft) facility, with a giant wave pool at its centre, in fact acts as a focal point for the entire resort. The park also features a giant
water ride by Intamin called Typhoon Coaster together with an aquarium, dolphinarium, 5D cinema, glass-walled restaurant and over 72 slides and aquatic attractions provided. The water slides include such signature Polin attractions as the Magicone, the region’s first funnel slide, a looping slide, high-speed slides, family rafting slides and a lazy/crazy river. The park also features kids’ attractions and a ladies-only area.
The Legends theme was developed to encompass stories,
fables and folklore from cultures all over the world, stories to which different visitors could easily relate. Each component – hotel, theme park, waterpark and retail – delves into a different architectural/landscape style in order to be distinct. However, they are held together by a central group of characters. The hotel also acts as a story hub and home for all those characters. "Our client group was always gracious and hospitable,
but more importantly, they became friends to all of us here at JRA," says senior project director, Randy Smith. "It is extremely satisfying to see a project come to fruition, open
with vitality, and operated smoothly. We are proud to have played such an integral part from the beginning." “No other waterpark has been built to rival Land of
Legends, at least not in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region,” notes Polin's director of sales and design, Kubilay Alpdogan. “It’s truly a new opportunity for families to enjoy time together.”
