PROSLIDE
Wild Wadi Waterpark in Dubai unveiled its expansion in January, with new fea- tures including the world’s fi rst ProSlide Bowling Alley, the Burj Surj and the world’s longest Tantrum Alley. Spanning a record-breaking 250m
(820ft), this is the only Tantrum Alley with three funnels – two open and one enclosed. Riders in four-person tubes experience an overall drop of 20m (65ft) and plenty of speed and exhilara- tion, with two large sections of downhill waterslides and three tornadoes. The Burj Surj features two 12m (40ft)

NOLA 7
The Bulgarian-based NOLA 7 has designed the largest indoor waterpark on the Balkan Peninsula at Tamplier Resort, Bansko – the Bulgarian ski resort which hosted the world downhill championships. The 1,000sq m (3,280sq ft) facility opens in May with three merging pools, slides, two lazy rivers, water caves, fountains and water curtains. According to NOLA 7’s managing direc-
tor, Richard Bishop, the resort is becoming increasingly popular out of season, so the waterpark will provide family entertainment to complement the adjacent spa centre.
NEPTUNE BENSON
Sustainability is the watchword of Al Ain’s latest waterpark. Slated to open this year, the Jebel Hafeet Project (its working title) aims to give an exhilarating and fun experience for adrenalin junkies, with a surf pool and kayaking attraction. Neptune Benson was appointed to
install fi ve Defender regenerative media fi lters on the installations, which prove that green doesn’t have to be costly, as the operational savings will soon offset the capital costs.
The Defender eliminates more than 90 per cent of the backwash water asso- ciated with sand fi lter operation. This leads to chemical savings and means less fuel is needed, as make-up water isn’t being reheated. The Defender footprint takes up 25 per cent less space than conventional sand fi lters, as it requires no holding tank or waste discharge plumbing. Added to this, the water quality is high, saving up to 25 per cent on chemical consumption.
Water curtains, fountains and caves are among the offer at the waterpark
bowls, which riders whizz around twice in their four- to fi ve-person rafts before being dropped down a slide and into the pool. At more than 236m (775ft), this is longer than all existing Bowling Alleys.
The world’s largest and most thrilling!
